Give it a couple of days. It is not easy to scale a platform as rapidly as the devs are doing. They are doing a great job at it! This will improve over time.

2 dailys in a row? We've practically got this down to a science

Pro tip: You can turn on infinite scroll in the settings so that you don't need to view different pages of comments of the kbin daily. 😎

Is it working for you? I changed the setting but still see pagination.

Yeah I just realised that it doesn't seem to work in comments sections 🙃

Not too shabby over here!

Hi all and welcome to kbin and m/ethfinance, our temporary-and-maybe-someday-more home while reddit learns its lesson.

I didn't get a chance to reply to everyone in the previous thread, but I did read. Please feel free to ask me any questions about kbin, Lemmy, the fediverse, and I'll try to answer. I've spent quite a few days now exploring it. I also encourage fediverse users to chime in, whether it's from Mastodon experience or somewhere else.

The dev (@ernest) is lovely, responsive, and working hard right now. Feel free to chip in with suggestions at m/kbinmeta or if you have web dev experience, maybe consider reaching out directly to help.

No doubt you're all noticing kbin is slow. It's good to remember that the beauty of federated (decentralized) servers is also in the initial brutality. Servers can be run by anyone (great!) but servers must be run by someone (oof). Ernest is one guy, spinning up a server for refugees of a global conglomerate. It's partly why I tried -- and will keep trying -- to open a server of our own.

I'd encourage everyone to have a little patience, be extra kind and gracious, and at worst, take a little time away from the screen if it's crawling. They're planning a large infrastructure change next week. In the meantime, try to enjoy the brave new world here. We haven't had a truly "new" website to explore in many years. It's kinda exciting!

Now back to the memes, lines, and triangles.

Brambrameth,

What's the process to set up a server ? I mean what are we missing ? Is it a matter of tech skills, a matter of fuding ? I'm happy to help with both

kbrot,
kbrot avatar

Thanks. Definitely tech skills. Don't need funding anytime soon. I'm extremely tech savvy and have a homelab, but never attempted anything remotely like a kbin server before. I basically crunched an entire server admin course into 3 days to try and get something up and running for us.

You can see my work so far here: https://ethfinance.duckdns.org/ ... (It'll eventually be EFbin.xyz)

Anyway, the only way to register and login currently is Google OAuth, which isn't great for a DeSo website. I also got my Github OAuth key running but... there's no button. I'm unable to get the kbin instance to talk to my SMTP server, which is just a namshi container. So, people were signing up -- and I can see them -- but they're all "inactive" and unverified because no emails are going out.

Perhaps most importantly, I'd be happy to turn off email verification and just let people sign up freely. I just don't know how to do it.

If you've got the skills, I'd see if you can grab the repo from codeberg/kbin and parse through the symfony compose and ENV files. You'll have to explain the solutions to a dumb dumb like me, but I'd greatly appreciate it.

Brambrameth,

I'm not sure I start from a better place than you. I know zero about all of this, but I would be happy to dig and help kickstarting an initiative !

Should we be using https://ethfinance.duckdns.org/ instead of https://kbin.social/m/ethfinance/?

kayjay,

Yo! I also have a non-ETH question, soz. I’m another newbie to kbin, lemmy, fediverse, the whole thing.
I noticed this post, and one for cs, were "pinned" to my subscriptions feed, despite not being subscribed to these subreddits.. ahem, magazines. Is this a "feature" or am I doing something wrong?

Having posts (or is it threads? I am so confused by all this new terminology) from magazines I’m not subbed to appearing in my subscriptions feed is not exactly something I want. If I want to find stuff I’m not subbed to, I’d check the r/all-equivalent page, right? That’s at least how I’d assume most people want it.

Having topics I’m not exactly interested in (no offense) like crypto and counterstrike shoved in my face isn’t a good first taste of the platform IMO. Or are they just pinned for everyone because they’re directly relevant to the Reddit exodus situation?

