Since everyone is joining kbin.social can I just host my own kbin server on my homelab? Does that help? Should I get others to join it? Im so new to this but it seems exciting. If I self host.. how do I find other content I want to look at? Is there an activityPub search or some such?
So far I am really loving kbin. We will probably see some bumps along the road because of the rate it is growing. I am mostly a mobile user but on a browser it works fairly well. I however would like to see a button at the top of the threads that would auto scroll you down to the bottom so you can make a comment. What are some small quality of life changes you would like to see on the site.
Are users able to block entire instances, including users from that instance? I'm able to block lemmy.ml as a domain to remove their self posts but I'd like to block their users as well.
I'm seeing a 500 server error when using the single quote character (') in the search box. Anyone else having this issue? I searched the codeberg issue tracker and didn't see anything there yet, but I could've missed it.
What is the difference between creating a post, an article, a photo, etc? Is it just a different interface for creating it, or is there some deeper technical difference?
What happens if you don't select a magazine when creating?
Let's say I want to follow friends on Pleroma/soapbox instances, is there a place in the interface where I can see and interact with a feed of non lemmy/kbin posts?
Kbin magazines in the Fediverse/Mastodon - some issues
I have started a magazin here and made a couple of tests in Mastodon. Most important features works well: Mastodon users can subscribe und get the threads and micro-blob posts and they can post in the magazin. But there are a couple of issues:
After the usr subscribes the magazin, she/he gets the posts. But when she opens the account of the magazin though her/his mastodon account, the user sees only an empty account instead to see all the post since date of subscription like in a.gup.pe
If the subscribed mastodon user clicks on the hashtags, she/he doest get the posts/threads published in the magazin. Only posts in Mastodon and othe microblogging plattforms.
When the user receives the posts of the magazin, there is not indication in the post that they come from the magazin. For instance in a.gup.pe the user sees that the group boosted it. But OK, maybe it doesn't have a solution, and it is not really a bit issue.
ah, just making some propaganda :)
the magazin I have started is about plant/vegan milk, mostly focus in DIY https://kbin.social/m/plant_milk
Can we favorite Magazines, or just Posts/threads for now? On reddit Sync (3rd party android app) I liked being subscribed to most topics of interest, but for others I only liked to view them once in a while. Favoriting them meant that I wouldn't be subscribed but also I wouldn't have to search to find them, especially when some had unique names that I had trouble remembering.
