Many might not know, but the developers of Lemmy are communist tankies - and i'm not joking - that spread propagranda and misinformation. They for example deny the genocide of the Uighurs in China as it is a "hoax perpetated by the western propagandists"....
Thanks to @dansup, kbin stats are now supported.
Maybe...
Hi everyone, You may have noticed a small change on the website. From now on, upvotes work just like on Lemmy - they are equivalent to Mastodon's "favourite." You can boost a post using the button that replaced "favourite." Another change is that you can now rate and boost your own posts. Boosting has a one-time effect - it...
On Lemmy, comments are not truly deleted, but hidden for all except instance admins. Also, deleted comments will still be present (they just say something to the affect of "deleted by user") and still show the poster's username even after the poster's account is deleted....
Hello,...
What's the best way for us to chip in and help fund Kbin's development or the hosting costs for kbin.social?
Hey all - just started using kbin today as I'm not 100% happy with Lemmy and really enjoying it so far. I also use Mastadon a fair bit, and it'd be awesome to just use kbin for all my social media needs going forward, but I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a way to follow hashtags on the microblogging portion of the site...
Blind redditors, and others who use assistive technology, rely on third-party apps so are looking around for alternatives. Is /kbin currently a good match for them?
Hi everyone, it seems that we have quite a gathering here, and many of you I haven't had the chance to greet yet :) As some of you may know, /kbin is still in its early stages of development. Every day, improvements and new features are being worked on. Unfortunately, this may result in occasional short downtimes. However, the...
I subscribed to a few "magazines", but my "frontpage" has stuff from magazines I haven't subscribed to, hence the topic....
For example: I tried to search all 3 communities from sopuli.xyz featured in this comment https://kbin.social/m/lemmy@lemmy.ml/t/2938/Which-subreddits-would-you-most-like-to-see-on-Lemmy/comment/6790/...
I'm having an issue when trying to comment on posts (or reply to other comments) on Firefox mobile on Android. Once the top of the text box moves above the confines of the screen, the whole page snaps downward so that the text box is off screen entirely. It makes it nearly impossible to type out longer comments....
I see on the project website that the apps are coming soon, but I also see a link for development versions that won't expand for me. Is the link broken or is it just placeholder for now? What kind of timeline are we looking at before an application will be available? Will there be an alpha or beta we can sign up for?...
The only reference to this I see is in the privacy policy, which seems to state its up to the communities/magazines themselves?...
The list of subscribed magazines is available in profile/subscriptions as a list of contacts but is that the only way to see them?...
It's too hard to scan for the start/end of nested comment chains. I need to be able to collapse threads.
Kbin currently creates article summaries by clipping pre-rendered markdown, which then becomes visible markdown when the summary gets rendered on the magazine's index page....
Update: this has now been resolved by changes to Kbin's voting system:...
Despite checking the "remember me" box when I login, everytime I open the PWA on Android I have to log in again. Anybody else?
I'd like there to be an obvious way to add articles to magazines. Currently I have to somehow realize that I need to do it through the plus sign in the upper right. It's also shared with all magazines, so a surefire way to add articles to the magazine I already have open would be great....
What mechanism governs federation with non group based instances? I set up some magazines for Running and Cycling on kbin.social, and I've noticed that there is quite a lot of activity of those hashtags from general mastodon instances....
Apologies, I know this isn't the right magazine (that's actually the problem)....
