kbin.social update
  • By the way @ernest, it looks like the API has not been properly set up on kbin.social - probably an issue with the public/private key set up. I got a 500 error attempting to visit /api/entries

    I've submitted the second to last #kbin #API PR for review! This PR adds thread and thread comment retrieval, creation, deletion, editing, voting, reporting, and moderation functionality to the API! The last PR will be very similar to this one, except for microblogs!

    > > > Didn't you have the API 'complete' like 2 months ago? > >

    Yes, but it did not have any tests written to verify that it worked. These PRs have been resolving that issue so that there can be at least some guarantees that the API works when it gets onto kbin.social and others

    (Also, please remember to buy @ernest a coffee if you are able, he's been burning the candle at both ends to support kbin.social and deal with personal business)

    Artemis public beta up! Thanks Hariette
  • Not yet - the API is still being reviewed for integration into the main kbin codebase. artemis.camp is using the prerelease code to test the app. If another kbin instance decides to use the prerelease code I believe it might be able to be used on that instance as well, but I'm not 100% on if that's been implemented by Artemis

  • Lemmy and Kbin: The Best Reddit Alternatives?
  • At least one mistake in there though, since you can definitely block instances in Kbin too. It's not the most obvious though.

    Also:

    • kbin does have an instance wide moderation log in the footer: https://kbin.social/modlog
    • kbin supports markdown, though it does not have a preview feature yet
    • kbin allows you to block users just like you can block magazines and domains, though there is no way to filter specific words (yet)
    • (probably a few more, but those were the ones that I noticed)

  • A single health check call a minute by a single app is nothing compared to real world usage

  • Kbin's API is almost done and the developer is submitting for review
  • Yeah, it definitely is not a drop in for Lemmy's API, so if Sync were to support my API for kbin it would be an additional layer for them to add.

  • /kbin meta @kbin.social rideranton @kbin.social

    kbin's API is coming soon! I've finished up all of the endpoints required for a useful API, so it will enter review soon! The PR is here

    This will allow apps like @artemisapp to interact more effectively with kbin!

    YSK that a lot of common questions/complaints about Lemmy are presently answered by kbin
  • I've been working on the API, and it is pretty much feature complete (barring feedback) and should be entering review very soon.

  • YSK that a lot of common questions/complaints about Lemmy are presently answered by kbin
  • Fedia is just another kbin instance, not really a fork. It is tracking the development branch a bit closer than kbin.social, but it's still the same repo

  • What is the difference between Lemmy and kbin?
  • Lemmy stores who upvoted what but does not make it easily available to everyone like kbin does - you can set up a Lemmy instance to grab upvoted and read them from the DB if you are so inclined, or you could just look at kbin to see the same info

  • random art i made of kibby yesterday
  • Love it! Kbinaut Kibby is adorable =)

  • Edit: TIL it doesn't matter if you make your community on Lemmy or kbin, they're federated and will have equal exposure
  • The API is on its way though, I've only got a few more endpoints and permissions to add before it will be ready for testing

  • Does Lemmy strip photo GPS data?
  • Looking in ImageRepository.php it doesn't appear that images have their extra data stripped. Also testing it on my dev instance showed that GPS data remained in the image. Should be an easy fix since all image uploads are processed through that repository.

    Edit: In fact there's already an issue open for it - https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/374

  • YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private
  • Only on kbin, on lemmy that doesn't exist (yet)

  • YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private
  • kbin has the ability to see activity including upvotes, boosts, and downvotes from the UI for entries, comments, and microblogs

  • Looks like a few lemmy posts are slipping in even though I have Federation turned off on Kbin. Anyone else seeing this?
  • I believe those would be posts from kbin users on those Lemmy communities, I noticed the same when I turn of federation

  • YSK that Kbin can subscribe not only to magazines and communities, but entire instances.
  • Language filtering is in progress right now, hopefully it can make it soon to help alleviate those pain points - most of my blocklist is due to posts being in languages I don't speak as well

  • Not a shower thought
  • Actually they're still active - if you view from lemmy.world they last posted 3 hours ago, but if you view from your instance their last post was 9 days ago
