Is Kbin dying? I wanted to address the deleted thread and provide some insight into the current situation.
  • @ernest I think lack of communication is a problem, but it's not end of the world. Some people gone Kbin and understand potential Kbin has, so don't throw line like you step down due delays. When reddit blackout happened some people noted that "Reddit founders" only noted 2 people... when years ago there was 3 founders. One was booted and now is buried as if he never was there. I would rather have you with your life problems than someone who have no such problems... Thank you for your hard work!

  • How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy?
  • Not for Lemmy precisely, but I said f it and never gone back(excluding random click). Trying to help AK community I was involved past few years. Moderating a bit on kbin AK magazine, but mostly either spend time on Discord where mix of reddit and non reddit sitting. Mastodon for more serious information and interaction with Lemmy, while Misskey for Arknights fanart/art with hopes that some federates to Kbin magazine(lately # not picking up sadly). Waiting for better mod tools, federation fixes.

  • New From Reddit
  • @KonalaKoala Hello there, enjoy exploring Lemmy. Without complicating too much when people talk about federation/fediverse, here https://fedidb.org/ which lists services that uses same protocol aka fediverse. So if you don't find niche on your instance, it might be somewhere on other lemmy instance, kbin instance or somewhere on Microblogs/blogs in related #koalas #koala . If you find people with same interests you can create community yourself. It's wild,prototype,unexplored west here. GL.

  • I Tried Reddit Again and it Sucks Now
  • Yeah, like many things were mitigated if you used reddit only on mobile with good app, I even don't remember when I sit behind PC to browse reddit. I do know about crypto vault on official reddit app, that later learned only on crypto subbredits only you can earn crypto.I showed some cat pics from subreddit on official app and scrolling from vid to vid...And there were weird jumps from cat doing funny things only to other subreddit. So ads redirect from one sub to other when watching full screen

  • [Kinohara] Too many wives
  • @Xperr7 after trial Proviso said this to Doctor "Now you see Doctor, if only you had capable legal defence on your team, but you thought you can strike with the judge"

  • What do you think some of the fediverse's primary stumbling blocks are?
  • @Blaze @ALostInquirer Yeah documentation is reaaaaaallyyyy lacking. Mastodon you kinda understand if you look enough, but Misskey .... If you don't use feature you won't find any information unless someone wrote a guide which is problem in it self as guides most likely are notes so it won't be easy to find one. Add to that error messages that don't explain problem, like why people can't make response to Kbin thread after some time(some did, some get error) https://imgur.com/a/3wjEcCb

  • What is your favorite insult in your native language that doesn't exist or cant be directly translated in English?
  • It's not an insult but a way to show frustration without hurling insults.
    So here in Russian like
    ЁКЛМНЭ
    ЁПРСТ
    Ёшкин кот
    Блин (pancake) to not use Блядь (whore)
    Мать твою за ногу
    Пиздец
    Ппц
    hmm that's all that comes to mind unless going into really insulting words.
    In romanian I know only "Du-te in pula" "Du-te in pula mea" which is Get Fucked, fuck off.

  • Ukraine’s sluggish counter-offensive is souring the public mood. The government is worried.
  • @Krause Sure sure pick one point of all interconected ones. I also remember this news that would celebrate Russia victory https://web.archive.org/web/20220226051154/https://ria.ru/20220226/rossiya-1775162336.html so it's not an Belarus + Russian as you claim. Heck there is this clown of the show https://v.redd.it/4cyvhkmvcjk81 digging old news is fun! But just right now I saw these news https://moldovamatters.substack.com/p/lukashenko-predicts-an-invasion-of . But suuuure it's all Ukraine fault, because NAZI! Well good luck with this clown!

