Yes, a link is attached to the post. It seems that something has changed again. It's hard to keep up with Lemmy. I mainly use szmer.info, which has an older version.
Yes, this is a fantastic change. I have already implemented it on my end. I overlooked the linking part. You can see that the link is functional from the szmer.info. I can see where the problem lies now, and I will release a fix tomorrow. I will also encourage @harcesz to update. ;)
I caught that and fixed it today, so it should be okay now. That part was commented out in the code, and I can't remember why. Currently, I'm heavily focused on developing the core, but I'm trying to stay up to date with the latest updates. However, if you notice anything concerning, please let me know. The federation is a priority ;) @sexy_peach
Micrometeoroids in Saturn’s rings reveal that these dusty bands are no more than 400 million years old, making them significantly younger than the 4.5-billion-year-old gas giant.
@rysiek Thanks for calling me, I'm actually working on something similar here. Recently, I moved my stuff to https://codeberg.org/Kbin/, and for now, I'm keeping my GitHub account as a backup, but eventually, I'll probably deactivate it altogether. There's also an English-language instance of https://kbin.social/.
with the devs hopefully not having extremist stances either
@petrescatraian I highly appreciate the contribution that Lemmy devs bring to the development of the fediverse, but our worldviews definitely differ, that's for sure.
@tuckerm Indeed ;-) You can also post from Mastodon and other platforms to /kbin groups by mentioning it in the post, for example, "@science" or simply by using hashtags.

This is great. Hosting videos is still difficult, unfortunately. I think I'll eventually set up my own instance on a cheap VPS for my few videos that are important to me anyway.

For a while, I had some significant sleep problems. This movie helped me a lot - unfortunately, it's in Polish. The guy talks about the O'Neill Cylinder, discussing the basics of physics using 3D animation. It has a strangely calming effect on me, allowing me to stop thinking. I've watched it so many times that now, just hearing the music from the movie makes me start yawning ;-)
In these times, the benefits of writing unit tests are huge. I think that most of the recently started projects contain any unit tests. In enterprise applications with a lot of business logic, unit tests are the most important tests, because they are fast and can us instantly assure that our implementation is correct.
#Introduction Hi, I am Reuben Walker the founder of Symfony Station. I hope you enjoy the Symfony /kbin magazine. Learn more about me and Symfony at https://symfonystation.com.
@symfonystation It seems to me that the problem is on my side, as the enlarged original opens correctly. I will verify this when I have some free time.
@KashifShah I located an issue with the connection to some instances. I'm still working on fixing it, but it should be getting better by the end of the week :)
Groups work a bit differently here:
If you or someone else adds something to the magazine, it will be announced by the group and appear for other users.
If someone from the /kbin instance posts something to the magazine, it will be announced by the group and appear for other users.
If someone from another platform (e.g. Mastodon) posts something with the content "@magazine", it will be announced by the group and appear for other users.
If any of the above cases still doesn't work, it may be due to the error I mentioned above.
All other posts are assigned to the magazine based on tags. This is a unique feature of /kbin that gathers content within the magazine. They will not be automatically announced by the group to avoid spam attacks. In the ActivityPub stage (Roadmap), there will be a feature where each group owner can boost any content from the magazine as a group, if they find it interesting.
Is what I wrote clear or does it require additional explanation? :)
A certain stage of development has ended - a prototype was created that allowed me to verify whether such a form makes sense in the #fediverse. Until now, it was a project that I developed in my free time. Now, thanks to the great people from Nlnet, I will be able to devote much more time to it. This time, we have already...
This is difficult to describe in a few sentences, it's just a preliminary sketch of one of the sections. I need to gather my thoughts and I think once I finish it, everything will be much clearer.
I don't like microblogging. The only good application for it is for discovery without advanced search
I am currently working on a search engine. It will be more contextual, with the ability to choose the search area and filter search results. But I understand what you mean and I also understand why Lemmy maintainers made that design decision. However, I believe that cutting off such a large part of the fediverse is not the best.
