What are some missing features that you'd consider crucial to the success of kbin?

Cap,
@Cap@kbin.social avatar

I don't know about crucial, and I'm not sure if it exists already and I just can't find it, but I'd love to be able to preview a comment or post before submitting it.

Something similar to the multireddit function that reddit has where you can use a + sign in the URL to consolidate multiple subreddits in one page? I don't know how easy this would be but if you could do that across multiple instances you could have askkbin+asklemmy@lemmy.ml+asklemmy@lemmy.world (etc) and view all the different questions at once.

xc2215x,

What do you all think about the culinary industry ?

Eivaliel,

Is there a place to file a bug report or is there a list of known issues with kbin?

For instance on my home page the "random posts" shows posts from magazines that I have blocked. To test this I blocked @random because there's always a post from there to see for me, and sure enough it still shows up.

Quereller,
Eivaliel,

Thank you!

nevernevermore,

I'm seeing a lot of chat about the migration of "reddit brand" concepts like AMA and IAmA. We should probably come up with alternatives? Who's got some suggestions?

Sylveon-Z,
@Sylveon-Z@kbin.social avatar

I've seen AMA threads on 4chan, I don't think it's something reddit-exclusive anymore. It's just a simple acronym for "Ask Me Anything" for online interviews.

Let’s pretend each country in the world is a guest at a party. What are they doing at the party?

Cha0zz,

Belgium spends most of the party standing in the corner talking to himself. Arguing which cocktail to drink, only to settle on water near the end of the party.

Alternatively, they provide the beer.

Thetrademarq,

It’s USA’s party and he’s trying to be the center of attention as usual. He acts like he’s not friends with Mexico but keeps buying drugs from him. Canada, USA’s nicer little brother is talking to all the other countries. Part of Canada is trans and wants to be like France. France is a little stuck up, but not that much. She only talks to USA about niche music genres and movies. Otherwise she doesn’t really like USA. England is drunk and trying to fuck all of his exes. Germany brought some really good beer and is a really nice guy, but no one forgets that he used to be an asswipe. Italy is refined but also a little unorganized. He is well dressed and good looking. On and off relationship with France. Thailand is a huge slut. Congolese guys are super well dressed. Spain isn’t talking to the other Spanish speaking guys except Argentina. Argentina only likes Spain because he’s cool with Italy. Ireland keeps trying to fight England, but otherwise is cool with everyone at the party. Ireland is very well liked but takes a swing a England whenever he can. Scotland is keeping the two separated but agrees that Ireland has a point. Russia is an asshole who will try to finger your asshole, but lies to you about it. Brazil is a little bit dangerous, but also sexy as hell. Her and Colombia won’t stop dancing. Somehow Colombia manages to sell drugs to Mexico while she’s dancing. Japan is cute, weird, and good at everything. Very nice person. Everyone has forgotten how they used to be an asswipe. Australia really likes bad haircuts. Also trying to fuck all of Englands exes. New Zealand is a wearing the same clothes as Australia, but maintains that it’s not Australia. Greece shouts a lot. Anything that you talk about they claim to have invented it. They’re not always wrong.

HomerAtTheBat,

Can I subscribe to Lemmy communities from kbin? If so, how?

riktor,
@riktor@kbin.social avatar

@HomerAtTheBat search for the community in the Magazines area of kbin and it will return you results from kbin and other instances (lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, etc.) magazines is what kbin calls communities.

Why am I not receiving any notifications?

I have active threads with replies here on kbin, but I'm not getting any notifications for them in the notifications tab. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Not sure what to do....

Livornese,
@Livornese@kbin.social avatar

Have you checked whether you have notifications enabled in the settings? I thought I had the same problem until I checked there and noticed that they were all turned off by default.

hemmes,
@hemmes@kbin.social avatar

What are Dynamic Lists?

TabbyCat,
@TabbyCat@kbin.social avatar

@hemmes yeah I'm wondering the same thing too. Saw it in the kbin settings but I have no idea.

hemmes,
@hemmes@kbin.social avatar

@fubo I mean for Kbin

NotBadAndYou,

How do I send a private message to another fediverse user from kbin? I thought maybe if I viewed their profile I'd have the option, but nothing obvious stood out.

NotBadAndYou,

Wait, I found it - Once you click on the user there's a Send Message icon in the right-hand panel:

Books,
@Books@kbin.social avatar

Can I block/unsub certain magainzes from other fedis? For example I am getting a lot of .de content, and I can't read the language, and would rather not see it.

LoFi-Enchilada,
@LoFi-Enchilada@kbin.social avatar

@Books

Click on the community that you want to hide and on its sidebar you should see a 🚫 symbol, right next to the "Subscribe" button. Once you turn it to red, you will stop seeing content from that community in m/all

Do Moscow Mules taste different if they are served in a pure copper mug or a copper mug with a stainless steel lining?