  • Ukraine’s sluggish counter-offensive is souring the public mood. The government is worried.
  • @Krause @dandi8 https://news.yahoo.com/russia-belarus-strategy-document-230035184.html Sure sure also say that this fake and this is fake https://news.yahoo.com/belarusian-president-displays-map-suggesting-222320415.html . Btw if you would, can you check on USSR history textbook of I don't know 1990 and compare it to modern Russian History books? I think you might see a pattern there, I won't point out which, but there is tendency in Russia to censorship. Btw your facts might hold up year ago, you know why it no longer facts? Because https://kbin.social/m/Ukraine_UA/t/314777 like how many times Russia can lie? Always

  • X glitch wipes out most pictures and links tweeted before December 2014
  • @MicroWave Great, it keeps getting etter and better.

  • Old School RuneScape's poll for new sailing skill
  • @nanoUFO Hmm hope it passes, didn't play recently but I wouldn't mind sailing.

  • Which is the main difference between Mastodon and Firefish
  • @Meowmoth I would say feature bloat. If you need social network message service and want fast loads and less mobile traffic/device resources usage then Mastodon is a king with very tried and true nature. Firefish is fork of Misskey so I can tell a bit as Misskey user. If you want everything in one social service then Misskey/Firefish is the one. Build-in rss reader, memos, gallery, pages, channel for chat like experience, plugins, minigames, likes=emoji that convey message, so... Feature bloat.

  • Is there a way to filter posts that are only in your language?
  • @TORFdot0 edit profile>preferences>other>filter language and checkmark what language you want. I think it should work regardless of app, but I might be wrong as I use chrome into webapp on my android.

  • Reddit removes my post about how Reddit doesn't accept my GDPR request
  • @JackGreenEarth Yeah, I saw message like on day 20 and they have memo that "download link works 7 days, please reply if you can't download" well I replied once, twice, trice and send email to support. Only after I send email I got working link. So don't bother with Reddit, direct email will go through other channels. And you are forced to login on reddit to download.

  • Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
  • @BuckRowdy https://i.imgur.com/SB2W3gI.png
    The only real reddit drama that I personally was invested was r/animemes with Trap ban, so it's easy to ignore chat, follows, cryptocurency, Reddit becoming close sourced, Avatars (I set up one and change it 1 time when free was given and like ehh it's gamer thingy lookalike will use it).
    I got my GPDR or how it called request, but didn't login till day 20 and you have 7 days to download and 30 to request link... well I requested link 3 times and still error.

  • The Weird, Fragmented World of Social Media After Twitter
  • @noodlejetski @qooqie https://erinkissane.com/mastodon-is-easy-and-fun-except-when-it-isnt I read article and can say I understand many problems listed there. If you join Biggest instance then sure you won't encounter some of the listed problems, but federation isn't about joining biggest. Not intuitive UI also big factor, why greeting message don't tell Use #Hello #Привет or other language for first message? People don't understand/know about search being specific to # add to that bombardment with tips... Fediverse is bad for newcomer.

  • [The Verge] Reddit is testing “official” labels for profiles and making parts of its app compatible with screen readers
  • @orcrist @lvxferre There is narrowly targeted forums, case in point Totalbiscuits dedicated one. Problem lies with first rest in peace a good videogame critic. Second same as paid checkmark on Twitter. Why would you pay for service you can't trust? There is subset of people who don't make research and pay for security, but it's mentality of people who pay for confidence. Those same people who will leave Twitter and go Misskey. They will pay to support Misskey rather than to pay for a checkmark.

  • Is there a reference page for the interoperability between Fediverse services?
  • @zephyr I wrote my observations https://hub.hubzilla.de/wiki/kotking/Fediverse/Home . It's a really Work in progress and raw, but I mentioned and credited source some questions you have. Still think how to fill Kbin section and as I use Misskey also will be written about... But it's so much feature bloat that I would need wiki for wiki... Half joking.

  • Kotking Kotking @mastodon.social

    Hello there! You've come across me so I will tell my hobbies! I enjoy watching anime https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Kotking?status=1 and rarely manga. I love spending time on games https://steamcommunity.com/id/166399/ and watching/recording https://youtube.com/@kotking . But that aside, my main driving force are cats and catgirls/Nekogirls. Due live being fair, I right now only play #arknights and waiting on getting proper PC setup( it will be a long wait).Good at Eng/Rus. #fedi22
