Ever since I started using smart phones, I have been jumping between different weather apps and have not been very satisfied with most of them. I found the apps from the big weather providers like Accuweather and Weather Channel to be bloated and distracting with advertisements and irrelevant news. The app I was closest to being...
Looking to maybe self host my own instance, I’m still learning about the fediverse. If a different instance that I federate with hosts something illegal are there risks to me? Is anything from other instances hosted on my server like a copy of it? Or would I only end up hosting things my users post? I’m paranoid and sorry if...
Bluesky, a decentralized Twitter-like social network, is pausing new signups “temporarily” to try and resolve performance issues it’s been experiencing after Twitter introduced limits on the amount of tweets you can see in a day. Even though you still need an invite code to be able to join Bluesky, it seems that the influx...
One of the best things about reddit was looking for answers or other users with the same problem as you, and since Google didn’t really help with that anymore and instead insisted on giving you business results, the best practice was to put your search terms in followed by ‘reddit’ and you’d find your answer.
I’m really only now getting heavy into emulators and I’ve been playing a lot of PS2 titles on my android phone. That’s rocky enough that I know 360 emulation on a phone would be trash. But how is it on PCs?...
I'm having trouble getting my home Lemmy instance (lemmy.federate.cc) to play nice with Kbin and I was hoping you all might be able to shed some insight....

Each has its own github repo where the developer responds to issues....
Currently, on the main instance, people have created 40191 accounts (+214 marked as deleted). I don't know how many are active because I don't monitor it, but once again, I greet all of you here :) In recent days, the traffic on the website has been overwhelming. It's definitely too much for the basic docker-compose setup,...
Another update and possibly a solution for some case where posts were not properly deleted. Seems I jumped the gun on this and the restores haven't been intentional - at least not in this particular case....
Good morning! :) Today I want to focus mainly on reviewing the pull requests you've submitted. There are many great things there that will help improve the kbin experience. That's amazing, thank you! I'm also in the final stages of sorting out the infrastructure-related formalities. Soon, the situation with the website's...

Why don't upvotes count?
What is the possible reason why upvotes in Kbin do not add up to the overall Reputation, but downvotes do?

If I self host a Lemmy instance for just myself and maybe a few friends are there any risks?

How is Xbox 360 emulation these days?
I’m really only now getting heavy into emulators and I’ve been playing a lot of PS2 titles on my android phone. That’s rocky enough that I know 360 emulation on a phone would be trash. But how is it on PCs?...
OC Is there any way to be notified when others respond to your comments? I feel like it naturally extinguishes conversations to not have any notifications?
I've gone back and noticed that sometimes a handful of people had responded to a previous comment and I never realized it....

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...)...
