Today, I will be slightly less available as I am in the final stages of taking care of all the formalities, and I also had to handle a few personal matters. Starting tomorrow, I will be back at full capacity again. When this succeeds, in the next releases, I will focus more on frontend and accessibility.
We're experiencing massive delays on the queues today. We're actively working on a solution, and I think we're getting really close. Just wanted to let you know ;)
Oh man, it's the first time in my life I'm going to a meeting with friends with a laptop in my backpack. Give me a call if you need a server restart or smth ;-)
I've had a few days playing around with kbin now, and I really can't say enough good things about it!
It's still very early beta, but it aggregates groups from friendica, gup.pe and chirp and handles them in a smart interface. It also has dedicated reddit like groups (called magazines) that are cross compatible with lemmy. And best of all, you can set up Calckey like antenna for each magazine. This means that not only can you see content explicitly posted to the magazine, but there is a separate tab for content automatically aggregated from the wider fediverse
I've already created a bunch of magazines simply because there aren't many there yet, but I look forward to handing them over to other people once the userbase grows
@ernest, what an amazing platform you're developing!
Alright, it was a long night for me. But I'm going to bed fully satisfied. It seems like I've uncovered most of the issues that were only visible at this scale. I temporarily fixed critical things, and in two days, a update will be released that will preevnt such troubles for some time.
Hi @maegul, I just wanted to let you know. It's not perfect yet, but it's something I'll be working on in the coming months after the first release. Thanks for pointing it out, it's a relatively simple change, but it makes a significant difference in the overall experience.
@ernest Woah, this makes a heck of a difference. That's powerful!
I love the way that kbin gives you far more options to sort the Microblog feed than, say, Mastodon.
Most popular posts (by people I'm subscribed to) from the last week. Go. Boom!
Hey, I'll try to handle the abandoned magazines / transfers as quickly as possible. However, I need to automate this process because there are too many requests.
@ernest Hello. After your done with this process, have you considered making a magazine called /m/kbinRequests where people can apply to takeover abandoned magazines? Thank you for your work.
I've submitted the second to last #kbin#API PR for review! This PR adds thread and thread comment retrieval, creation, deletion, editing, voting, reporting, and moderation functionality to the API! The last PR will be very similar to this one, except for microblogs!
Didn't you have the API 'complete' like 2 months ago?
Yes, but it did not have any tests written to verify that it worked. These PRs have been resolving that issue so that there can be at least some guarantees that the API works when it gets onto kbin.social and others
(Also, please remember to buy @ernest a coffee if you are able, he's been burning the candle at both ends to support kbin.social and deal with personal business)
This is the first time in years I've had trouble logging off of social media not because I'm too addicted to stop, but because I'm genuinely having fun. I'd almost forgotten what that felt like.
@DreamerOfImprobableDreams I think at this point Im just really interested to see the new ways people are interacting and sharing info. I also love this evolution of people just posting to everyone in ways that aren't spammy or garbage!
How do Badges work? I setup some on /m/Utah and have tried adding them to threads, but there doesn't seem to be any sort of drop-down or autocomplete for them. And I don't see them show up anywhere on the thread pages.
What do Badges even do? I assumed they were like Flairs on Reddit, but now I have no idea.
