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?
@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!
@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.
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.
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.
Will something be done about moderators owning 50+ magazines/communities and counting? Already seeing power mods migrate from Reddit trying to hoard as many communities as possible.
Do you think they are actively trying to become moderators of those communities or is there a chance they're trying to recreate the subreddits they're accustomed to?
@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.
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.
Is there a good way to promote a magazine on kbin to other places?
Hi all,
I opened a League of Legends magazine on kbin, but for such a popular game I'm having serious issues actually getting people in there. am I doing something wrong? I thought it naturally would fill up with users but it's not. I'm still very new to kbin, and I sincerely don't understand any of this stuff. Just trying to get more activity in magazines I'm interested in!
