Today's social media transform us into merely numbers.
No problem for me.

A starting guide to kbin.social + support thread for new users

Frequently seeing users expressing confusion about the workings of kbin.social and the larger fediverse. Thought it was worth making an intro guide to iron out some of the wrinkles in the understanding of how all of this works in hopes of diminishing the barrier to entry the idea of federated content seems to pose. Some of this...

As the developer has explained, /kbin name is a wordplay on domain karab.in (Original, Polish instance) and /sbin (from Filesystem Hierarchy Standard on Linux)

How to determine instances sh.itjust.works is blocked by?

I was wondering if anyone knows how to figure out which instances are blocking this one? I know beehaw is as it was quite public, but now we are blocked by 2 and I am just curious which instance is the second one. I have looked on the awesome-lemmy-instances page and also tried Federation Observer, The Federation Info and FediDB...

Congratulations, you have found a tool made by Kiwi Farms - here is a Wikipedia article on the website

news.cosocial (remember, that they have a Mastodon instance too) works on allow list anyways

I warn you, that the existence of this tool made some Mastodon instances hide their block lists (or simply display the lists on e.g. static site)

Wątkoświat rośnie na potęgę, a ja ciągle nie wiem czy ten cały kbin to się czyta ka-bin, kej-bin, khy-bin czy jeszcze innaczej ;)

@LukaszHorodecki Jesteś Polakiem, zatem ka-bin

Kierunkowy74, to fediverse Polish

kbin.social ma teraz według swojego nodeinfo 34 682 użytkowników miesięcznych.
Fediverse.observer nie pokazuje tej instancji, ale gdyby to robił, to jedynymi instancjami z większą ich liczbą byłyby:
mastodon.social
podejrzany serwer rosyjski
pawoo.net
jeden obrzydliwy i dwa ze zmanipulowanymi statystykami.

Cała reszta, w tym mstdn.social, mastodon.world, mas.to i mstdn.jp mają tych użytkowników mniej!

Nie. Baraag. Poświęcony lolikonowi, który jest w Polsce nielegalny.
Wymieniłem sześć serwerów, do mastodon.social nic nie mam, a kbin.social jest siódmym największym (wg użytkowników miesięcznych oczywiście)

I try but fail. Tried to register - entered the data and clicked "Register" → endless waiting. The same when I try to log in.

Yes, the developer of /kbin is Polish.
Lolicon is illegal in Poland.

The way is PeerTube - federated and peer-to-peer.

we have "sub-lemmys" but what we are missing for lack of a better term is "dom-lemmys", hear me out

What we're really lacking on the ui end is a way to see groups of identical communities that are on different federated platforms. Hence the idea of a dom-lemmy. The way it would work is lets say you search for a cat community called "cats", there's at least dozens of them out there already. Instead it would return the cats...

Or multifeddit. 10 Lemmy servers already named themselves Feddit.

IMHO, we should rename Microblog Posts to Notes. Any content created on /kbin or another Fediverse instance is actually a post, regardless of type of it. We are witnessing a clash between Reddit-specific and /kbin-specific meanings of post, and this could only increase. Note name is more in line with *key apps and (most important) with ActivityPub specifications.

They can't scale. They will survive, though. Other generic Lemmy servers are overshadowing Beehaw as a generic Lemmy server. And it is fine for both them and Beehaw, IMO.

In groups socials

Or maybe In groups social. English has got some postpositive adjectives, but -s ending is too ambiguous. (socials = plural of a social, of adj. social, or 3rd person sing. of to social?)
