Edit: obligatory explanation (thanks mods for squaring me away)...

What you see via the UI isn't "all that exists". Unlike Reddit, where everything is a black box, there are a lot more eyeballs who can see "under the hood". Any instance admin, proper or rogue, gets a ton of information that users won't normally see. The attached example demonstrates that while users will only see upvote/downvote tallies, admins can see who actually performed those actions.

Edit: To clarify, not just YOUR instance admin gets this info. This is ANY instance admin across the Fediverse.

Seems to be Ernest's attitude about that sort of thing, he doesn't like to hide things from the average user that someone more technically inclined would still be able to access

And I like it. It’s pretty earnest :)

Yeah I think it's great! I was on kbin originally but I'm a sucker for a nice app UI. I'll definitely be using it more once the apps are here.

I also can't find my lemm.ee community through kbin and I think it's some kind of federation issue, I'm sure it will get fixed.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 1 year ago

Kbin and Lemmy are having huge federation issues at the moment, with stuff from Lemmy commonly having a multiple hour delay before showing on Kbin and sometimes it doesn't show up at all. It might be a bug so we'll see how it works when the next Lemmy version comes out.

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago

Let's be fair, lemmy instances are having the same issues federating, especially getting posts from the big instances. I presume it's a server load thing.

This is what I was thinking of! I'm still learning how to find things on the fediverse, did you use one of the search engines?

[-] Teppic@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

If you figure out a good way let me know! I knew I'd seen this post but to find it again ... well, I used Google to find a discussion on codeburg, and that had a link back to kbin!

[-] its_y@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Excuse my ignorance, still super new to Lemmy. What's kbin?

[-] PixelPassport@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 1 year ago

Kbin is another open source link aggregation program with a different developer that uses the same protocol as Lemmy (ActivityPub), so kbin and Lemmy instances can communicate with each other. If you see anyone with "@kbin.social" after their name then that's where they're from. You can check it out yourself here as well kbin.social
