Titan sub CEO dismissed safety warnings as 'baseless cries', emails show
  • Yeah he’s dead along with them. He was down there.

  • What is your opinion about Lemmy not having karma but Kbin having reputation points?
  • I just boosted your comment by clicking boost. No idea what it does but you have a shiny (1) next to boost now.

  • How many accounts do you have on lemmy/kbin?
  • One Kbin account and one Lemmy account. I started in Lemmy in a small instance that I'm still fond of. But enjoy the feel of kbin better than Lemmy.

  • I'm still learning this myself. So only speaking from limited experience.

    But from what I understand, in the case of Lemmy, KBin, Mastodon, and a few others, they all use the ActivityPub network protocol and that is what essentially connects them all together.

    I am only speculating, but I expect that there is some improvements needed in that protocol along with some standardization between dissimilar platforms to facilitate better visibility between those dissimilar platforms.

    On the flip side, even Lemmy to Lemmy instances have issues showing communities from other lemmy instances. Which, leads me to suspect a problem either in configuration of the instances, or in the underlying protocol (ActivityPub).

    Edit: from the kbinmeta magazine, here's more details on plans for the search feature here.

  • Rhysida ransomware leaks documents stolen from Chilean Army
  • I can't seem to find much on this threat actor. Any idea if they went by a different name previously?

  • Cyber Insurance Premiums Surge by 50% as Ransomware Attacks Increase
  • Not foregoing per say, but I have found indications that insurance companies are becoming very strict (smart?) in the questions and assessments of business they provide insurance to.

  • Excuse you, YouTube 😡
  • Pretty sure OP and others above are talking about from smart enabled media devices like Amazon firestick or google's equivalent chromecast, a hardware device you plugin to your tv, not the chromecast capability.

  • How well do y’all sleep?
  • It's weird, but since I quit vaping over a year ago I sleep pretty amazingly. Used to wake up ~8PM exhausted, or not until 11 PM and groggy.

  • It has gaps in communities, and is not completely federated for all instances, but if you click on the Magazines button at the top (desktop view) or click on this link:

    https://kbin.social/magazines

    Then you can search from there. You will see other instances come up in the search result. It feels cludgy, not because of kbin, but I think mostly how federation between other instances goes. But I suspect that will improve with time.

  • Signs of the Reddit Migration Numbers - Top 20 Fastest Growing Servers on the Fediverse
  • That would be frustrating. I did not have the same experience. It was fairly easy for me.

    That said, the admin of this instance and developer of kbin has said that they are doing some stress testing and additional troubleshooting that will impact performance. So I would venture to bet you ran into either part of that testing, or a peak load time.

    All that testing needs to be done, but should pass.

  • I definitely think r/gaming has the biggest banger of a privated notice
  • Ah I gotcha. That tracks with what I had been noticing I thought was a bug.

  • I definitely think r/gaming has the biggest banger of a privated notice
  • What do you mean federation was taken down for Lemmy? I haven't noticed that.

    EDIT:

    Also wanted to point out that you can sub and communicate and create posts on beehaw.org posts from your lemmy.ml or lemmy.ca accounts. It is clunky, but you just have to go to search page (top right) from your account's home instance, change the type from 'All' to 'Community' and search for the remote community using their format for searching communities (i.e.: [email protected]). The search usually returns nothing on the first search if your instance updates it's federated info with the remote instance or there are network errors. So just clear the search and try 'technology' and I have found that returns it.

    KBins search function is a lot better. I have found a lot of other bugs on Lemmy, but you can work around them.

    You can also sub to those lemmy communities from here. but that is a bit more in development than the lemmy to lemmy instance communication.

  • A lot subreddits end their blackout tomorrow. Will you go back to Reddit, or continue with kbin and the Fediverse?
  • If Lemmy and Kbin could get together and have some kind of combined offspring, that would be good I think. I know they are both a part of the fediverse, but interacting between the two is problematic at best.

    Lemmy is still using websocket vs REST API, and is pretty buggy, even on the less populated instances. It has potential and they are making progress though.

  • I deleted my account already. posts are left behind but if anything some of them are technical related to problems I asked about or helped solve and may help someone. So I'll leave them be.
