PSA: Upvote is not an upvote like you are used to (like Reddit) - "Boost" is the Reddit Upvote (kbin.social)
Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don't know...)...
/kbin project management costs, financing, future plans (kbin.social)
I wrote the first line of code for /kbin on January 14, 2021. Around this time, I started working remotely and decided that the time I used to spend commuting to the office would be devoted to /kbin. Throughout this entire period, /kbin has been a hobby project that I developed in my free time. It was also when Lemmy started...
KES 4.1.0: Improving the signal to noise ratio by blocking unsolicited ads (kbin.social)
The blurb below is excerpted verbatim from the release notes. For the full release notes, see here....
Are we cut off? (kbin.social)
I can only get my subscriptions and not the all feed. I feel like maybe I am only getting kbin content.
What's the plan for downvote federation? (kbin.social)
Right now, downvotes (reduces) don't federate to (and from?) Kbin instances. This lack of federation makes the downvote counter really inaccurate—a comment that looks like it's +10 might be -15 when you look at it from lemmy.world....
Feature comparison - kbin vs Lemmy (kbin.social)
There's a chance that I have forgotten something or missed something....
If you're encountering the Subscribed 404 error, this is a good time to revisit Collections (kbin.social)
Feeling thwarted by the 404, I suddenly remembered there are plenty of curated feeds over in Collections for us to browse. Have updated one of mine to reflect newer communities.
Which will melt more snow: 35 F and sunny or 45 F and cloudy? (kbin.social)
Related question: What cloudy temperature will melt as much as 35 F and sunny?
So blimey - what happened there? (kbin.social)
Kbin seemed tio take a nice long sleep there. I almost assumed it had fallen over for good. I Really hate the generic, undated 'over the next few days we are working on servers' mesesage.
How can I train my left hand to not be completely useless? (kbin.social)
I'd like to be able to do more with it, mostly just because it would be neat to do, but even the most basic tasks become huge efforts since its my non dominant hand. What can I do? Thanks :)
What's the quickest way to find a magazine/community you've subscribed to? (kbin.social)
I've been using kbin since the Reddit exodus and I still don't really know the path to finding my way into a specific community/magazine I've subscribed to. I usually search for the name using the search function, then hope I find a thread from there in the results where I can just click directly into it. Surely there must be a...
Just wanted a warning, Lemmy.World is perhaps worse than reddit at respecting their users - Reddit Migration - kbin.social (kbin.social)
Reminder that centralization is bad and anyone who thinks this arrangement where a big power player like this can control discourse and whether or not an instance basically dies likely has an affliction to where boots taste good.
Is the Kbin source outdated compared to kbin.social? (kbin.social)
I just realized that some features like "Collections" are not available in other Kbin instances nor in Mbin when in theory they all use 0.10.1....
Do you ever go back and reread your own posts and find yourself wondering how the hell you managed to say the words that you said? (kbin.social)
Like sometimes I'll make a post and I go back and I reread it and I'm like somebody way smarter than me wrote this, and sometimes I'll go back and reread it and wonder how the fuck was I so stupid as to write this?...
Lemmy.world has gone read only to us (kbin.social)
We'll still get their content but be unable to interact.
Start composing a reply to this thread. Did you notice you can change the size of the reply field by dragging the right bottom corner? (kbin.social)
I think that's cool. I have not discovered a limit to how large you can make the box.
Feddites who live in countries with elections, do you generally feel morally responsible for your government’s actions? Why/Whynot? (kbin.social)
Exaggerated and made up example of what I’m curious about:...
Haven't been on Kbin for about three weeks anything interesting happen while I was gone? (kbin.social)
I have to check on here more often.
Cross posting norms and etiquette? (kbin.social)
I still don’t really understand crossposting or the multiple link options on kbin. What should kbin users know about crossposting and linking?
Issue with sort by hot (kbin.social)
This has been an issue since the beginning of Kbin tmk, but when you make a post, it won't appear under sort by hot unless it has an upvote. This means that if someone forgets to upvote their own post, it just won't appear on the default sort. There are plenty of posts I've missed because of this....
difference between bank and credit Union? (kbin.social)
what I've found is just that bank is for profit, union isn't, and union can give better interest...
Blocked users who move instances don't stay blocked (kbin.social)
Posting to raise awareness of this behavior with kbin. Maybe it's something Ernest can address in the ActivityPub rewrite, maybe it's something that doesn't need to be (or can be) addressed at all....
Will there be a Kbin app for Windows PC or a 3rd Party Kbin app for Windows PC (kbin.social)
Reddit did have 3rd party Windows PC apps even tho it didn't have its own official app for Windows PC so i'm wondering if it will be the same for Kbin?
What do you like about kbin? (kbin.social)
What do you like about kbin compared to other instances?...
Could blocked magazines no longer appear in Random Post and Random Thread sidebars? (kbin.social)
A lot of the larger abandoned magazines are just spam pools now. I don't see their posts in my feed, but I don't like that the two sidesbars of random posts and threads are now just spam advertising sidebars. I triedblocking the magazines, but doesn't that prevent the posts from showing in those sidebars....
