It it like he can see us but we can’t see him?

Opposite way around. We can see him but he can't see us.

The reason you can't see him is because you're on Lemmy which will only display microblog posts if they're (1) a reply to a Lemmy post, (2) made from kbin/mbin, or (3) replied to by someone from kbin/mbin (not entirely sure about this one).

On the other hand, if people really wanted to contribute, there's plenty of open issues on Codeberg that are unadressed. I agree that it would be better to announce plans in advance rather than surprise drop them, but I doubt there would be more contributions from the community.

Twitter has taught me that nowadays people are too adaptable, 90% of people will stick with Reddit no matter what they do.

Depends on what the purpose of the button is.

A setting should show the current state, but an action (referring to the play button example) should show the state it'll transition to.

@ernest
I've noticed this week that I'm currently seeing no visual indication that the boost button is active. No underline, color, or anything.
It seems that a now-broken userstyle I'm using expects there to be an "active" class applied to the element, but it isn't anymore. Is that intentional?
Figured I should point this out to you in case you don't know already.

I don't care if it's animated in 2d or 3d, I just want it to look good. And cgi doesn't automatically make the anime look bad.

What usually makes an anime look bad is obvious cgi used in an otherwise 2d anime. Not always though, Fate/Zero's Berserker is an example of obvious cgi that looked good.

I don't really mind full cgi anime. I'm loving the current Kamierabi, for example. But they look off to me for the first half or full episode before I get used to it. Even Houseki no Kuni was like that. There are of course bad looking full cgi anime, but in general they don't look worse than 2d anime to me.

I also don't mind cgi backgrounds in 2d anime. Dekiru Neko looked amazing and the backgrounds definitely contributed to that, not the opposite.

@ernest
Is there currently a way to see threads boosted by followed users as a #kbin user? If not, is that something you're planning to add eventually?

around the world

fully blocking ad blockers

One of those two has to be false, because I'm still not seeing any anti-adblocker measures on my end.

Not surprising, given they were the only ones serious about advertising. We got so many leaflets from them at work and home and I even saw them on Reddit, yet nothing at all on those distribution channels from any other parties. I've seen some billboards by others, but it feels like 80% of the ones I've seen were SVP.

I personally hate them and didn't vote for them, but I don't think it's surprising they have such a big following.

I don't want to hurry anyone, just asking what's up, if there's been any trouble or anything.

Two weeks ago it was announced that there would be a planned outage introducing a big update that same week or early the next week (which would be last week). But that outage and update has yet to happen.

What's the situation on that? Ernest doesn't seem to have posted about it since (except clarifying that the one outage they had wasn't related to it). Did he actually quit kbin (like he said he would if it's not finished by end of last month iirc) and I'm supposed to follow someone else for news? I hope that's not the case...

Again, don't want to hurry anyone, just wondering what's up. I only follow the threads here and ernest's account for news on the topic, so I'm hoping someone better informed can fill me in.

I get it that things can have unfortunate names, but I've seen a lot of people proudly claim lemmy is "federated" or a "federation". Isn't a federation actually against what people want out of the fediverse?

Like, a federation in governments is about a bunch of otherwise self-governing states under a centralized government. Like the US, that's a federation.

isn't the whole point of the fediverse that it's anti-centralization? Then why do people call it a federation positively? That sounds like the last thing I'd want it to be.

I think a confederation would work, but that's not what I see people going for. Is that what it's actually intended to be and people just call it the wrong thing?

Imo Reddit is more of a federation than the fediverse, since the subreddits are self-governing communities until the admins demand them to change something.

I got a response from them on Reddit:

We didn't know which platform would take off, and we were nervous that because Kbin and Lemmy are so similar one platform might shut down in some sort of consolidation down the road. Also when we made them, each had very serious drawbacks for our media (Lemmy needs a lot of clicking to access the media, while kbin turned any media that wasn't in a 3:4 aspect ratio into a funhouse mirror.) So each of us took a community and somewhere down the line we'll re-evaluate.

When I visit the #mastodon page of a #kbin or #lemmy user/community through a direct link or entering the url (as opposed to navigating to it manually on mastodon), I get taken to the kbin/lemmy instance instead. How can I prevent that?

If I follow a person, not subscribing to a magazine, what does that do for me? Do I see their posts/comments somewhere; if so where?
Also, do boosts factor into that or are they purely to bump stuff up in the algorithm?

[-] Pamasich@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

kbin is written in PHP, but if you want to contribute, it's opensource on codeberg.

[-] Pamasich@kbin.social 36 points 1 year ago

But also, remember not to automatically assume someone with negative reputation is a troll. Given kbin currently doesn't calculate reputation correctly (it counts boosts not upvotes).

I'm putting this as a top level comment, but I mean to be talking here to the people suggesting to report or block, or moderators looking at this and thinking of taking action against trolls.

[-] Pamasich@kbin.social 23 points 1 year ago

It's a shame what has become of them, they made such great games in the past...

A new season is about to start (or has started in the case of the Love Live spinoff), and for those of us who watch seasonals, I've been wondering what you all are planning to try out.

You can check what's going to air here (Anilist) or here (MAL).

I'll post my own list in the comments.

How does following people on kbin work? Do I get shown their activity somewhere? Only boosts or other stuff too? And where?

Does following mastodon or lemmy users work from kbin?

A quarter of all subreddits are still private or restricted (can't post in them). This includes ones like /r/music or /r/programming. Of the 6 30+ million subscriber subreddits, only 3 have returned to normalcy. One is restricted, two others are in john oliver mode. The developers of Minecraft have officially abandoned Reddit as a platform, and advertisers are still pulling out as well.
