The People and Domains pages (in Explore) are now implemented

Both the "People" and the "Domains" tabs in Explore now have content. You can also click on individual people or domains to bring up a feed by that group. Threads now have a globe button that opens the corresponding domain page. Unfortenelly, the API does not yet support collections (correct me if I'm wrong), so I can't work on...

You're right. I hadn't even noticed that till now. I'll be sure to add it in when I get the chance.

I agree with @Drewski, defederation should be the last choice. Kbin does have an option where you can block whole domains, so if you'd prefer that, go here and click the block button: kbin.social/d/fanaticus.social

OC Prototype for new Kbin app: Interstellar

I've been working for the past week on a new kbin app. At the moment, it's just a prototype and only the "Feed" view has content (you can't sign into an account or post anything yet); you can see threads, thread images, thread comments, thread links, and thread votes/boosts. You can also change the "Theme Mode" and "Instance...

Right now, I'm planning on Android. I'd put it on iOS if I didn't have to pay $100 a year for the Apple Developer Program.

The individual magazine's page has not been implemented yet; I might try to work on that tomorrow. Unfortunately, kbin.social does not support the API yet (that's why karab.in was the default).

Both kbin.run and kbin.melroy.org support the api and are english if you want to try those.

Yes, I noticed that. I think those are from citations (with >).

I was using the flutter_markdown package to render markdown. Fortunately, the text style can be changed, so once I get around to it, I'll fix the color issue.

Thanks, that's helpful.

RTR#38 User profile, tag and search page filters, API deployment progress

Today, we successfully addressed most of the recent issues on the instance. As the database continues to grow, proactive measures are essential to address and improve any weak points. The aggregate view introduced additional benefits, such as filters on the tag page and the search page, making implementation seamless through...

Hey @ernest, not sure if you saw my question here (https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/p/3482999) or not, but I was wondering what the recommended way to authenticate a user with the kbin API that allows federated use. From what I understand, the way it's currently set up is that developers have to register an oauth client with a kbin server in order to authenticate users from an external client. Does that mean every kbin server we want an external client to connect to has to register with oauth?

@ernest, I just have a quick question. Looking at the kbin oauth documentation on codeberg and swagger, I got the impression that an authorization client needs to be registered on a server before a user can start using the API. This would be fine if kbin weren't federated, but what if a user wants to sign in to a different instance that doesn't have the oauth client I set up? Basically, I'm asking if there's a way to use the API without setting up the oauth client, but still be able to login to an account. Thanks

RTR#35 User profile enhancements: sorting options, new date range filter, reputation points fix

Today, I made some updates to the user profile. I've introduced the capability to sort and filter content. Additionally, I've implemented a new feature allowing content filtering based on a specified date range, which is now operational across all views. While there isn't a dedicated button in the interface yet....

Additionally, I plan to launch an API on a secondary instance to avoid disrupting work on applications.

Sounds great! I was literally just wondering about that.

Also, I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but I've noticed posts don't seem to show up in feeds until they have at least one favorite. This post, for instance, wasn't in https://kbin.social/c/kbin initially, but once I upvoted it, it showed up. Maybe it doesn't qualify as "hot" if it has zero votes.
