I wonder if we could find/contact/contract a developer with an accessibility focus. I'm planning on leaving some moderately significant donations in a few days (damn settling periods and bank holidays making that slow), and maybe there could be a community fundraising effort to get an accessibility expert in to submit some PRs. I made a big fuss out of accessibility on Reddit in the lead up to the protest, and it feels hypocritical of me to not keep pushing for it now. Not sure if Ernest would be interested in that or not, but it seems like it might be a good idea.
That's an excellent point! Like, I still think that it would be great for kbin and Lemmy to be accessible (if they're not), but that's another benefit to federation that I hadn't considered.
I unfortunately agree :( I wanted to use LE, but I really didn't want a bunch of extra infrastructure. I ended up ponying up for a domain cert. It was expensive, but it's really easy for all of my k8s Ingress/IngressRoute/HTTPProxy objects to use it.
I'm really glad you're working on this. @hariette is making Artemis for Lemmy and kbin, and soon the world will have another app for Lemmy. More apps == more better, IMO. Your app is looking great!
Lemmy, kbin, and Mastodon all speak the same underlying protocol -- ActivityPub. I've found that the best way to think of it is to compare it to email. If I send you an email from my gmail account to your outlook account, it just works (well, mostly, email is a bit of a mess lol) even though the two email clients look vastly different from each other. ActivityPub (and federated protocols in general) are like email, but for twitter/reddit.
There are some different message types (it wouldn't make sense to present twitter-like content in the context of a threaded forum like Reddit), and not all instance types support all the different message types. I'm using kbin (via kbin.social) and I can see Mastodon content, but I'm not sure if Lemmy has that ability.
Not sure if that was helpful, and I hope that others come and fact check me, but that's my understanding of it.
I agree. I'm sad at the loss of my 12 year account over there and all the information it had built up. I'm sad to lose my niche hobby communities (for now). Even with that, I'm really hopeful that federated social media will eventually take off. Now we just need to make sure that major corporate interests don't dig their gross claws into it (Meta is apparently making plans to do so).
There is no escape from this community. In the year 2620, when the first entanglements of the interplanetary quantum fediverse occur, the scientists waiting for the start of a new era with bated breath will have the following message passed directly to their visual cortices:
So hopefully I'm doing this right! :) (I'm still new to some of this so haven't figured out things yet! I did ask this via Mastodon also, but wanted to add more detail to my answer!)...
I'd love to play Noita again. I already love that game, but I'll never forget the fear and sense of mystery it evoked in me when I first played it. I beat the game without looking at any sort of wiki, guide, or community, and I'm very grateful I did (although it took me quite a while to beat it for the first time. That game is hard!).
Keeping this very terse to minimize spoilers! In addition to main path, I've done toxic, pure (11), and peaceful (33), but not 34-36. Partial moon (gourd is hard), no sun. All bosses. My completion % is nowhere near 100% right now and my pillars are still not filled out. I'm somewhat handicapped because I play on my Steam Deck, meaning I don't get the precision of mouse+kb controls. That's not a problem for some folks, but it's definitely a problem for me 😅
He can definitely speak with a lot of vitriol :/ It's why I stopped watching his videos. I'm glad he's pushing for right-to-repair stuff, but I just couldn't handle the anger and negativity.
I found out about it because of a hacker news comment discussing the Reddit drama. I'm pretty upset that I didn't discover it on Reddit. I assume any mention of Lemmy was marked as spam or was I just not browsing the right communities?
Nah, this shit is confusing initially. Think of it like email. You're using gmail, but you can still see and participate in email threads sent by Outlook users. It's just that instead of emails, it's a threaded forum somewhat in the style of reddit.
I'll chime in and add Reddit. Once I saw the direction things were going in, I went ahead and created accounts on tildes, lemmy, and kbin (which was the order I learned of them in). Right now, I think I'm most fond of kbin, but I wanted to keep my options open.
At least for me, the comments are currently paginated. I don't like the pagination, but it makes getting to the bottom easier. I'll say that I would prefer the comment box to be at the top, but I'm sure as hell not going to let that stop me from enjoying this site. kbin and the fediverse have done a great job replacing Reddit for me.
I really enjoy this form of protest. The "landed gentry" is giving the users what they want. I really hope that more communities do what /r/interestingasfuck and /r/justnomil have done to deprive Reddit of its advertising revenue.
I want both. Flatpak has saved me some heartburn a couple of times, but the distro I'm using dramatically reduces the need for it. I like native applications running with the shared libraries present on my system. I use flatpak as an escape hatch for when that breaks, meaning I've used it twice.
I finished it a couple of days ago and I was very pleased. Ann Leckie expanded the universe in a really effective way. It also has a lot of heart, which I love.
What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?...
I do, but a lot of it is focused on dealing with fairly intense childhood trauma. Mindfulness for me might mean being aware that I'm feeling worse, until I help myself. Small techniques are deep breathing (4 seconds in, 4 hold, 4 out, 4 hold), going to my comfort places and trying to pick out as many details as possible (I'm lucky and have a backyard with a pond and a lot of birds), and in extreme cases, I'll smell tea leaves. That last one is more about getting out of a traumatic disassociation rather than getting into a state of mindfulness, but disassociation and mindfulness are mutually exclusive, so it's sort of a mindfulness thing ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Like, before I worked on my mindfulness, I'd hide from my problems for months or years. Hell, I'd be so zonked out of the world that I wouldn't know I needed to use the bathroom until I started to feel physical pain. I could numb and hide my feelings so well that I just ghosted through life. Now, I can't do that and I don't want to. Things hurt, things are stressful, things are miserable. Things are also joyful and happy, or are deep and meaningful. I get to have the full gamut, rather than just snark, sarcasm, and nothing. It's probably not comparable, and on further reflection I'm glad that most people will never have to go through the process I went through. Trauma sucks and the recovery sucks too.
r/Blind's Meetings with Reddit and the Current Situation Regarding Accessibility and API Changes
The following is the text copied from the reddit post in the /r/blind sub reddit....
Is it possible to attach and upload files to kbin that are not images?
I have some diff/patch files that I want to share with the RedditMigration sub but can't figure out how to upload them.
I'm sure we'd all love for the coffee community to migrate here, but no one is posting any content. So here's another photo of my latest latte art attempt.

I am working on a new lemmy app for iOS and Android, here's my current progress
Hi all, keeping this post short, I am working on a new Lemmy app for iOS and Android, heavily inspired on the Infinity for Reddit app....
I am new to the Fediverse. I vaguely understand how Lemmy instances broadcast content to each other, but I was surprised to find Lemmy communities on kbin. How does that work?
And it also seems that mastodon can also be "syndicated" to these other communities, and vice versa? Is that true?...

Is there a computer game, or a specific moment, a fight etc that you wish you could do fresh with no prior memory of it?
So hopefully I'm doing this right! :) (I'm still new to some of this so haven't figured out things yet! I did ask this via Mastodon also, but wanted to add more detail to my answer!)...

how did you find out about Lemmy?
I found out about it because of a hacker news comment discussing the Reddit drama. I'm pretty upset that I didn't discover it on Reddit. I assume any mention of Lemmy was marked as spam or was I just not browsing the right communities?

Yeah, this describes my experience so far. I really want to like it here, but so far it's been an effort....

Will Flatpak and Snap replace desktop Linux native apps? (www.theregister.com)
Actually, the better question is: When will they replace most desktop Linux programs?
How do we call kbin users?
Kbinners? Binnies? Kbinators?
