/kbin

TL;DR: I made a styled version of Reddit for Kbin instances for people participating in the reddit migration. Inspired mostly by Old Reddit, but it actually has a dark mode!

It would be useful to be able to make a local copy of a “thread” from another node without participating in that other other thread. Think of it as a git branch....

Now that Lemmy was hacked pretty badly, I started thinking how much kbin is tested for possible vulnerabilities?...

yo idk if this is the right place to put this, so sorry if it's not. Iv been really trying to figure this place out and honestly it feels like they made things overly complicated. I understand the magazines and the federated stuff I guess, maybe. But what the hell is the difference between posts and threads. Also I have noticed...

That includes images, and both on mobile and PC.

Well that was traumatic, I kept subconsciously opening kbin only to be greatest with a "Planned technical works are in progress" message. Disaster....

And any other identifying information in image metadata? I would hope that it does so on image upload, but I'm not sure.

A few days ago when I was using /sub I only saw the magazines that I subscribed to. This seems like the intended behavior. But now I see threads from all kinds of magazines plus the ones subscribed under /sub. How can I hide the magazines I am not subscribed to from the subscribed threads view?...

Am I the only one who is annoyed by kbin PWA auto rotate? It always auto rotate even when I turn off auto rotate on my phone. This make it unusable when trying to use it when lying down. It always switched to landscape mode when I try to use it on my bed and it drives me crazy.

I'm new to Kbin. Since the platform is under development, I am curious if there has been any discussion around feed duplicates? Most of us subscribe to multiple things, some of which have some overlap. Just this morning I found an item that fit both in worldnews and news, so I posted in both. But it got me thinking about my...

Especially when you don't want them

I had been using an account on kbin.social without any problems. Then I changed the email address associated with it to a newly-created alias. I did not realize until too late that the alias was not actually valid yet when I made the change....

Hi. I'm new here. I don't understand what does federation mean? what happens when I turn federation on/off

Hi,...

On the list of Magazines at the top of the screen is an option for Favourites - I cannot figure out how to add Magazines to this list, does anyone know?

Lemmy have fixed this problem in the latest developer build, might be in stable by now. They replaced the buttons with toggles which screen readers can recognise. Kbin’s accessibility is top notch aside from this one problem, so chears for that. :)

The title. How often do you turn off federation and only scroll through kbin threads and magazines?

I'm a bit confused at the explosive growth of Lemmy and the slower growth of Kbin. Do the stats reflect the reality or is there a problem with the data being fed back to the various stat hubs?...

I'm quite concerned by the huge increase of seemingly bots on some Lemmy instances. Dvmsocial and beehaw defederated from some. What about bin? How to protect ourselves from the bot swarm that's coming?...

Title. Also, and I know I’m not the first to point this out, but wow Kbin’s names for things are weird. Took me awhile to figure out the difference between posts and articles. Also, anyone know what the OC checkbox does?

See, now, Mashable is being disingenuous here and stating that this is still about the API instead of Reddit's mask-off front and center plantation mentality toward the very people they accuse of being 'landed gentry'.

I am trying to subscribe to a channel on a PeerTube instance from kbin. Considering they are both ActivityPub, it would make sense that kbin could integrate with a PeerTube instance. But when I try to "Subscribe With A Remote Account" using my @ given in the profile section, I receive the error "Cannot fetch information of this...