Probably not replying to the right person here, but thought it fitting since you seem to be in contact with the dev and this thread (post?) is relevant to my question.

kbrot,
kbrot avatar

Yo! Yes, threads here are either "articles" (on reddit would be a text post), links, and photos. On kbin, a "post" is essentially a tweet. Those are viewable in the Microblog tab.

I too have our daily and the cs at the top of the homepage. While it's possible there's enough activity her to place us at the top, I can't imagine it'll stay that way for long. I would anticipate all of these UI quirks being addressed over the coming days and weeks. I agree it's not ideal. The dev is working around the clock and could even be breaking things as he works.

In the meantime, I'd check out various Magazines and see what interests you can find established here. Hopefully the communities here are chill as they gear up.

kayjay,

I figured it out! Despite setting subscription as my home page in the settings, it seems clicking the home button still took me to the r/all-equivalent. On mobile, you have to use the filter button to filter to only subscribed to see only the magazines you’re actively subscribed to. Hopefully that’s a bug that’s fixed at some point :)

newtosh,

I’d check the r/all-equivalent page

Just to make sure I don't misunderstand, the r/all-equivalent page would be https://kbin.social, while our "sub"/magazine would be https://kbin.social/m/ethfinance/, right?

kayjay,

Yes.

  • kbin.social = reddit.com/r/all (or just reddit.com if not logged in)

  • kbin.social/sub = reddit.com (when logged in, as in just showing you your subscribed subreddits/magazines)

  • kbin.social/m/[magazine] = reddit.com/r/[subreddit]

Thanks @kbrot for setting us up with the magazine (will take a while to get used to this title) and 100x thanks to @ernest for making kbin in the first place!

Yes, the server is slow and there are things that could be improved, but everyone can help making this great:

Thank you, kbrot, for sheltering us here while Reddit goes all evil corp on us. Or do I need to write /u/kbrot to ping you?

I have a couple of unimportant and non-ETH related questions -

  1. How do I set up a profile picture? I went to “Profile” but I don’t see where to set it up (on mobile if that matters).
  2. I turned on “Infinite scrolling” in the Settings but the daily still paginates at the bottom (i.e., I have to click on the next page number). How do I change that?

It’s weird feeling like a helpless newb all over again.

  1. For the profile picture go to Settings -> Profile and there you can upload an avatar.

  2. same here

zzmthesurand,
zzmthesurand avatar

You have to go to Settings > Profile first to edit things like your profile picture and cover picture.

kbrot,
kbrot avatar

It's all the dev's hard work for now. I just made the magazine for us.

You should be able to @ me. Testing this @anon (what a username to claim!)

  1. Settings > Profile > Avatar for the pic
  2. Not sure, I haven't toyed with infinite scroll yet. (Didn't want to push the servers any harder than necessary for now.) It could be a UI bug that needs multiple refreshes or even a log out/in?
metaStatic,

literally won't upload for me. Tried with all addons turned off (which is how I had to register) and even on Edge. I just don't get to have one it seems.

kbrot,
kbrot avatar

Aw, hopefully just a quirk of these early days. We'll just pretend you're a dark gray block irl too for now.

Thank you @kbrot, I was able to set up my avatar, though I can't get the infinite scrolling to work just yet for some reason.

Dray11,

Good morning! Looking good over here, good work KB

Morning!
Just testing new mic... =)

easy_like_sunday,

This is great. Even if it's intermediate. Thanks for setting it up Kbrot!

Ambrosius,

Good morning! Was missing the daily, great job setting this up Kbrot!

Made a new account for the occasion because I like it more thab my old handle (15KisFUD) even though 15k is still FUD

T0Bii,

How do I stop the automatism that automatically opens the RIF app and tries to find the daily?

newtosh,
newtosh avatar

Like many third-party apps, Reddit is Fun is gonna be shut off in a few days anyway. So maybe uninstall already?

sleekninja,

GM to all in our new home!
