For sure guinea pigs would evolve into capybaras

Mbin is a fork of kbin: a decentralized content aggregator running on the Fediverse network (lemmy.ml)

Mbin is a decentralized content aggregator, voting, discussion and microblogging platform running on the fediverse network. It can communicate with many other ActivityPub services, including Kbin, Mastodon, Lemmy, Pleroma, Peertube. It is an open source alternative to other link aggregator services like Reddit. The initiative...

Honest question: what's the reason to make a fork instead of contributing do kbin itself?

That makes sense!

For my basic knowledge working side by side with a lot of devs, I totally agree with the way Ernest thinks. It's essential for a product that's growing up to have a solid core that will not need to be rewrote in the near future.

But also, as an user, I keep wishing we could see more features, like the API for mobile apps.

I mean, besides what Ernest and Melroy thinks that's the right way, there's also what the users need, what the users want and what the project needs to escalate (new features vs core rewriting). And probably there's not a right answer for that.

Oh, thanks for showing the other side! Like always, things are not just black and white.
I have never heard about Melroy before, but I was scared by the last comment. It's nice to hear that there are nice people working on this branch :)

Firefox for Android context menu editing (lemmy.world)

Recently Amazon, I suppose their app, added a search item to my context menu, which is quite a nuisance. Other apps have as well, such as DeepL and Wikipedia, but I believe those have a valid use case without too much of a commercial interest. Is there a way to remove items from the context menu without removing the related app?

Thanks for explaining!
Now I know it's almost like they're asking for me to uninstall their app!

Launch the API on the main instance

best news ever!

Same here! Many years ago I paid for a lifetime subscription and I really don't regret it (but only because it was an one-time payment for life).

You mean when violence was more aceptable than talking? Of course I remember (even because it still exists) and I'm very happy that society is evolving

Watch out, he's going to virtually punch you until you upvote his comment, like a real man would do

Every time you post new content from Artemis, the suffering for waiting for my invite goes bigger 😭

Recomendo dar uma lida sobre a estratégia EEE (Embrace, extend and extinguish), que eu acredito que é exatamente o plano da Meta com esse Threads, já que devem estar morrendo de medo de perderem o domínio das redes sociais pras soluções descentralizadas.

I'm liking Kbin too much to start hating it now! Please, Ernest, don't tell us who you really are

Also there's really a UX problem with images (which appears to be fixed at testing instances) but, for now, you can enable "Auto media preview" on settings, so you don't need to click them.

And, next year, the first day of the Reddit blackout will be a massive cake day here in Kbin!

Sometimes I really like that we still don't have too much content at the Fediverse

I know that we NEED more content at Kbin, Lemmy and all the Fediverse in order for them to grow and substitute Reddit and other networks, but sometimes I just feel really happy that I can open my app and read almost everything that was posted in the last few hours without being suffocated by a billion of new posts....

Oh, now I see! So the upvote is really an upvote and the only difference is that it doesn't count for reputation, right?

it's Friday night, what's everyone doing this weekend?

Mine is going to be laid back if all goes according to plan. I'm going to do some birding with a friend tomorrow morning, then I'm headed to a used bookstore to buy a copy of "the pricess bride" that I talked myself out of the other day (I've never read it). Then I'm hitting the farmers market and then relaxing at home for the...

If I can give you an advice: don't stop trying to get used to kbin.
For me, at the beginning it felt a little complex and hard to find what I wanted, but after some days it started to feel like home and everything now makes sense (except for the upvote button that don't really upvote a post)!
