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:

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.

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.

@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

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.

@fubo I mean for Kbin

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".

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.

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?

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.

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

@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 😊

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@kbin.social avatar

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

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

@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,

@Otome@kbin.social
Oh I see it from desktop. On mobile I can't see it.
