Elegast,

Is there a kbin Android app yet? I know the web app works, which is what I'm using now, but would really like a native app. I'm assuming these are being worked on and just need time to bake!

They are being worked on but in the meantime there are a bunch of Lemmy apps you can install and use now.

I have accounts on both kbin and Lemmy but Lemmy is where I spend my time because of the availability of apps. I prefer an app.

Jcb2016,

@s6original There are so many lemmy apps. Why not kbin. if i could program i would have been had an alpha kbin out already!

wafer,

How do I block top level domains on kbin? For example, I only speak English so I would like to block *.de.

Adding /d/domain-name-goes-here to kbin's normal web address will take you to that instance's "homepage" and you can block it there. For example, https://kbin.social/d/feddit.de

Keep in mind, this will only block posts coming from that instance, so you'll still be seeing comments from those users elsewhere, but it should take care of a good deal of it on your feed if you don't mind losing out on the three or four communities there that aren't in german

wafer,

Thanks for the help! I know how to block an instant but I'm looking to block every instance in the same top level domain, so anything ending in ".de" so that I don't have to manually block several instances. If it's not possible yet that's fair, I know Ernest has a shit ton on his plate.

Hot sleepers, have you had any real world success with cooling blankets that give you that good weighted-down feeling but don’t reduce you to a sweaty blob by morning?

Cherbal,

why do threads that reference articles on outside sites redirect to kbin and not the outside site? (for example, worldnews often shows the external news site, but clicking the link takes you to a kbin.social post showing all the threads referencing that news site, not the actual site and story itself)

God-Is-Love,

Thank you!! I thought I'd clicked everywhere but I'll give this a try!

Cherbal,

@Pamasich I knew it had to be something dumb, thanks for the help!

God-Is-Love,

Is it possible to stop the screen from rotating on the Kbin app when my phone rotates? I have my phone settings so it shouldn't rotate from vertical to horizontal but for some reason only the app does it, anyone know if this can be turned off?

God-Is-Love,

Weird, I'm pretty sure I have the latest version! I'll keep checking for updates though!

God-Is-Love,

I super appreciate your comment but I'm afraid I'm not technologically proficient enough to understand it 😆

What are Dynamic Lists?

@TabbyCat@kbin.social avatar

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

@fubo I mean for Kbin

Gordito,

How can I make the Home page of the app default to my subscribed magazines? I changed it in the settings but it keeps defaulting to "all"

rackmountrambo,

Why is my Facebook so full of right wing baloney?

Literally every other suggested post is about anti-trans stuff or gun rights. Is it because I commented once in a thread about how Trudeau isn't a fascist?

MonsieurHedge,
@MonsieurHedge@kbin.social avatar

@rackmountrambo Facebook (and Twitter, for that matter) are formulated to push extreme-right-wing views because those get the most engagement, either from disgust or zealous approval.

People who like fascism also like clicking suspicious ads for penis enlargement pills and barely-legal teens in their area, which makes Facebook and Twitter more money. It's a consequence of advertisers gaining control of all media.

bluGill,

@rackmountrambo they are also seeing the same type of garbage from the extreme left wing.

It is what they want, the algorithm gives you more of what you interact with, and so people interacting with the extremeists see more of it.

Why is my phone screen's orientation failing to stay locked and how do I fix it?

I have a Samsung Galaxy A71 5G. This usually only happens a few times a week, but my phone seems to be very confused by kbin. I have to hold it vertically or it will switch to landscape orientation every single time. It's annoying. Any ideas?

Thank you all in advance!

AnonymousLlama,
@AnonymousLlama@kbin.social avatar

@HotDogFingies on kbin specifically (if you're using the progressive web app PWA) it currently bypasses your phones landscape or portrait lock. Even on my phone with Android 13, if I've switched off auto rotation and rotate the site it still rotates

That's apparently a bug that's going to be fixed at some point.

HotDogFingies,
@HotDogFingies@kbin.social avatar

@AnonymousLlama Thank you so much. That's extremely helpful.

Hey is there any third-party clients for iOS or web apps for Kbin?

Nepenthe,
@Nepenthe@kbin.social avatar

There's one in development for kbin that's intended to work for both iOS and android. It's honestly looking pretty good. Right now, it's still in private beta, scheduled to go public mid/late July, but you could always see if there's still room on the pinned sign up form. I'm sure the dev would love as many testers as she can get

If you're on kbin and getting an invalid csrf error, can't log in; use your email address instead of your username and you might be able to get in.

If not, try another browser.
