Truly a mystery

Kinda looks like kbin

@keenworld I agree. They started with email a decade ago and even though it was unfinished they tacked on calendar, storage, vpn and so on. I would have wished that they finish one thing before starting another.

@Asudox

My biggest gripe is that they are incredibly distracting to use while driving. The safety implications are huge. I hate on-screen buttons. On top of that most are poorly coded and run slowly.

That’s a rounding error on their P&L

@rideranton Fantastic news, thank you very much for your work!

Constantly being logged out on the website, in the web app, and on Artemis. 😕

There is an app, check out https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp

@fearout These are so creative and beautiful! Love that you actually thought about the symbolism of each topic and worked that into the design!

@Kill_joy Agreed 100%

It’s really exciting to see the community grow and develop. Two weeks ago there were barely any upvotes and comments. Now I see posts with several hundred upvotes and comments. /m/All has new content each and every time I visit. I see more and more Magazines come through. Saw a few posts above 1K upvotes already a few days ago. It’s awesome!

@Sinnerman

That’s a newly minted issue, check this thread: Federation with some lemmy instances is 404’ing

@NotAPenguin Maybe, what is your interpretation of “Hey, boost == 2*upvote. Simple as that ;)”

@Mr_Figtree I’m pretty sure this is the issue as lemmy.world just updated to 0.18. They are being “re-linked” to kbin as we speak, https://kbin.social/m/personalfinance@lemmy.world just popped up and timestamped as created 52 minutes ago. Perhaps something with caching? No idea, it goes beyond my area of knowledge but definitely something broke just a few hrs ago.

@Mr_Figtree It’s broken because of the 0.18 update as linked by Alexmitter above…

@Alexmitter Thanks for linking the relevant repo issue, that explains it.

@Mr_Figtree I am not 100% sure what you mean by “you need to search for them and interact with those communities for your instance to start pulling in content”. The URL syntax for federated communities outside of kbin is fixed to https://kbin.social/m/community@instance.tld. So https://lemmy.world/c/bogleheads should work via https://kbin.social/m/bogleheads@lemmy.world when federating properly. However it isn’t even coming up in search at the moment: https://kbin.social/magazines?q=bogleheads

Perhaps something to do with the very recent lemmy.world update to 0.18.1-rc?

@NotAPenguin

Yes it does. That’s literally what Ernest said and I even linked his statement on that in the post. It would behoove you to read it.

Negative, because spez is a dick and ernest is a cool dude. Having said that, Ernest is the person who build kbin (the software) and also kbin.social (this instance of the kbin software), amongst other things.

I feel it’s also important to add that, at least in my understanding, Ernest never meant to be next large content aggregator CEO. From what I gather, he is a dev first and foremost, who was publicly alpha-testing what he built as an alternative to lemmy. Somehow this test instance ended up being a reddit migration outlet which he is now trying to keep alive all the while developing its underlying software. That’s at least two substantially different full-time jobs with very diverse objectives. It’s a miracle it all works as well as it does, tbh.
