I just got Sonarr and Radarr setup with Overseerr and Jackett and got my family on Plex so we can cut the cord on Netflix. Overseerr supports downloading from Plex watchlists so they don’t even need to use Overseerr to auto download movies. I still need to figure out how to sort and download better ones since I’ve selected “seeders” as the download is sometimes prioritizing quality.
I’m in a private invite only torrent site, and most shows/movies have an amazing availability. Seeding is a requirement and becusee its private, my ISP doesn’t send me DMCA notices.
Once I moved from the suburbs in MS to Seattle, I realized how many more friends I could make randomly. Our first night in the city we met someone and exchanged phone numbers. We’ve met a handful of people by just walking to the dog park too! Living in the city has done wonders for my mental health.
It’s really not that introverted in the right crowds. I go to bars/breweries a lot. I also have a dog, and it’s really easy talking to people with her when going to dog parks/bars.
The mods there have decided to allow underage looking content, skirting close to CP. Unless we want such disgusting stuff on our feed, I think we should defederate from that instance....
I am not enjoying kbin.social right now. The latency is beyond atrocious, at 10+ seconds to load each page. The UI reminds me of 2004 forums that don’t know how users work. The mobile UI is just the worst.
Some pain points:
I’m a software engineer so I can figure this shit out, but how the hell do I subscribe to a magazine? If I go to it, there should be a “subscribe” or context menu at the top to subscribe/favorite/mute
Why is the comment box all the way at the bottom? Where’s the “add comment” button on a post?
Why are comments paginated like a forum? Why not just a “load more” like Reddit? What’s the point?
Selecting the comment box should NOT zoom slightly into the page. The mobile web UI needs a lot of work from people who know how to do mobile UIs.
Is there no “homepage” button? Clicking the Kbin logo at the top just brings up a menu, which requires another click on the homepage button to get back.
Edit: And you can't collapse comment threads? What even...
I really want a Reddit replacement, but this is not it with this terrible UI. It’s unusable, literally–if I can’t subscribe to a magazine then it’s not working.
@JoeyAnthony I signed up for Lemmy.one, but the "invite only" currently is off putting and requires a lot of waiting. Even the whole "explain your username" is super weird. I know it's because they can't handle the traffic right now, and it's in early early beta, but still.
Oh, of course magazines are case sensitive. I tried looking for this with different caps, and it gives a 404. Another thing that makes 0 sense.... Great.
Also, comments don't even link to mags automatically...
Even Reddit doesn't have this. It's just a "load more" button, which should be a thing. Pagination makes 0 sense with comment sorting, since by the time you select another page, the sort could have changed for the comments.
I use this on the side of "I've used a LOT of software and seen a LOT of UIs and navigation menus and can figure out how to click all the options to figure it out" kinda thing. It's like how most polyglots just know the basics of a lot of languages and can figure out other languages because they have a lot of exposure.
Lol. Nice try. Nothing like insulting people with no knowledge of their life or what they meant to build a good community!
I've been in this field for 6 years. Lots of UI, web, and backend work, so I know what the hell I'm doing. Sure, it takes a lot of money to build something that a lot of users like, and that takes time and input, but with the whole "Reddit replacement" push, I would hope it would have some kind of parity.
I just meant that I'm a software engineer, so I've seen a whole lot of different UI layouts and navigation styles and can figure it out because it can't be too different from anything I've used.
This. Why?? This is a terrible user experience. I don't care if your little machine has case sensitive folders, it's bad form to have URLs be case sensitive with things users should be able to easily input (not like IDs like how YouTube does).

Why are comments paginated like a forum? Why not just a “load more” like Reddit? What’s the point? It's not to decrease the response because you can do that with "load more" buttons.

Is there no “homepage” button? Clicking the Kbin logo at the top just brings up a menu, which requires another click on the homepage button to get back. This is weird and unintuitive.

When I do an action on the site after like an hour, it takes me through the dumb cloudflare thing. I'm already logged in, why do I need to go through it every freaking hour?? This is an AWFUL user experience. I say "remember me" not "forget me in an hour"
Are most of you using Torrents or Usenet?
I’m a bit surprised to see so many torrent posts. Are most people still using Torrents? Are most piracy users aware of programs like sonarr or radarr?

A lot subreddits end their blackout tomorrow. Will you go back to Reddit, or continue with kbin and the Fediverse?
I haven't used Reddit at all since the blackout began. Even if they change course, the Fediverse is growing on me, and I think I'll stay here....