Cap,
@Cap@kbin.social avatar

Did a little digging and saw this:

Some experts say that the mug enhances the individual flavors of the ginger beer, vodka, and lime. The copper begins to oxidize when the vodka touches the walls of the mug, they say, which slightly boosts the aroma and enhances the taste of the vodka.

Knowing me, I'd never be able to tell the difference. As long as there is a strong kick to my Mule I'm a happy Muleteer.

Hazen357,

How do I search for certain words or phrase in a specific magazine?

@MoogleMaestro@kbin.social avatar

Is there a way to collapse a comment in a thread's comment section?

I don't know if there's something I'm missing or not, but it seems like I can't collapse a comment in the comment section of a post. This is kind of a big issue for me as I like to collapse comments I've read in order to keep track of comments, especially as I work my way down a comment tree.

ramboteng,

As a Kbin user, whenever I click on a lemmy link it takes me to their website which would then not allow me to post or subscribe to the magazine/community/whatever. Is there a way to click on other instances' links and STAY in kbin so that I can interact with them?

Why can't I add a title to this post?

Jcb2016,

@ramboteng Nope. thats the whole thing about the fediverse is to be able to communicate with anyone with whatever account. each instance has its own tools and homepage for that instance. if you go to another instance you will see there interface, you can comment, reply, create a post and that's about it. or you can just create an account on whatever instnace and have everything you want. I have one on lemmy and kbin but use kbin more because i like the interface more then lemmy!

ramboteng,

@Alphabetasoup I just realized the difference between an article and a post. I thought I was making an "article" when i was submitting a "post".

These might be kind of lame or obvious

  • Looking for open source software. I'd rather use Antenna Pod instead of Spotify for podcasts instead of paying for an app or subscription that may not be reliable.
  • Drinking water when tired. It kept my hands busy and helped me cut back on smoking.
  • Learning to solder helped me buy less replacement electronics.
writerlygal,

Creating a morning routine. It’s so beneficial to just do necessary things on autopilot, even when half asleep 😊

xc2215x,

What part of Kbin do you like the most ?

kreynen,
@kreynen@kbin.social avatar

@xc2215x the irony that some the improvements made to modernize the version of PHP it runs on were contributed by Facebook and the fact that it's Twig template files can be modified by anyone familiar with HTML and CSS. You don't need to know PHP to contribute improvements.

Getting error message while trying to create a magazine? Any ideas why? Or where I could get a step-by-step tutorial?

admin,
@admin@kbin.social avatar

@barnyard_noise I'll be releasing a full guide on creating and moderating your magazine soon. Be sure to look for it on /m/kbinMeta and /m/ModHelp.

What app do you use for /kbin browsing?

Currently using a webapp from the kbin.social website saved to my Home Screen on iOS. It works pretty great actually, but it’s got some quirks. Mainly, it’s not really tuned for the phone screen, not well enough at least. It also lacks niceties like easily previewing image and video posts, as well as saving them. Coming from Apollo, saving media to my phone in a specific folder is sorely missed.

Suggestions?

curlygirl,

I could be wrong but I don't think there is an app for kbin yet, but there is one in development.

Jcb2016,

@astrsk Everyone using Kbin on there phone is using the website or Web app. It's got it's issues but it works.

markisus,

What is the meaning of so many posts referencing “Rule”? Like it will be a meme post but one of the words is replaced with the word “Rule”

borkcorkedforks,

@markisus The magazine or community is just about posting random things. The only rule is that you're supposed to post before you leave. So "rule"

What video game is an absolute 100/100 in your opinion?

Nepenthe,
@Nepenthe@kbin.social avatar

Journey. Short enough to complete in a sitting. Original creature designs and beyond gorgeous music. Yes enemies but also yes immortality, which sounds strange but turned out to be balanced enough that it's neither too boring nor too stressful.

No dialogue. No explanation except for whatever hieroglyphs you stumble across out in the middle of the desert, all of which are things a player could easily miss if they're not focused on exploring. Still sobbed three separate times. Everyone I've persuaded to give it a try has agreed with me, including the person that initially made fun of me. That one apologized.

Discovering features in kbin -- can't find "approve follow request".

I can't follow my account here from my Mastodon account, but I found that I can search for famous accounts like @Gargron but not my own on scholar.social doesn't show up in search. Is this the quirk with instances not supporting something? I remember seeing it but am not finding where the explanation on what to do is.

Who is a real life badass?

PrinceHabib72,

He'd been in and out of the legal system for violence both before and after the Murphy trial. As for where he is now, I have no clue.

@PrinceHabib72 Damn, Audie Murphy was some serious badass

Why does the Test version app button on the kbin.pub website not have a download? I'm desperately dying to use kbin outside of a browser on mobile

drifty,
@drifty@kbin.social avatar

@SpacemanSpiff Oh the PWA works well on Android, but the kbin mobile experience itself is just not it for me. I need an app that works on API and is good looking, because dear god kbin is well... not the best as a PWA for mobile.

drifty,
@drifty@kbin.social avatar

@envis10n Ah damn. Can't wait for it to be released
