In my case is a cost one for sure, I just cant afford to pay for every single streaming platform, I pay for spotify no problem, all my music is in there.

I'm so glad I can just pirate everything I want

Funny thing is, this is exactly what reddit wants. When it's time to show the traffic after API shutdown they'll show the traffic of all the users that are protesting, and guess what, it'll be higher than before the API shutdown

Really cool design, would it be snappy? I mean if you slide a bit it snaps to an upvote, so it's easier to choose the action you want to perform.

It's sad, but it seems to me you adapted to the fediverse, I see you on my frontpage every time I check it, great content, good job!

This is why I stopped development of BotIt, if people don't want it then I won't continue making it

Looks amazing so far! I will definitely use it

I wonder if other official subreddits will stop being official

These people invested so much time and effort into their communities, I understand why they are doing all this to keep them

That's a great way to filter people in some way. I wonder for how long this will last. I'm not saying it can't be permanent but I'm sure at some point it will attract awful people

It's interesting to see people talking about bots flooding some communities with content and others saying there's not enough.
I created a bot, not to bring posts and comments from reddit but to use reddit as content curator, to bring links that were engaging there on to here.
However some people think theres a difference between users making a post with just a link to a news article or a bot doing it.
I think there's a use for bots, when the content they bring is external to both reddit and lemmy, and discussion around it is organic.

 

Hi @ernest, do you have any plans to defederate kbin from bot communities? This could explode at any moment spamming every single instance that is not protected: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/76632/Almost-90-of-the-accounts-on-lemmy-are-now-bot

Greetings, kbeans! I wanted to inform you that Kbin Link is now available on the Firefox Extension Store. If you're interested, you can find more information about it here: https://github.com/driccio98/kbin-link.

Kbin Link is a browser extension designed to simplify your browsing experience across different online communities. It detects community mentions in the format of "[email protected]" and it recognizes links in the format of "https://lemmy.word/c/memes" across any website and adds a convenient icon at the beginning. This icon allows you to quickly redirect to the corresponding community on Kbin, where you can easily subscribe to it.

Since this is a small project, there may be a few bugs or areas for improvement. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please let me know by leaving an issue on the GitHub repository.

Edit: Soon on the chrome store too!

Thank you for your support!

 

Seems like #kbin is federating again? That's really refreshing to see.

#kbinMeta

 

It seems like the "official" Lemmy instance, lemmy.ml, is currently experiencing some technical difficulties. It's been going up and down all morning and it isn't federating new posts.

Seems like they were right when the warned users to signup on other instances, that's why is important to remind people that you invite or you know are thinking to signup to do so on another instance.

While kbin.social has been the primary choice so far, there are other reliable options out there too. One of this instances is fedia.io, Additionally, you can explore more options on the instance listing at kbin.pub.

By spreading out the load among many instances, we can ensure that we don't face disruptions like the one we're experiencing right now.

I'd also like to know your opinions about this.

 

Hello! You may have noticed that the majority of posts and threads in your feed on Kbin are from within the platform itself. This is because the admin has activated Cloudflare DDoS protection which basically slows down requests to kbin, to prevent the website from experiencing downtime or becoming slow to respond.

Before implementing this measure, Kbin would often show 500 errors and be sluggish in its performance.
The admin (ernest), has been working on finding solutions.

So hopefully, everything should go back to how it was before, and you will see a lot more posts from the communities you have subscribed to with a bunch of comments from other places.

In my opinion, this also created an interesting situation where you can really see how active kbin is even when the discovery of posts from outside the platform is not functioning as intended.

Rest assured, this is only temporary, and in the meantime, take the opportunity to create and grow communities from within kbin itself!

 

This extension helps users subscribed to Lemmy communities by adding an icon before mentions or URLs related to other communities. These mentions can be in the format "!communityname" or through URLs like "https://lemmy.ml/c/memes".

By clicking the icon, users are directed to the kbin URL of that community. However, there's currently a bug preventing it from working on /kbin (ironically), and I've already reported the issue on Git.

I'm in the process of publishing the extension on Firefox and Chrome extension stores, along with making the source code available.

I would appreciate your input on whether you find this extension useful.

Thank you!

 

The title, I'm curious to know since kbin ≠ lemmy. Can you see magazines and posts on your feeds?
Can you find magazines on your search bar?

Edit: Magazines are to kbin what communities are to Lemmy.
Also keep in mind that the communities on kbin are much smaller.

Edit 2: For example, if you look for this community https://kbin.social/m/EASportsFC on your search bar like @[email protected] does it appear?
