I can't seem to interact with Mastodon posts from my Kbin account?
I haven't used this platform since the mass migration a few months ago. I thought I would give it another try.
Back then the main reason I chose Kbin over Lemmy was I was under the impression that Kbin would allow me to partake in both Lemmy and Mastodon.That it would combine a Twitter and Reddit experience into one login. Is that not the case? Do I also need a Mastodon account to respond to posts on Mastodon instances?
This Fediverse platform is still as confusing as it was months ago. Likely I just need a little further guidance.
Also, since back when I last looked for youtube alternatives, many that seemed good turned out to use things like NFT and the sort, I feel compelled to ask:...
I think RSS would be the best Youtube alternative. RSS works great for just about anything you want to broadcast. I don't know why people refuse to use it for video.
I just wanted to know if anybody knows of specific kitchen utensil brands that're actually worth buying long-term. Or atleast which ones should be avoided....
IDK. I've never had a kitchen utensil break on me. Not sure it matters what brand you buy. When it comes to kitchen utensils I think the vast majority are buy it for life.

I've tried Lemmy a bit last night. I know Lemmy threads can be searched and browsed here and I'm not sure it matter, but if it does I hope it's Kbin that wins the mass adoption war. I'm finding the Kbin UI experience more enjoyable. I also appreciate the way it combines a microblog tweet like feature with reddit type usage into the same platform.
I'm searching up my interests and finding magazines for those interests, but there is absolutely no content in a vast majority of them. If the curious Reddit users coming here don't find content when they search up their interests they won't stay long and this site will fail.
The people that create Magazines should also propagate content into them. If they are not passionate about the subject enough to propagate even a few starter pieces of content I wonder why they started the magazine in the first place. Do they just want to be the top mod?
This site is filled with people that are just mad at Reddit, but that anger at Reddit isn't what will cause this site to grow and become a thriving environment. This site needs content.
I've not seen this mentioned anywhere. Might be a warning for some. Favorite/Reduces voting records on this platform are public. This platform requires an email address, at least it did for me. Can't make a throwaway account as easily here to my knowledge.
Overtime voting records contain a lot of info about a person. If for some reason the two accounts are connected a lot can be learned about a user using this platform. Might be a good idea to use your alt/secret email address if that is a concern.
I see some people using their real names or enough clues that their real identiy can be found out.. I hope they realize how transparent this platform is.
I'm imaging some will come here unaware of that fact, think they are just lurking, but still voting never the less. The voting gives info about what they were looking at and their opinion about what they were looking at. No comment is necessary.
Maybe they secretly looked at porn on Reddit an upvoted what they liked. secretly had a history of voting on gore/death subs, . . whatever it was, Reddit allowed that info to be kept between Reddit and the user.
Here that info is a public record. Bots will eventually be used to gobble that info up.
I'm also starting to wonder about the people and servers that are running and maintaining the instances. Have they been vetted? Are we just going on blind faith that they are keeping the user email data secure?
A ton of moderators have been making changes to their subreddits' rules (e.g., only allowing certain posts, going NSFW, loosening rules a ton) to protest without getting kicked out. Do you think this strategy of turning a subreddit into shitposts is effective or not?...
Idk, but I can't imagine it being very effective. I don't think most reddit users actually go into subreddits directly. I think most people engage on reddit through their front page and multireddits. When a sub puts garbage up it will just be removed from their multi reddit list or front page. Once the removal is done the content in the protest sub won't be missed or seen.
Is a user's upvote/downvote history a public or private record on Kbin?
Edit: Favorite and Reduce votes are public on this platform. Every comment and post voting record is public. A bot could crawl through and figure it out for every account. If for some reason you have your account linked to your email and that the two are connected and found out someone could learn a lot about you.
Like many other subreddits, r/Finland is allowing its users to vote for whether or not they should a) reopen as normal, b) remain closed, or c) remain in protest mode....
I have no problem with this. I'm upset with r/chicago mod team for not having opened back up yet. Protest or not, it is an important service to the people that live in Chicago. The mods shouldn't be allowed to take it away just because they don't like Reddit. If they don't like reddit's admins or policies they should remove themselves from the mod team.
If they do come it will be out of curiosity. If the communities are not built and active they won't stay. So far the only active communities I've seen are the Fuck Reddit communities. The vast majority isn't interested in that.
Hey, I hope it's ok to post something like this here. I just wanted to say thanks for the people here^^ A long time ago I joined Reddit and tried to post, comment and communicate about stuff I liked. Only now I noticed how much I became a lurker over the time because of the negativity at Reddit. Snappy comments, no real feedback...
For me it's the anonymity that Reddit and this site provide that allows the fear-free freedom of expression. If I had to use my real name I wouldn't post anything ever about anything regardless to whether I agreed with what I wrote or not.
This site isn't completely positive to everything. My pro-Reddit-admin-action comments seem to be getting lots of hate here.
With spez ascending the last few remaining levels of becoming an absolute wanker, it's about time I got more active and I have been wondering how should I be using Lemmy efficiently? Like many I migrated from Reddit and I was primarly using Apollo to browse through my subscribed subreddits....
I haven't signed up for Lemmy. Between the Lemmy and Kbin I like this Kbin a heck of lot more and decided to sign up here.
I haven't abandoned Reddit and I have no plans on doing so. I'll probably be on both platforms if this one takes off or until Reddit becomes something like a Myspace. For now I'm just exploring here.
I can't be on several platforms? Out of curiosity I joined other potential reddit alternatives in the past even though I had no plans on leaving Reddit. Same situation here.
