So far I am really loving kbin. We will probably see some bumps along the road because of the rate it is growing. I am mostly a mobile user but on a browser it works fairly well. I however would like to see a button at the top of the threads that would auto scroll you down to the bottom so you can make a comment. What are some small quality of life changes you would like to see on the site.
is there a way to delete a magazine I created, or make it private/hidden/something equivalent? I made it as a test to try to understand how this platform works but I don't actually want the responsibility of managing a magazine and I don't want to steal the name from someone who might actually do something with it
@gunnervi Huh. I just noticed there doesn't seem to be any straightforward way to delete a magazine. Maybe I'm missing something somewhere, but I couldn't find anything immediately obvious.
Are users able to block entire instances, including users from that instance? I'm able to block lemmy.ml as a domain to remove their self posts but I'd like to block their users as well.
Hello, been using kbin for the past couple hours. Really impressed with a lot of the UI, but running in to a few issues. The one that is sticking out to me is being able to only see posts the magazines that I am subscribed to....
I'm seeing a 500 server error when using the single quote character (') in the search box. Anyone else having this issue? I searched the codeberg issue tracker and didn't see anything there yet, but I could've missed it.
I see on the project website that the apps are coming soon, but I also see a link for development versions that won't expand for me. Is the link broken or is it just placeholder for now? What kind of timeline are we looking at before an application will be available? Will there be an alpha or beta we can sign up for?...
On Lemmy, comments are not truly deleted, but hidden for all except instance admins. Also, deleted comments will still be present (they just say something to the affect of "deleted by user") and still show the poster's username even after the poster's account is deleted....
What is the difference between creating a post, an article, a photo, etc? Is it just a different interface for creating it, or is there some deeper technical difference?
What happens if you don't select a magazine when creating?
Let's say I want to follow friends on Pleroma/soapbox instances, is there a place in the interface where I can see and interact with a feed of non lemmy/kbin posts?
So I deleted a post I made to /m/Tardigrades as I attached the wrong image and now I get 500 server error for both that magazine and my profile page, I can see other kbin magazines & profiles just fine. Is it just a me thing or did I break them (oops) it is same deal when I check on private browser
@dannekrose This is related to Redis (database cache layer) actually. I suspect it's due to today's update. In the database, the avatar field was null, but the cache layer still held the association.
I run into a 500 error when trying to add moderators to my magazine. I didn't see it mentioned in the documentation, is that actually a feature that's not yet available?
Probably a silly question, but what is the checkbox marked "OC" for when adding a new article/link/etc? I thought it was maybe to mark Original Content (like for if I personally drew a picture and posted it, as opposed to linking to someone else's work) but I could be wrong and don't want to use it incorrectly! Thank you!
Are there any decent mobile apps for android for viewing kbin? If it's possible to avoid using a browser app to view kbin, I'd love to explore that route.
Kbin magazines in the Fediverse/Mastodon - some issues
I have started a magazin here and made a couple of tests in Mastodon. Most important features works well: Mastodon users can subscribe und get the threads and micro-blob posts and they can post in the magazin. But there are a couple of issues:
After the usr subscribes the magazin, she/he gets the posts. But when she opens the account of the magazin though her/his mastodon account, the user sees only an empty account instead to see all the post since date of subscription like in a.gup.pe
If the subscribed mastodon user clicks on the hashtags, she/he doest get the posts/threads published in the magazin. Only posts in Mastodon and othe microblogging plattforms.
When the user receives the posts of the magazin, there is not indication in the post that they come from the magazin. For instance in a.gup.pe the user sees that the group boosted it. But OK, maybe it doesn't have a solution, and it is not really a bit issue.
ah, just making some propaganda :)
the magazin I have started is about plant/vegan milk, mostly focus in DIY https://kbin.social/m/plant_milk
Hey all - just started using kbin today as I'm not 100% happy with Lemmy and really enjoying it so far. I also use Mastadon a fair bit, and it'd be awesome to just use kbin for all my social media needs going forward, but I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a way to follow hashtags on the microblogging portion of the site...
Blind redditors, and others who use assistive technology, rely on third-party apps so are looking around for alternatives. Is /kbin currently a good match for them?
@dragfyre@elouboub Mobilizon and Funkwhale are within the scope of my close interests, and I'll be playing with them soon. It seems that Funkwhale is currently throwing an error, but I quickly glanced at the payload and it appears to be something that can be fixed easily, at least until a deeper integration is done. I will keep you informed about the progress ;)
