Posts and comments are federated (synchronised). Upvotes are actually a bit of a fudge, they are actually 'Favourites' if considered from an activity pub (e.g. Mastodon) perspective, and yes favourites are also federated.
Downvotes don't exist in activity pub and, as a result, they do not federate between instances.
At least that is my understanding.

And here I am amused to be reading all the Lemmy centric replies to a Lemmy specific meme ... but doing it from elsewhere on the Fediverse. Here on kbin we interact with Mastodon just like we do with Lemmy. It all looks like one wonderful integrated fediverse from here!

Unity: Disappointed to discover denying access to a document with legal standing to the affected parties could have legal implications, and now trying to make up a cover story.

There fixed it for you.

"Trying to help your boss steal an election is not part of the chief of staff's official duties in serving the presidency. Sounds like the work of the campaign at best, a criminal conspiracy at worst, and the judge says it will stay in the courts in Georgia for a decision."

Oof, a burn like that is gonna sting.

Sales tax is the most obvious example of adding to the cost I've been shown, but it's everything. Here if there is a price on something that is the price you pay. Period.
If I have €5 and the price on the shelf is €4.90 we are all good, and I don't even need to know what country I'm in!

But is is more than that, if I take my car in to be fixed, they have to agree every cost they want to charge me in advance at no point can anything cost me more than I expected and agreed to up front.
Airline tickets, theatre tickets, hospital bills, TV ads, you name it, the price they state or advertise is what I pay, no ifs-no buts.

As a European I'll never cease to find it mind blowing that it is normal for a Americans that the cost to them of damn near everything is more than the cost initially shown to them.

I think we should remember there is a difference between what Russian people think, and what the Russian media is reporting that Russian people think...

Yep, there is a good reason the median average is usually used when looking at incomes.

Some thoughts about using the Microblog functionality in kbin and why, controversially, I think it might actually beat Mastodon at it's own game - browsing toots.

Kbin let's you have a curated feed of posts from the fediverse (including Mastodon toots) which is sorted by new, hot, top etc.

Steps:

  1. First, if you are subscribed to the https://kbin.social/m/Random magazine, I'd suggest you unsubscribe - kbin drops everything which it can't allocate to a magazine into here, which for the Microblog stuff is a lot of noise.

  2. Do make sure you've subscribed to a few magazines, but also you can subscribe to domains like https://kbin.social/d/social.bbc

  3. Follow people (I'm not sure of they will show up, but can't harm)

...now look at "Subscribed", and then choose the Microblog section (on desktop it's a tab at the top, on mobile you'll need to scroll to the bottom of Page 1 to find the Microblog button).

You should find this Microblog has stuff linked to the magazines you subscribe to, this is due to hastags being linked to those magazines, and also included posts from domains you've subscribed too. I'm not actually sure if people you've followed show up here(?)

Better still you can now sort and filter this list, New, Hot, Top / 3h, 6h, 12h, day, week etc.
This is sorting based on boots and upvotes.

In summary you've now got a custom curated feed of fediverse posts, and you can sort this feed by the posts which are most popular.

...I don't think Mastodon let's you sort your feed like this - this is power!

Edit: Fixed the hyperlink to Random

There was clearly a large bot net which started stencilling the outlines of the letters, but then it was magic, everybody understood the assignment. The letters filled out in a handful of minutes. Then, then the whiteout slowed - the apes (mostly) agreed the job was done. It took another half an hour or so for the white fog to finally take hold.

But r/place is ruled by bots... I bet the kind of people who develop bots are reeeeaaaly pleased about the API changes...

Data shows the micro-blogging website has been shedding users since early 2023, not long after Elon Musk’s takeover

Very exciting start to the Tour De France today. Great seeing the Yates brothers battling it out, and a well earned result for Adam.

RIP RIF (media.kbin.social)

That's it folks. RIF has stopped working.
Reddit is no longer fun.
