A small FAQ to hopefully help new users to kbin (kilioa.org)

I wanted to post this here since I want to help as much as I can in my own way to people coming here for the first time. I hope it is useful and helpful! I tried to assume low knowledge with the Fediverse in my responses which I collected here from a different post and assembled into a single article....

I'll be the first to admit that I actually wasn't much of a Reddit user. What I do is turn on my notifications and then check for new comments in the notification menu. I'm not sure that will get you exactly what you want, but hopefully it will be a start.

If you haven't, notification settings are in the Settings menu you can see when you click on your user name in the top bar. It's in the first tab, General at the bottom.

Why are people able to see who votes on a post? When someone up/down votes a post it should be only visible to the person who did the voting, not the owners the poster or anyone else

@timetravelingnoodles

This is due to the nature of the Fediverse mostly. Kbin, lemmy and other platforms all exchange data with each other using a standard that's meant to be flexible, but has a lot of ambiguity. As a result, to accommodate the vastly different platforms (not just kbin or lemmy which are the Reddit-like platforms), some of the design decisions end up with behavior that doesn't quite fully mimic the large social media platforms that many of them try to emulate.

In this regard, upvotes are actually using what's known as a "Like/Favorite/Star" to represent them. These by design, are a way to let the creator of the content/post/thread/microblog/etc know that you "like" their content. In kbin, instead of showing it as a number of "likes" or "favorites" as on other platforms, shows as the number of "Upvotes" on a thread, or post. Lemmy also uses "Like/Favorite/Star" for upvotes.

@wahming

For Sure. It might not be comments, but some other way the thread shows up without the magazine information. I have seen the same thing you describe but I haven’t been able to capture data on it. I have a few ideas on how to test different scenarios but I need to figure out how to capture the raw data as well to verify.

dannekrose,
@dannekrose@kilioa.org avatar

@wahming

I haven't fully tested this hypothesis, but it's based on what I do know.

I believe that when a comment/reply is federated before the main OP thread/article, it "looks at what it's a reply to" and tries to fetch the "parent" thread. But (and I haven't verified so I'm not certain yet), when it fetches the parent Thread, I don't believe that contains the "group/(magazine)" information, just the "thread content/post" part. It's because magazines are not the author of the Article/Thread, the user account is and so a reply would be to content that the OP account created without reference to the Magazine.

When new content is federated and pushed out at creation time, that does have the associated Magazine information, even though the author is still the user account that created the Article/Thread/Link, etc.

@wahming

Without looking at the exact data exchange in it's entirety, I can't say for certain. I'm not even sure if the trigger I suggested is really what is happening.

But you can see the parts I'm referring to in this anonymous sample of what it looks like when an Article(Thread) is federated out. In this example, there is no value for inReplyTo, but that would have the link to just the individual content, not the magazine. You'll see the "actor" and "attributedTo" is a user account, not the magazine.

@wahming

Without looking at the exact full data exchange, I can't say for certain. I don't even know if the trigger is as I think it might be.

But you can get a sense of where the information for the magazine account is by looking at this sample payload of what it looks like when a new Article/Thread is created and federated out. There is no "inReplyTo" because this is the initial thread/article, but it would point to the direct url for a previous content, not the magazine.

@Brome

EDIT: I believe actually it's because the thread is of type Link. Did you create it as type "Link?" If so, try recreating it as type "Thread."

dannekrose,
@dannekrose@kilioa.org avatar

@Brome

You're welcome! Sort of. In general, Calckey and others (Mastodon as well) don't handle non-Note-type data very robustly. Those are used a lot with groups and Calckey doesn't really understand groups very well. It's know and it's on the road map, but I don't think this one example is a high priority at the moment (Link-type threads)

dannekrose,
@dannekrose@kilioa.org avatar

@Brome

If your Calckey instance has Authorized Fetch/Secure Fetch enabled, this might prevent pulling, but I haven't tested that exact scenario yet.

dannekrose,
@dannekrose@kilioa.org avatar

@Brome

I edited my reply, but I believe it's because the type is a Link, not a Thread. Can you try recreating the thread but as type "Thread?"

Lemmy was my first fedi server that I failed to setup. But I'm enjoying the troubleshooting ​:blobfoxcrylaugh:​

Of course! By the way, I have raw traffic for different kbin content if you want to see. DM me and I will be happy to share.

dannekrose,

@Pixelologist

I haven't seen one yet, but that doesn't mean there isn't one hiding out there.

I also know that not as many of the Twitch streaming group has made the jump to the Fediverse due to reach, existing audiences on Twitter or Instagram because posts only show up chronologically to direct followers.

With that said, while Lemmy and Kbin are great for what they do, perhaps something more like a Calckey instance would be helpful since it allows for more ways to keep and organize information you want to refer to. I use it a lot and the ability to keep information together as well as find new information as it passes my way for something like Streaming has been more valuable and useful for me.

I'll let the head dev for Calckey describe it:

https://calckey.social/notes/9giaghp6yvc5khvo

Good luck either way!

Can't find certain communities and users in search

I'm trying to search for otherkin@pawb.social and maia@crimew.gay so that I can follow them, but neither comes up when I use the searchbar. For the community, I know kbin.social is federated with pawb.social because other communities from there do come up in search. I've tried searching for both using name@domain, @name@domain,...

dannekrose,
@dannekrose@kilioa.org avatar

@Rainbows

There seems to be some intermittent federation issues at times it seems. You could raise an issue and see if someone can check the kbin.social server side.

dannekrose,
@dannekrose@kilioa.org avatar

@RainbowsAre they protected by any kind of bot protections? If so that could interfere.

Is there a way to improve Federation rate?

I mod a Magazine here in kbin.social, over the past couple of days I noticed that it wasn't available over on lemmy.world nor is it searchable from Mastodon. Today I noticed that the Magazine is now searchable from lemmy.world though none of the posts are synced. It's not available on Mastodon yet, nor is it at fedia.io....

dannekrose,
@dannekrose@kilioa.org avatar

@Valhaitham

I just searched for your magazine from fedia and it showed up right away.

I used @ magazine @kbin.social (no spaces) in the main site search box.

The same for Calckey.
Make sure you add the leading @ before the magazine name and domain.

@dannekrose@kilioa.org avatar

@Noki

I actually did testing on that and you can see what I wrote in this FAQ under the question what happens when someone follows a kbin magazine from a non-kbin platform. It’s the part labeled
Small update June 17 2033

https://kbin.social/m/kbinfaqs@kilioa.org/t/20459/A-small-FAQ-to-hopefully-help-new-users-to-kbin

@Valhaitham

Any suggestions for PS5 multiplayer games?

As the title says, I'm curious to know what are the best games to play online with friends on the PS5. My friends and I play Apex, but some are starting to get burnt out so we're looking for alternatives (that aren't fortnite, OW2 or Destiny 2). It feels like good multiplayer games are a bit limited. We tried Deep Rock Galactic...
