The best of luck in hospital, hope you'll be able to walk out without any pain after the recovery

I'd like to do a poll in a magazine, basically like they are on reddit. But better of course, not limited to 6 entries and maybe even have links or pictures in the entries.

Currently there's no such functionality in kbin and I'm not expecting there to be one soon.

What would be the best way to do it with what's available now? All suggestions welcome, thanks!

Just a tiny one to start with: could you add a css ID to the thumbnails so we can change the size?

Glad I downloaded all content from /m/RimWorldPorn just before the darkness then!

Continuing my first question

First of all, this is looking great and I can imagine this platform is under a lot of stress due to the mass migration from Reddit. Keep up the good work!

I am seriously considering moving RimWorldPorn to kbin. It looks good so far, and I like the decentralized nature.

-What happens if this instance falls away somehow? Will the images be preserved due to the decentralized nature?
-Will it be possible to make local backups? (a feature which reddit lacks)
-Will it be possible to set the add type to photo only for /m/RimWorldPorn?
-What is the maximum allowed filesize/resolution? It seems 5.5MB, unknown for X*Y. Can these potentially be increased, for magazines like these?
-I have almost 1000 renders on /r/reddit. Can those all be posted on /m/RimWorldPorn? (I have them stored locally)
-Is it possible for moderators to receive notifications when new images are added?
-Less important: would it be possible to use square thumbnails?

thank you!

Yes I was going to say this, it doesn't quite suit the needs of RimWorldPorn but does look like a great imgur alternative @LollerCorleone

I would like to note that it did not like me signing up from firefox, then verifying my username using chrome. It would not let me in until I tried signing in from chrome and then verifying again. I recommend passing this on to the devs as this will likely be too complicated for a lot of users.

@tchambers this question is for everyone, I am tagging the owner as it may concern you as well. I have a few questions.

So, trying to understand, what would happen if a user from another instance, that doesn't support, wants to look at mine, will they be redirected?

[-] TheVillageGuy@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Good point. That's one of the reasons why I came here, we don't want to be dependent on a commercial platform. I have safeguarded all the current renders, but all the comments / upvotes will be gone.

keep an eye on your organs there

Yes, reddit used imgur. Unfortunately they re-compress too aggressively and have a maximum res (iirc) so we prefer not to use them. We also want to keep it as simple as possible for RimWorld colonists, so if we can bypass a hosting platform that would be great

[-] TheVillageGuy@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Reddit has an upload limit of 20MB, so that's our standard. Reddit does decompress, sometimes, it's hard to put a finger on how and when, but usually the endresult is somewhere ~8MB. So if we can get 20MB non-recompressed images, we'd be well pleased.

[-] TheVillageGuy@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Interesting, where is that?

[-] TheVillageGuy@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

If somebody could help me set it up that would be great, I am having trouble uploading to /m/RimWorldPorn

[-] TheVillageGuy@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I am trying to upload images to /m/RimWorldPorn but it seems to fail on large images, giving either 503 errors or reloading the post image page.

Update: we're live @rimworldporn

Hello, I am the founder of /r/RimWorldporn. We would like to move away from Reddit and are looking for a good alternative. We are kind of like /r/earthporn, so we require hosting of large images. We've been around for about 4 1/2 years and have accumulated roughly 30GB of images. The main advantage of Reddit is that it hosts relatively high quality images, for free. Would kbin be a suitable platform for this? We could host our own instance, maybe even centralize image storing on it.