I want /kbin to be simple and modular because I want to give people a choice in how it looks. Ultimately, it can be a page like it is now, or just a link/article aggregator, or bloggin platform, or an events browser, or streams browser. I want /kbin to be a window into the fediverse. The person who encounters the fediverse for the first time on /kbin will have the opportunity to explore the entire rich ecosystem, and over time may want to move on to more dedicated solutions, which is cool.
Combining a link aggregator and microblog is not my original idea. In addition to Reddit, I drew inspiration from two Polish social portals:
Strims - probably the closest to /kbin - collapsed several years ago due to the owner's misguided decisions. One of them was to delete the microblog section against the will of the community. Decentralization is supposed to solve this problem.
Wykop - one of the most popular social portals in Poland with a huge user base. Unfortunately, this year a new version was released that is slowly killing the service. In addition, it is sponsored by political parties, which especially now, just before the elections, makes it unusable for me. Despite having an account there for 15 years and a lot of sentiment, I have recently almost stopped visiting it. Decentralization is supposed to solve this problem.
We gotta give people an incentive to produce thoughtful content. I'd recommend integrating with LBRY
I'll take a closer look at LBRY because I've only heard a little bit about it so far. Personally, I'm a supporter of free and open knowledge on the internet for everyone. I'm also very cautious when it comes to cryptocurrencies. But I also don't like to limit myself, I like to draw inspiration from everywhere :) However, I'm keeping an eye on various projects, and lately I'm interested in #Nostr, where there are some super interesting things going on. Previously, Kbin had the option to receive Cardano donations for content, without external intermediaries, but it turned out to be too complicated and confusing for people at that time (https://streamable.com/hdr4f0).
Nevertheless, I know someone who understands this area much better than I do, and we've discussed it before @fervi.
Running a project alone isn't easy, and one of the things I would do differently is to send an email to Nlnet earlier. Maybe it's really worth presenting this vision now.
I want to focus on developing the core, as it will be the foundation for building other things, but I would be happy to help with integrations.
I assume it doesn't matter, it seems like a solo mission
I hope that I\ll only be alone for a while :) A large and important part of the Fediverse is based on PHP (Pixelfed, Friendica, WriteFreely, etc.). But you're right, it doesn't matter. If /kbin can help in any way or at least brighten the day of one person, I'm all in for it :) Currently, I want to keep an eye on the bigger picture and not get distracted from the main goal. This is additionally difficult for me because I'm not even a native speaker and I have to be very careful not to be misunderstood or inadvertently offend anyone in any way.
To be honest, it's my little obsession hahah. It started back then (http://web.archive.org/web/20180203151128/https://makigi.pl/), but I didn't have enough skills to develop such a big project. So I decided to quit my job and knock on the door of the first professional-looking IT company in the area. I asked for a free internship, I wanted to see how certain things are done and get answers to some of my questions. I met such cool people there that I stayed for a few years more than I planned ;p That led me here.
I'm an average developer, but believe me, I'm fricking stubborn.
I get your point of view :D But I still see it a bit differently. Maybe because from the beginning, I started consuming content from the fediverse my own way, without relying on any of the apps. And it was actually mainly Polish-language content, where it was a fresh and enjoyable experience. Even now, on the main instance, there are a lot of interesting discussions and content that I wouldn't want to miss. I think building small, local communities is incredibly important. And in such a magical place, it's good to have a little bit of independence ;)
It's true that there is a lot of content on the publicly available internet, and among all the noise, it's harder to catch the valuable content than ever before.
What you're talking about, as you've noticed, is an idea for a separate project. But you're absolutely right, there are also real-world problems and you need to have different options in reserve if you want to keep developing continuously. I'm taking note of all of this, but one thing I've learned is to bring things to the end and focus on the current goal right now.
