The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.
We're all kinda getting the hang of things, bud. No sweat. Check the top bar, just to the right of the kbin logo, it should read: /m/chat@beehaw.org. Cheers!
I am looking for a simple card game that would be fun for the elderly and at the same time would break the monotony of traditional card games, that they are currently playing. Preferably something internationally popular so it is easy to buy in the EU.
Second Love Letter. You can learn to play in 10 min, a game is over in 20 min, but you'll play for hours. By name, it doesn't grab you (me, anyway,) but I genuinely don't know anyone that doesn't like it. Also, Sheriff of Nottingham
Both of these break the traditional mold, are crazy simple to learn and are way more fun than they have any right to be.
When I visit kbin.social, I see new posts regularly. On other servers posts stay on the frontpage for multiple days. This is also true if I switch their sorting to "hot". So that is probably not the difference....
This is how the Fediverse works, as I understand it:
Each platform might function differently and have different userbases, but if platform A and platform B are federated (and I believe these can be one-way doors,) they can interact with each other. Even within different instances of the same platform, i.e. Lemmy.world/Lemmy.ml, should you choose to Un(de?)federate with another instance, their content may be viewable, but not interactable from yours.
Fediverse platforms that don't even have the same functionality may interconnect. Mastodon is more like a BirdSite clone but can interact with Federated /r/ clones.
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'm still learning. Just trying to help where I can.
I tend to be pretty privacy-conscious and one of the reasons I haven't up/downvoted much is that here on kbin.social, at least, your votes are very transparent. If you go to the 'more' option under any post and click on 'activity' you can view exactly how each user interacted with that post. The only time I'll currently interact with a post is to save it to my profile (or comment like this w/o identifying information.) I think all of this might be a major hurdle to some people.
Just curious... we had a lot of bots on reddit which could do some useful things, but obviously Kbin is a lot smaller and I don't wanna spam the API too much....
I agree that having the ability to add bots will bring some less than good ones, but there are plenty of functionally useful bots that I will likely miss if they don't come about. remindme comes to mind.
I don't think it will be a giant unmitigated disaster, though. If the userbase is spread among the different instances there likely won't be much more duplication than there were on the /r/. Especially if all users are seeing what we see. There aren't more users, they're just spread among the instances. Unless the same people are posting the same content multiple times, it will likely all average out to roughly what we're used to.
Currently, each thread has the "Activity" link that shows publicly everyone that upvoted/favorite a thread. This is counter norm to many coming from Reddit and newer folks that expected otherwise. I think hiding the list should be high priority in next feature update(removal?) to encourage frictionless upvoting behavior....
I don't know. If they can make my subs and email private, I don't see why votes can't be? I'm not all that savvy, but it seems like it should be doable, no?
Defederating was the right call. The_Donald is being hosted on sh.itjust.works. (i.imgur.com)

Why does the frontpage of kbin.social work so much better than any other server?

Are upvotes and downvotes transparent in the fediverse?
Basically title - will anyone be able to see what I up- and downvoted?
OC What do you people think the next step after internet could be?
Before internet we had the telephone to communicate. What do you people think could be the next step of that?
Am I allowed to create a bot for Kbin?

Working Together to Improve /Kbin's Ease of Use for New Users
Dear not-so-techy KBeans ;)...
Recommend to have the "Upvote" or Favorites list be hidden.
Currently, each thread has the "Activity" link that shows publicly everyone that upvoted/favorite a thread. This is counter norm to many coming from Reddit and newer folks that expected otherwise. I think hiding the list should be high priority in next feature update(removal?) to encourage frictionless upvoting behavior....
