I appreciate that earnest made a post yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, saying that he is not dead and hasn't given up on kbin. It's not on this magazine, so I'm not sure where it was since this seems to be the most appropriate one, but in any case....
I recently made a major update to my Improved Channel Select Menu userscript, which adds your subscribed magazines and liked collections to the channel select button in the header....
Incoming long-winded wall-o-text that could have probably been 3 sentences. Idk this is what you get for 99% of what I post being just fuckin' links I guess lol sorry....
Cross posting this over here because of the obvious federation delay. If you’re already here, feel free to leave your comments on this thread instead of waiting for the 12-24h delay on kbin, but feel free to comment there should you wish....
Is it gonna reach anywhere or die out like kbin and the way it is going i would say mbin ? They are also trying to dip toe in the microblogging platform as well and trying to use lemmy clients and that confuses me as they are promising some features lemmy doesn’t have so how would that and the microblogging part work out on...
Heads up that functional print community on kbin is probably dying because kbin developer disappeared. There’s a fork, called mbin, and the new community is fedia.io/m/functionalprint...
i can find and subscribe but I don't see any content. It could be because no one else on my instance subscribes so i will only see content that is created after i joined the forum (what Friendica calls all groups, whether kbin magazines, friendica forums, lemmy communities, guppe groups or GNU Social Groups)
With the talk of Erenst (The solo guy running kbin) missing in action, there's talk of communities migrating over to other instances that are maintained by more than 1 person....
First, I think Ernest has done a fantastic job and I've been rooting for him this whole time. But it's becoming clear it's all too much for him without the support of a larger team....

Abandoned large magazines are being bombarded with spam and admins are nowhere to be seen it seems. Hundreds of spam bot posts have not been deleted for months, see /infosec /internet /opensource /science, etc. and there are some posts about admins not responding to reports. So whats happening here?...
Since Kbin is shitting the bed and you opened up here… let’s kick off one of the saddest days in professional wrestling with an excellently produced video.

Good news if you like old-fashioned forums: NodeBB is testing ActivityPub federation.
Lots of things aren't working yet. I was able to receive this post on my instance, but the delivery report for my attempted reply says "delivery rejected 403".
Nice to see that all the text formatting on the original NodeBB post displayed correctly on my #streams instance.
February Update on ActivityPub Development
Hello everybody!
It's dark and miserable outside, on account of it being rainy Image/photo in my little corner of Canada, but in this little corner of the fediverse, there are some definitely exciting things happening!
Today marks the day that our community forum connects to the fediverse. We've updated the code and switched over to the activitypub branch, and enabled federation on two categories, the NodeBB Development category (which is read-only for everybody but NodeBB staff), and the Testing Ground, which is meant for content of no consequence.
It also means that henceforth any bugs discovered are public and I'd be on the hook to fix them post-haste Image/photo
We're doing this gradual rollout not only because I'm quite excited to share what I've achieved so far, but also because I'm developing in public and it's important to gather feedback as early on as feasible.
It also means that — barring some crazy regression causing me to roll everything back — I'll be providing development updates on this account instead of my personal (@devnull).---
So, what works, and what doesn't?- User-specific topic lists and the global topic list
- If you navigate to /world, you'll be brought to your custom topic list of remote content, of which there won't be any unless you start following some users
Bi-directional user follows
You are able to follow a remote user from within NodeBB by navigating to their profile. Doing so at this time is rather difficult, see below.
Likewise, people outside of NodeBB can follow you from sites like Mastodon, Pixelfed, kbin, etc. simply by searching for your username.
Your "handle" is your username followed by @community.nodebb.org.
Bi-directional federation of content
Topic and replies posted to this category and the testing ground will be automatically propagated out to your followers (if any), and responses to that content from outside of NodeBB will show up here.
Propagation of likes to the local NodeBB
Likewise, if your post is liked by someone outside of NodeBB, it will be reflected in the topic
Announces (aka "Boosts")
If your post is "boosted" or shared by someone outside of NodeBB, there will be a notification within the topic.
No update would be complete without a list of what doesn't work, so here goes...- Finding remote content and users
- Discoverability of remote content is currently quite limited. You are not able to search for content outside of the local NodeBB, but this will be worked on in due course.
- You are currently able to navigate to remote profiles by manipulating the URL (e.g. NodeBB's fosstodon profile: https://community.nodebb.org/user/nodebb@fosstodon.org
Emoji
If you're reading this from outside of the NodeBB community forum, you won't see the emoji I put in the post... yet Image/photo
Mentions
@oplik0 is planning to work on integrating mentions, but that is currently at the to-do stage
Notifications
When a remote user interacts with you (e.g. upvotes, replies, and follows), you currently aren't notified
... plus about a thousand other things.
There's a huge amount of work to do still, but we'll be seeing a more featureful integration in the coming weeks/months.
Also, there is a non-zero probability that when I hit post, this will cause the NodeBB community to crash.
Today I learned about Sublinks (here), an open-source project that aims to be a drop-in replacement for the backend of Lemmy, a federated link aggregator and microblogging platform. Sublinks is designed to be initially API-compatible with Lemmy, allowing existing Lemmy clients, such as Lemmy-UI, to integrate seamlessly....
Looks like Kbin is running a pretty huge federation backlog, as it's taking several hours for comments to federate out. I'm not knowledgeable about how these servers work, but is it teetering on collapsing or something?

Unmoderated and now extremely delayed federation - is it time to move?
