So I created a magazine (which is similar to a subreddit, correct?) - what now? How do I even find my own? They don't show anywhere in my profile nor do I see any moderator tools, etc.
@acunasdaddy you can find magazines by searching from https://kbin.social/magazines. The Articles posted to the magazines you subscribe to show up in your feed. Microblogs are just aggregate content from the Fediverse. The moderation tools are limited, but what exists can be found by clicking the Magazine Panel button.
All of Kbin is very much a work in progress. A lot of things work as expected. Some don't. Be patient and pay it forward by helping others figure this out when you can.
I'm not familiar with Kbin much but just had a look at your profile from a not-logged-in person's pov. In the right hand sidebar are some stats about you including one that just says "moderated" with a 3 next to it. The 3 is a clickable link that seems to take me to a list of your created magazines.
Not sure if there's a simpler way to get to it when you're actually logged into Kbin though.
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?
@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.
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
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.
Anyone know how to see an instances list on Kbin? On any Lemmy instance, you can find a link at the bottom of the page that shows you who they're federated with and who they've defederated from. I can't find one here on Kbin.social. I only see the mod log.
@DeadwingSoda Weird, if I open kbin.social in Safari, I have the back button, but if I share the site to my home screen, when I launch from the icon, there’s no bottom buttons. 🤔
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?
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.
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
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!
How do I do "front pages" in kbin?
Where do I go to only see posts from magazines I'm subscribed to?
Where do I go to only see microblog posts from users that I follow?
How do I hide (blacklist) certain magazines from showing up on All?
I love to browse All to find new popular magazines every day. However, I can't speak German and a significant portion of my All page is in German.
Is there any way to keep browsing All but filter out specific magazines of my choosing? Or even better, is there a language selection I can set somewhere?
If you go to the magazine’s sidebar there’s a block button. On kbin and the lemmy web browser it’s by the subscribe button on the sidebar, on Memmy you have to hit the 3 dots on the top right of the magazine’s feed page. On Mlem…. I haven’t figured it out yet.
Poor kid earned one, worthy or not, as a Father’s Day gift to his dad. Ultimate irony. Only person on board for whom I could have shed a tear actually…
