Y’all: I have been wrestling with kbin on the fedia.io instance, but I want to take a step back and give some perspective. Kbin is new, it’s growing crazy fast, and it really wasn’t in a place to support the migration from Reddit. Despite that, @ernest has been working his tail off knocking down issues and helpings instance admins.
Reddit certainly seems to be tripling down on their position and I think kbin is shaping up to be a worthy alternative. If you like kbin (on whatever instance you use it on) and want to see it grow, may I ask that you throw some money Ernest’s way? (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin)
I want to publicly thank Ernest for kbin and for his contributions to our growing fediverse community.
@jerry Thank you, Jerry, that's very kind of you. Sometimes I lack words to express how much kindness I encounter here, and I know I often repeat it, but you are wonderful guys. Truly.
We have challenging times ahead. We need to cover critical functions in the code, develop better moderation tools, focus on performance, and create user-friendly documentation. By doing so, it will be much easier. And I intentionally use the word "we" because what is happening on Codeberg is absolute madness.
It definitely won't be easy for me either because I take this project very personally, but I need to delegate tasks and share the responsibility. Only in this way can we seize the opportunity that has unexpectedly appeared. An opportunity to build something special here.
Now I'm going back to bed. A series of emails woke me up, and I thought something critical was happening on the instance. It's nice to be pleasantly surprised :)
Maybe someone should post this link every day for the foreseeable future because I think it’s gonna be a sleepless week for the Fediverse, but a great one as well....
I just saw an email from Buy Me a Coffee. Not just one. I went in, and I'm truly shocked. Thank you all for the support; I would like to thank each and every one of you individually someday. Honestly, I don't know what to say. The account balance is $350, which will definitely allow me to develop kbin faster or at least not...
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...
PSA: while upvoting exists, to get the "move closer to the top" effect that reddit's upvote had, you need to click boost
a small difference, but important to how people use the site
It's foolish to think open source isn't possible on Android. (UPDATED, Top of All Time on r/fossdroid)

PSA: Upvote is not an upvote like you are used to (like Reddit) - "Boost" is the Reddit Upvote
Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don't know...)...
Logseq: A privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management. (github.com)
With everything going on with Twitter and Reddit I feel like I have a new appreciation for having my own local knowledge base on Logseq....
