Invidious: an alternative front-end that is open-source and privacy-respecting. Here are a list of open instances. If you are reasonably familiar with docker/self-hosting you can also host it yourself, but be aware it's somewhat resource- and maintenance-heavy....
I'm using SmartTube on my TvBox and live in fear it will stop working xD
There's also a component for foobar2000 (yes, I'm GenX) called Youtube Source. You can search content, add results to foobar playlists and see the video (embedded in the skin or on a different window). Sometimes the video doesn't load but restarting foobar it's usually enough.
Alright I really thought I had cracked this nut, but some of these are still eluding me. I went on a run of subscribing to a bunch of remote communities and felt like I had really mastered the fediverse in theory and in execution... then I was humbled....
AFAIK it happens because old posts are usually updated only when they are searched (I guess to avoid importing too much stuff) and last time I tried you just needed to search the lemmy address but I tried again and right now it doesn't seem to work.
Sometimes it takes time to sync, so maybe they'll show up in a while but if they don't it could be a bug/federation issue.
For example, I could search "best blender reddit" and browse tons of threads and gather advice. Is there an equivalent we can do in the future with Lemmy/Kbin?
is it possible to mute instances or communities as opposed to straight up blocking them? making sure they dont show up on your /all/ page but not removing the ability to view any and all new content when its linked via different community...
also, is it possible to move the community/magazine description to the top of the page rather than the bottom, as infinite scrolling makes it a bit tedious to unsubscribe or subscribe to communities
Not sure if it works for everybody but on mobile a tap on the top left kbin logo opens the sidebar so you don't have to scroll all the way down.
Uh.. that's unfortunate because many will just interpret it as federation being bad and will go back to reddit preaching against fedi.
That being said it could also be a reason for admins to have conversations about how to deal with these migrations and which moderation tools they need.
I remember being on Usenet but at the time I think the average user would have little to no knowledge on how the system worked. You just had to choose a server after reading a few guides and there was no rush.
I like how federation works but right now people come here with different expectations and when it occurs in waves I think it's too stressful.
@Nepenthe I think on #kbin as it looks right now a microblog post could be easily missed if the magazine is very active but the thing is that when federation works they could also go on all the federated microblogging instances and on the home of the followers. This way they could get "points" from favs and boosts and be more visible here as well.
They could also be useful to comment realtime events, even though this will probably be a problem for the rest of the fediverse because here you don't need to put an hashtag and it's not easy for people to selectively mute them so they would probably mute the user.
I'm not sure, because when you create a new post you have to select the magazine and that's already enough to end in the right place so people that don't care about federation in theory don't have an incentive to use hashtags.
Am I interpreting correctly that if I were to, say, make some random comment about being sick as a dog in a microblog, that might get picked up by accounts interested in dogs? If I understand that, that seems like a disastrous oversight.
I guess the sentence you wrote would be fine if you don't use the hashtag dog but even if you did I'm still not sure it would get picked by magazine fetching that hashtag because you are already posting from "inside" a magazine.
I keep seeing people saying how easy it is to sub to Lemmy communities on kbin. I can bring them up on kbin just fine by copying the link on the Lemmy community, but how the heck to I subscribe to them?
I'm not sure if this is fine but since it wasn't active on every page I've added an asterisk on row 7 like this: // @match https://kbin.social/*
and it seems to work.
On #lemmy the first page is usually set on "local" and to see the federated content you have to switch to "all".
On #kbin it's (often?) the opposite. To switch to local content, select "Federation status: OFF" in the sidebar (federation icon, near the settings one).
@bouddeun top right, select "Subscribed" from the drop down menu near your nickname. If you're redirected, click again on microblog and it should work.
@bouddeun oops, sorry, I misinterpreted. Right now I'm not sure if it's possible because the focus seems to be filtering content from other platforms but I think if it's not already available it's one of those options that will probably be added.
I'm no dev or admin but my understanding is that being fully synchronized is not that simple, both because it could be too demanding for small instances and because it's a topic that involves privacy for many that prefer to be less connected but when your instance is pretty active I think the amount of connections should be pretty decent anyway and if it's not you can visit other "federations" and import new stuff.

TL;DR version:...

Please help with the basics of subscribing to remote communities. (Many ways to do it wrong, included)

what imgur alternatives do you use to share images?
drop em here!!!
With all of the instances having different URL's, what's the best way to "google" a question and get Lemmy instance answers?
For example, I could search "best blender reddit" and browse tons of threads and gather advice. Is there an equivalent we can do in the future with Lemmy/Kbin?
So ... how are we going to interact with our reddit siblings?
Shall we embrace cross posting?...

Beehaw is defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, two large lemmy instances
See Beehaw's Post to find out why
Looks like federation is working again!
I just saw some posts from beehaw.org and lemmy.world, looks like we're back in business!
Am I missing something?
I keep seeing people saying how easy it is to sub to Lemmy communities on kbin. I can bring them up on kbin just fine by copying the link on the Lemmy community, but how the heck to I subscribe to them?
Share your CSS and JS snippets here
Here's a place to share your little tweaks that you might think aren't big enough to warrant a full post, share away!
Are communities from other instances bugged? Am I stupid?
Specifically, communities from lemmy seem to show lower post/subscriber counts here than on lemmy, and don't display all of the posts?...
