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.

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

@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.

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"

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 😊

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.

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

@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.

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

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

@Chaser why a lawyer?

Chaser,

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

markisus,

How do I join a magazine on kbin.social? Or does kbin not have such a concept?

Otome-chan,
@Otome-chan@kbin.social avatar

@markisus just tab "subscribe" in the sidebar.

markisus,

Oh I see it from desktop. On mobile I can't see it.

Hey Kbin, is it possible to unblur NSFW images?

I have "hide adult content" turned off in my profile settings but when i visit some NSFW magazine (e.g. lemmynsfw.com) it blurs some images until i hover over them

If you are looking for a place to discuss feature requests, I think Kbinmeta is the right magazine

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.

So... add new article is to make new threads. And create magazine is... a new sub?

Anyway, it will take a while to get used to all these things. Thanks for existing, still.

EDIT: Don't want to make another microblog, so an edit is it. Sometimes when I'm upvoting a comment, it will give me an error. It's not just once, but repeatedly. Anyone know why?

@GuyDudeman@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah. Kbin is different from Reddit/Lemmy in that it kind of tries to combine twitter/mastodon and Reddit.

Lemmy calls subs Communities. It calls posts posts.

New software is new, sadly. Growing pains over the last 2 weeks has been leading to random bugs and glitches. Should be resolved as they upgrade things, change coding, etc etc.

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.
