I just suspended the 'kbin.social' domain from our side, the issues on their side is happening for days now and it really effects our service backend now also.. If they have it all solved we will remove the block and we can refollow again Sorry about this but we don't have other options
Today we are beginning to open Flipboard to the Fediverse, a rapidly emerging part of the Web which includes social services like Mastodon, Threads, Pixelfed, Firefish and PeerTube all built on a revolutionary open protocol called ActivityPub....
@mosseri: The current plan is you'll have to have a public account and explicitly opt in to your content being available on other servers. This is consistent with what other large players like WordPress are doing, but somewhat controversial within the Mastodon community. If we end defaulting people in, we'll absolutely offer an...
hashtags which are placed within the #text #body of articles should not federate - but if put into the tags section below, tags will federate without much ado :)...
While not nearly as big as the Fediverse yet, Bluesky is rapidly catching up in terms of daily active users, verified news organizations, and federation capabilities.
I've noticed that when I'm browsing microblogs on Kbin, I see very few favorites (upvotes) on posts even when there are tons when you look at them from Mastodon. For example, this post doesn't seem to have any favorites, but look at it from Mastodon, and you see over 120. In general, federation with Mastodon is really...
When I look at this post: https://kbin.social/m/politics@beehaw.org/t/343651/Trump-charged-in-Georgia-2020-election-probe-his-fourth-indictment#entry-comment-1636999 I see the thumbnail for another article....
Going straight to the point: I was wondering what is the criteria for kbin to pick federated magazines (number of subscribers maybe?) and if there is a way or workaround to pull/force them into the "All magazines" list....
I was thinking about how there are similar communities on different instances. In some cases that is desirable/ok but maybe it would be cool to have another option....
It seems that any Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml hosted communities aren't any longer federating properly via kbin as I started getting 404 errors on all of them. Examples:...
I know this is a silly question, especially as I'm currently focused on local-only feeds, but there's just one part of the Fediverse I wish would get more love: PeerTube. While there aren't a lot of people actively looking for alternative video hosts outside the big guys (Twitch, YouTube, Dailymotion, etc.), it would be nice to...
I wanted to share some of my kbin articles by boosting them from my Calckey account, but I can't see them from Calckey. If I search for the kbin post from Calckey, either by using the "copy URL" or the "copy URL for the fediverse" link, nothing is found....
I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...
The Small Web is for people (not startups, enterprises, or governments). It is also made by people and small, independent organisations (not startups, enterprises, or governments2)....
I mod a Magazine here in kbin.social, over the past couple of days I noticed that it wasn't available over on lemmy.world nor is it searchable from Mastodon. Today I noticed that the Magazine is now searchable from lemmy.world though none of the posts are synced. It's not available on Mastodon yet, nor is it at fedia.io....
I've tried several different guides and scripts and always ran into issues. This was the first one that actually worked rather well for me so if anyone is running into issues, give this a try!
