Welcome to kbin!

Glad to see this community dipping its metaphorical toes into the fediverse. I hope one day an entirely decentralized stack will be possible (L3 perhaps?), but federation is already a huge step in a better direction.

Hello all and thanks Kbrot

Why do I see posts from magazines that I did not subscribe to in my front page? Is there a way to turn that off?

T0Bii, 11 months ago

Good question. There's a setting where you can set what you want to see on your homepage. I changed in to 'subscribed' but not sure if it's actually working.

kayjay, 11 months ago

I’m still seeing these posts under my subscriptions page, so I’m not sure the subscriptions page is actually working properly.

edit: figured it out! on mobile at least, even if you set your homepage to subscriptions it will not actually take you to subscriptions if you click the home button. Yo have to use the filter button and select Subscriptions from there.

kbrot, 11 months ago

I believe the front page is currently operating like an r/all. In fact when they restore federation, you'll start to see content from other instances (Lemmy, almost certainly)!

But while that's super cool, many don't want that. I'd set your bookmark for https://kbin.social/sub for now. That'll filter it.

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

not-ngmi, 11 months ago

Based on my understanding, Mastadon doesn’t scale well because a server can be spammed with illegal content which creates legal liability for the person running the server.

Does this platform have the same issue? Or is there a different way to address that issue?

strawdar, 11 months ago

Seems like an issue for virtually any website that allows user posts/uploads? Or do you mean that the federation part makes it more vulnerable to spam? Corporate sites like Reddit and Instagram just have the money to hire lots of admins to keep on top of it.

Thanks for setting this up KB!

@jtnichol I know you are not there anymore but do you know if Gridplus has any plans to ship from EU? I want to buy like 6 more cards.

Hi!

fiah, 11 months ago

so what happens if you "boost" something?

kbrot, 11 months ago

At first I was led to believe it was a "retweet" -- that it would post to your (the boosting user's) microblog. But over the days I think it's more of a signal booster, a sort of community-driven pin. Basically, it moves boosted comments (or threads) up the page, for more viewership. We'll see how it works best as time goes on.
