Is kbin dead in the water?

Still no API to enable official apps and no moderation tools. It really feels like it's lagging behind Lemmy at this point. Lemmy's growth has significantly outpaced kbin and it feels like it's going to just die a slow death now.

Kids loved the potato
  • That's 100% true. But the neighbors would be mad enough to make this person stop.

  • Kids loved the potato

  • Central Bucks election signs saying ‘Groom dogs not kids!’ are one of many that Dems want taken down
  • I would just put up signs that say "hey Republicans, stop electing people who actually raped children."

  • Almost ready for Halloween
  • Lol, almost. There's as much post processing sanding and painting time left as it took a machine to print it for you.

  • This guy built a full-size Battlestar Galactica Viper in his garage

  • ELECTION DENIER.

    This man cannot be trusted to oversee the transition of power in this country.

  • Far-right MAGA Republicans threaten to torch 'RINO' Emmer’s speaker bid: 'Stand strong against this'
  • At this point it's inevitable that they have to strike a deal with Dems to elect a speaker. And the longer this goes on the more they're going to have to concede to get it done.

  • Texas Republicans Ban Women From Using Highways for Abortion Appointments
  • All they have is performative politics.

  • Anon plays an MMO

    What a disgusting culture we have where that sentence is controversial.

  • Compatible USB 2.5gbe adapter?

    Anyone know of a USB 3.2 gen2 or lower 2.5gbe adapter that works well with Unraid? I know it's my old friend Slackware under the hood but I'm not sure how far that will get me since it seems to be pretty well stripped down. I'm fresh out of PCIe slots in my little box but have plenty of USB 3.2 gen2 ports to go around since the only USB device I use is my UPS.

    Buy with caution. A completely unrelated company has registered the previously abandoned Mayfair Games trademark and will begin releasing new games under it.

    Alternatives to PhotoPrism

    Are there any full featured alternatives to PhotoPrism? I'd be happy to support their devs but charging almost $80 a year for basic features like having more than one user is kind of absurd. At that cost I'd rather just pay for the extra dirt cheap storage from Google and keep things there.

    That said, I'd really love to continue moving everything I can away from the big G and photos is a sticking point because I have a wife and child and other family members who depend on it.

    Kbin instances seem more isolated from each other than from Lemmy instances

    EDIT: Sorry I did not make this clear. I am not presenting this as a techincal problem for admins to solve, but as a community problem. The kbin.social community as the larger instance is not seeking out communities from the smaller instances.

    When searching for magazines (communities) the results almost always show either kbin.social or one of the major Lemmy instances.

    I can pull the domains like https://kbin.social/d/fedia.io but when i try to pull a community like https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] I get a 404 error.

    To compound the problem lemmy communities are much more discoverable because they are listed on https://browse.feddit.de/. So even kbin users are largely interacting more through lemmy communities.

    As far as I know there is no such tool to browse or search communities across all kbin instances. Does anyone know if the lemmy browser can include kbin instances?

    Fedia.io, the largest other kbin instance seems to have lots of communities on the vine because we largely do not interact with them. But they see the rest of the fediverse like we do.

    If we want other instances to grow like kbin.social has we probably need to resolve this disconnect between kbin communities.

    YSK if you overwrote your comments and posts that Reddit is restoring them to previous states

    Why YSK: Because you may delete your account and find your comments and other content is restored and beyond your control.

    DO NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT YET.

    Keep overwriting your comments over and over so they cannot just roll them back a single edit.

    I prefer Power Delete Suite as it does not need authorization and just uses the website through your own browser. I will continue to overwrite my comments on repeat until the API changes.

    PSA: Do not direct people to specific instances on the Fediverse.

    You should always direct people to a landing page where they can choose from or be directed to multiple different instances.

    https://kbin.pub/en or https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list https://join-lemmy.org/ or https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

    You can direct people away from specific instances if, for example, they have been de-federated.
