Brand new here. Been kinda "poking around" the past couple weeks but it's looking more and more like a viable alternative to Reddit. Just wondering if there's a way to display only the magazines I'm subscribed to?

BrerChicken,

If you want to see the full list of which magazines your subscribed to, it's in your profile. If you're in the website you click/tap n your username and then choose profiles. Then you have to use the arrows to see more options at the top. If you keep hitting the arrow you'll eventually get to "subscribed." I think that's what you're looking for.

You can only have one food group for the rest of your life, where does your loyalty stand?

What group is cheese in? That one.

I may not last long but I'll die doing what I loved.

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.

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

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.

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 😆

RestrictedAccount,

Those of you among us who remember that Don Imus used to be a thing, why was he so influential and how did he slip completely from memory?

agentshags,
@agentshags@sh.itjust.works avatar

Was he the one that said nappy

RestrictedAccount,

@Spacebar I had forgotten about that.

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@kbin.social

SustainedChaos,

How do you get an avatar on kbin.social?

Fiivemacs,

‘wait, Reddit has avatars?’ - said swathes of users who discovered Reddit added useless features to their site making reddit.com look like absolute shit compared to old.reddit

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

@SustainedChaos You go to profile dropdown menu-> Settings -> profile -> (scrolldown to) avatar. Select a file and press Save.

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!

s6original,
@s6original@lemmy.world avatar

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!

@Elegast

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.

clustarz,

What is your favorite life hack that has saved you money, time, or made your day-to-day activities easier?

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

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 😊

@drifty@kbin.social avatar

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

@Chaser why a lawyer?

Chaser,

To protect me going forward. Also would help in getting a trustworthy accountant
