What mechanism governs federation with non group based instances? I set up some magazines for Running and Cycling on kbin.social, and I've noticed that there is quite a lot of activity of those hashtags from general mastodon instances....
Hi all. I have decided to shut down the unofficial kbin guide magazine (https://kbin.social/m/unofficial_kbin_guide) as well as shut down the unofficial docs page: https://unofficial-kbin-guide.surge.sh/....
I started on kbin.social, then moved out to kbin.cafe to try to avoid overloading the flagship instance and help out with decentralization. Then the admin went inactive, so I fled to kbin.run. This is active and I am satisfied, but it is also running Mbin, a fork of Kbin. I'd like to try regular Kbin again, but I don't want to...
I recently created an account on a new kbin instance. Is there an easy way to migrate my account to that new instance? I feel like this should be easy to find. As such I suspect that such doesn't exist yet, or I'm an idiot. Both are equally possible.
There's been a definite uptick on spam bots lately, all Kbin users. I've been reporting them as I see them while browsing new, but it gets tedious. Sorry about the report spam, mods. Does the new user registration need to be tightened up any?
For maybe almost a week now when I click on my notifications I just get an error. I figured I would see something about the bug but since I have not Im wondering if its just my user for some reason.
I've been encountering a bug when I try to follow certain users from mastodon instances. I'll click the follow button, but get no response. Following other users on the same instance works fine....
Either I am too dumb or I would like this feature to be added. It would be cool if there would be a button where I can directly jump to the source link if I want to read the article first, after diving in the discussion or if I don't want to open the thread altogether.
Context: I signed up for kbin using my Google account on desktop, but don't want to do the same in my mobile browser. I don't know my current password so I can't set one up in account settings.
