Once I decided to treat religion seriously (I'm an athiest) and understand it is a major part of society, history, and the lives many (possibly most) people in my life I tried to do some research and understand what Christianity really was. I essentially came to the same conclusion, and just the idea of what God is varies wildly.
The thing I always wonder now is whether Christians (or religious people in general) really know, or even think about, just how different their beliefs might be. Even if they call themselves by the same thing (Christian, Catholic, protestant, etc)
The few times I've tried talking to friends about this I've gotten the impression that they don't even understand or have never thought about this. I've just come to understand that there's no one answer to any belief system. You have to ask an individual, and they might not even have any answers because they've simply not considered it before.
@SuitedUpDev oh I thought it was a translating exercise. If you're writing the situation in korean from an image then the guy in the picture could be interpreted as "looking at" or "reading" so the answer key included both ig
@SuitedUpDev o I see, yeah definitely something to ask your korean teacher. But in korean you can say you "look at" a book to mean that you're reading it. Though the answer key should have included both 보다 and 읽다 in the answer key, i'm guessing the exercise is about using the verb 보다, which is why it only used the 보다 verb.
In terms of why the answer key wrote it like "look at a book" even though that sounds awkward in English is because 보다 directly translates to "to look" and probably didn't want to confuse you by saying 보다 also means "to read". Which is for the best because saying "look at a book" in korean isn't always natural either.
So ive had a phone for a bit now but i struggle at finding game sand apps to put on it especially free ones. its kinda mid range dphone it cant run genshin impact at all but it runs stuff like battle cats really well i also struggle at finding good or useful apps to download so if you know any please suggest some or something.
this isn't a game but I used to be the same and never got any games that cost money.
Until I found the google surveys app, it gives you money for filling out surveys for Google (questions like "is this interesting?" and showing a pic of an ad. takes a couple seconds and you get $0.1-$1 from it)
now I have Stardew valley, Minecraft and about ~$30 just hanging around that I can use on the play store for movies or whatever. worth looking into if you didn't know about it
it has the core functionalities down. but there are some relatively minor annoyances/confusion points in the user experience which should be fixed.
for context, this is from the perspective of viewing a post from a lemmy instance on a kbin instance.
when users talk about problems/culture/anything specific to their instance, they don't tend to specify which instance they are talking about. which makes things confusing for users seeing the post on other instances.
For example, the lemmy.world instance is having technical difficulties, a user makes a post saying "are we having technical problems with the site?", a kbin user has no information based on the title or content preview which instance that post is talking about.
a comprehensive search for communities in lemmy+kbin+other activitypub platforms does not exist. which makes it hard for users to search across the entire fediverse to find that one niche community that they enjoy. searching for communities on a lemmy instance only shows communities from lemmy instances, and the same for kbin For example, for a lemmy community to show up on Kbin.social, someone from kbin.social would have first needed to subscribe to that lemmy community by manually finding and entering its entire address name, only then would that community show up in a kbin.social search, or vice versa. if a kbin user has a niche interest, and a small community for that interest exists on a lemmy instance, they would not be able to find it (or at least not easily ie. needing to search through a second website that can access lemmy communities)
this may just be a personal annoyance, and it is also something more cultural than technical, but many users use either "lemmy" or "kbin" or the domain name of their instance to refer to the whole fediverse. which is probably just something that will always happen with new users, at least until the community and software becomes more developed.
The search function on kbin.social shows lemmy communities when someone on kbin.social first subscribes to that lemmy community. It will not show up if no one has subscribed to that community before you.
This is why niche communities will be hard to find, popular communities will be easy to search.
Even within kbin instances communities are not searched globally. For example, I made a Korean language community on kbin.social, if I search for it on another kbin instance like fedia.io, it will not show up. It's the same when you search on any lemmy instance
okay so here's my understanding: browse.feddit.de/ will not show you all communities on the fediverse.
feddit.de is a website built on the software called "lemmy". there are several websites that all connect to the fediverse (sh.itjust.works, kbin.social, mastodon.social, etc) running different software (lemmy, kbin, mastodon, etc). browse.feddit.de/ will only show you communities from websites that run the lemmy software
kbin is a different software from lemmy, which is different from some other software that connects to the fediverse. So far to my knowledge, there is no universal search for communities across the fediverse.
I'm not sure why, it might be due to the fact that kbin is new and search providers like at browse.feddit.de/ and https://lemmyverse.net/ haven't added kbin instances to the search function? Maybe they don't want to search for kbin instances?
I've noticed Lemmyverse.net does not include kbin communities in its search and only shows communities on lemmy instances. is there a search service that can see all communities across the fediverse agnostic to the platform?
If this is the way that the fediverse is supposed to work then it does matter which instance you make your account in, which is exactly the opposite of what was advertised about the fediverse. because there may be a niche community which I can't find through the kbin search but that exists on some lemmy or any other software instance on the fediverse.
Why isn't the searching for communities easier? Even on more established lemmy instances like beehaw they don't show communities from non-lemmy instances. Is there some major roadblock or just that nobody has developed a comprehensive search function yet?
If those bad actors in sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world are willing to make an account at a new instance just to send hateful messages on beehaw communities, then it wouldn't matter if kbin.social closes new registrations because they can just go to any other instance that has open registration to send those messages to beehaw communities.
if the issue is popular instances having higher numbers of bad actors, then thats an issue for beehaw/other safe spaces. Rather than an issue for kbin (at least right now). Either way, Kbin is not advertised nor planned to be a safe space (from my understanding of ernest's posts). if there are bad actors then they can voice their hate/opinions and get downvoted/reduced. I don't think anyone on kbin.social cares if there's a minority of bad actors that might "color the site in a bad light". Especially since those bad actors aren't here as of right now.
The solution is for safe spaces like beehaw to continue defederating from popular instances to keep their space "safe". This will continue to happen whether kbin.social closes registration or not.
hey all, just had some questions on how kbin works.
when I make a post on a magazine, it shows up on the frontpage under the "thread" page and has more visibility. if I make a microblog, it stays more contained within the magazine and isn't shown anywhere else unless a user goes to the "microblog" page and selects that specific magazine.
so would it be reasonable to use microblogs as a sort of message board/announcements page? do microblogs get more visibility if it contains tags?
Also If anyone has language magazines they're running/suggests send a reply! I'm trying to start a korean language magazine and wanted to see what others were doing :)
Hey all, I made this magazine with the hope that people who are interested in or learning the Korean language could connect and find a community on the fediverse. I will probably update this article later to have more info and also add some community posts....
And then have no activity in them. Not quite sure why this is happening, is it power hungry idiots thinking if I make fifty magazines, maybe one will be popular?...

Hey kbinMeta....
TIL for almost 500 years the Korean Joseon Dynasty held detailed records of the kingdom and its history. The records contain information on wars, politics, economy, and the king's activities. Detailed logs from the early 1400s are available in english. (esillok.history.go.kr)
