I like kbeans too. Cute and way better (and easier to type) than keebinetters. Also where tf is the "kee" coming from?

Dear pre-migration Keebinetters, how can we NOT ruin kbin for you?

As a former redditor I am glad to have found a new "home" and I hope I'm not intruding. Nevertheless, we are all a huge migration that is bound to change how kbin works and we're bound to piss off some pre-migration Keebinetters. The fact you guys were here before and not in reddit makes evident you don't want this to become a...

Agreed!

How about kbinians or kbinistas?

Either that or trying to be the first one to post the same meme reply to the same meme repost you've seen for the millionth time.

This is correct. Instances are separate sites with separate user authentication systems. They can push content to each other, but otherwise are separate entities.

As far as I understand, the thrid party app developers stood in solidarity and they are scrapping the apps no matter what at this point.

The protest is more of a way to show reddit administration that they need to be community centric rather than profit motivated because the community can mess their shit up if when they need to.

I don't know what it will do, really. I'm just glad I got out and found this place. I hope more like minded people find it and move too.

I agree with both of you @Rexxiter and @Ole, and the best thing for me here is, people actually talking about things like a normal forum.

Reddit has that "everything is an inside joke and to get upvotes, you gotta post the appropriate inside joke first" feeling. It's a collosal collection of memes in that regard.

This here feels like a normal forum with normal people talking normally about normal things. It's amazing!

Fingers crossed, this place will take off and we'll have all the inside jokes we need!

Also, check the side bar. The site is getting crazy traffic in its prototype stage. With this much demand, I'm hopeful (knocks on wood).

Of fucking course, wcgw is business as usual.

Federation isn't working correctly right now because the site admin (and founder) put in the cloudflare protections in place due to insane traffic the server isn't equipped to handle.

Otherwise, here you go!

Boost is a repost or retweet on mastodon, and in the microblog sections of kbin.

On thread comments, a boost pushes the top level comments to the top of the stack. It means "this is the shit, everyone's gotta read this first."

On the threads view, a boost pushes a thread up the list but not all the way to the top, so it's practically an upvote.

In all cases, if you have followers, it pushes the threads and microblog posts you boosted into their feed.

One thing to know is, the up and downvote buttons don't do anything to the placement of a comment or post. It's a general like-dislike marker.

If you want to upvote something as in the reddit functionality, boost it.

The stuff you already boosted have a line under the boost button. You can take your boost back by hitting that again. It doesn't delete it from your followers' feeds obviously but it makes it easier for it to be overtaken by something that's boosted more.

From the rather small snippet they showed, it looked pretty promising to me. It seems that it is very faithful as a SC successor.

I wonder how they'll manage the balance between playable factions. As far as I understand, the game will be faithful to SC in that regard too, as in three quite different factions to play with.

Yup. Now they really dunnit. spez just up and kilddit. There, I seddit. I don't regreddit.

Kbin Roadmap 2023

A certain stage of development has ended - a prototype was created that allowed me to verify whether such a form makes sense in the #fediverse. Until now, it was a project that I developed in my free time. Now, thanks to the great people from Nlnet, I will be able to devote much more time to it. This time, we have already...

I think this is a sensible suggestion. Maybe it could be implemented through privacy settings. Right now, you can hide your subscriptions (they are public by default btw, fyi). Maybe it's possible to make it so you only upvote anonymously.
