Kbin uses boosts as upvotes for their karma calculation, which is why you see the QI style scoring. Strange system.

Yeah, this is a consequence of recent changes. It has already been fixed on the test instances. The changes will soon be implemented on kbin.social

To clear up some confusion: Kbin users need links without the ! and lemmy users need them in.

Soooooo here's a helpful hint to tamp down that utter confusion you seem to be having:

The guys who want armed guard genital inspectors in front of every bathroom are the bad guys.

+1 on the mastodon point. i remember hearing about it all those years ago and being a little skeptical, but then when i finally checked it out last year it was SO good. love that place.

i saw a brilliant toot that perfectly captures how i feel about the fediverse: "I like a small indie coffee shop where the coffee is better and you can always find a seat, and it's not full of crying babies."

Pons_Aelius,

I totally agree. The first two weeks of this month were the kbin golden age.

It has been all downhill since then.

sik0fewl,

Ah, yes - the Eternal June. It still has not ended.

No, I mean it literally has not ended. It's only the 28th.

I’ve stopped using it. I now bounce around alternatives but Kagi is the best and my go to now. Here are some alternatives to consider:

Putin should run away to Finland or other Baltic countries. I think they have good transports to a luxury hotel in The Hague just for him.

sugar_in_your_tea,

That's probably because of a mixture of things:

  • younger people are more likely to try out new SM
  • younger people are more likely to be liberal
  • many people here are fleeing from other SM that skews liberal (mostly Reddit)
  • the founders were largely socialist, so liberals probably felt more at home in the early days

At least that's my take.

That said, I want nothing to do with maga-style communities.

SOOOOOO after finally setting up my kbin dev environment I went ahead and wrote some code to add support for EXACTLY this on the official kbin codebase!

GIF of it in action:
demo

I have a PR up for it already here: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/167

Now just need @ernest 's approval and once it's merged you'll be able to do this on kbin without any modifications!!!

edit: clicking on a comment now also hides its content (other than the username), making it even more clear which threads are collapsed! (similar to apollo) – updated the demo gif

My biggest problem with kbin

The biggest problem with kbin is honestly quite simple, but I don't people is talking about is the fact that finding the magazines that I'm subscribed to is in Settings > Subscribed, on Reddit, it's literally in the top bar, I don't get why it's buried in settings. Another thing is why is my home page full of posts from...

Nougat,

Where might I find and apply such a stylesheet, and is there also one for making threads collapsible?

Unfortunately, only after the infrastructure change will I gradually start accepting all traffic from the Fediverse. I'm really working on making it happen as quickly as possible.

Sync was incredible, I'm not even upset about being unable to use Reddit, I'm just upset about not being able to use Sync

OC The branding for kbin is perfect

The branding for kbin is perfect for capturing the reddit migrators. The biggest friction point for the Fediverse is choosing an instance. If I want to join Lemmy, googling Lemmy takes me to a landing page with no join button, telling me to go to these other sites. Some of these sites even actively discourage signups, creating...

This. Federated services always felt daunting to get into like which instance do I pick? can I see all the content from whichever one? I heard about rogue mods/admins which one is safe? etc. but with kbin it's just: sign up for kbin. There's also fedia which is basically just alt-kbin lol. Very easy.

Someone also had a suggestion to change the name of Magazines to "Bins", I think Bins would be incredibly catchy and on point.

Edit; Found the thread where it was suggested first:

Credit to @HeartyBeast for coming up with it!

This is the thing for me. I think I'm experiencing a bit of news FOMO. Reddit has been reliable for years at supplying news, cat antics, and pretty girls. I also agree that google+reddit has been really useful in solving very specific problems.

HandsHurtLoL,

Yes! For me, it was extremely effective at its primary goal of being a content aggregator. I kept up with sooooo much news that was thematicly linked (national news, world news, politics, specific country's news/politics) that I could be the smartest person in most rooms I occupied in irl.

I think though that the corresponding magazines will be the first massly populated here on kbin.

Highfall,

It's tough, I've used it for 12 years and i'm devastated because atm there's no site that can replace the community and the amount of centralized content available.

However, I went through the same journey 12 years ago because of Digg and I hope /u/spez continues to fasttrack reddits death. Making a community of addicts give up something they are addicted to requires a special sort of talent, and the faster spez can apply his abilites, the faster the community can move on to the next platform and build something better.

Right now we are in limbo where the replacements aren't nearly as good, and reddit isn't quite dead yet. This is the worst stage.
