@mojo Just keep telling people you don't know what IPFS is without coming outright and saying it. Lol.

"IpFs GeTs PaId In FiLe CoIn"

IPFS is a protocol, you nitwit. That's like saying "ActivityPub is gets paid in Filecoin" Makes no fucking sense. Build a Fediverse layer on IPFS, no crypto needed. FFS get educated before you start trying to talk to adults.

Jesus... just stop.

@mojo Tell me you don't know what IPFS without telling me you don't know what IPFS is, lol. What the fuck does IPFS have to do with crypto?

@ernest

Sorry to tag you, but I'm not really sure what's going on. Kbin federation from my node to kbin.social doesn't seem to be working, or if it does, it's very intermittent.

kbin.social to my node works most of the time, but also loses information but much less frequently.

Is there any reason why kbin.social isn't accepting incoming federation from my note (showeq.com) or why it's so severely delayed when it does?

@Kalcifer

The long term solution is something like IPFS object storage that's read only for everyone but the author instance. One copy of the data but all instances can read it and it's stored forever in a redundant medium with bitrot protection.

@ernest it started working a couple hours ago. No idea why . Thought maybe you knocked something loose

@ernest I restarted my instance and it seems to be receiving federated content from kbin.social, but any content I post isn't being received by kbin.social.

Thank you for the reply! I'm still not getting any federated content either direction with my node from KBin.social

I'm running a KBin node for the record, not Lemmy

Still working on it?

[–] HamSwagwich@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What do you mean "quickly?"

 

KBin isn't showing any of my federated content from my node after this update today. Is federation broken again? It was working great yesterday

[–] HamSwagwich@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

That's correct and that's the problem. If a given community server goes down, that community basically just becomes an archive. It really needs to be able to continue without the host instance, similar to how a mesh works. Each remaining server routes around the dead node.

There is also the problem of search engine indexing... If a given server goes down, that information is lost to the search engine, even though it's still on other nodes.

Which also leads to duplicate content problem for search engines, as ECU m each node of a given community contains the same information for a given post, making it crappy to index and search.

Indeed, and when you kiss someone you are making one big hole connected by two assholes.

The RCS issue hits the nail on the head I think. It's really the biggest stumbling block for everyone at this point.

[–] HamSwagwich@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Same. I don't see anything but one star reviews.

2.2M downloads and only 3.3 stars. You gotta be really shitty to have that low of a rating at that volume.

 

Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don't know...)

The upvote button doesn't seem to do much, but Boost accomplishes what Reddit's upvote did. So if you're looking to encourage a post, use the Boost link.

 

Like the title says, I'd like to know what's going on with KBin federation? Lemmy content is federating to pretty much all other Lemmy instances just fine, but anything on KBin is taking a very long time to show up on Lemmy, if it ever shows up at all.

On Lemmy.world, I am subscribed to a bunch of kbin.social subs that are in pending state for 2 days now... the few that have gone from pending to joined have zero content show up on Lemmy.

/m/anime_titties for example has many articles on here, but show none at all on Lemmy.world.

Can anyone explain the problem behind this and when there's an expected fix?

 

If I'm on a Lemmy instance, I can't find any Kbin.social magazines or users. Why is that?

For example, if I search for myself on lemmy.world, such as !hamswagwich@kbin.social, or @hamswagwich, or hamswagwich@kbin.social it's not found.

Same for Kbin.social magazines, for example, searching for !TeslaMotors@kbin.social brings up nothing. Same with other lemmy instances. Why is that?
