I hope Ernest gets well soon and can pass through all of these stuff, but I must add one point to this:

And finally, I really suggest getting some more admins for the instance.

And, as important as this, letting more people help with Kbin development.

It’s impossible to maintain the code and develop new features, while dealing with all his personal life problems (which of course are a priority) and maintaining the instance all at once and almost alone.

Why not getting some help? I know that Ernest already said he has a problem trusting people, but come on, it’s visible that this approach is not working and it’s not benefiting anyone.

So you can manually put your laundry inside it, go to your bed and tell the machine to wash it like you didn’t had to get up to put your laundry inside it.

Oh, I tried to say that I can see and even follow this Threads account, so probably Kbin is still federated! Sorry if it wasn’t clear

Well, if you’re right, Kbin looks to not have defederated Threads

Is there any way for me to know if a Kbin instance also blocked Threads?

Oh, thanks for showing the other side! Like always, things are not just black and white.
I have never heard about Melroy before, but I was scared by the last comment. It’s nice to hear that there are nice people working on this branch :)

That makes sense!

For my basic knowledge working side by side with a lot of devs, I totally agree with the way Ernest thinks. It’s essential for a product that’s growing up to have a solid core that will not need to be rewrote in the near future.

But also, as an user, I keep wishing we could see more features, like the API for mobile apps.

I mean, besides what Ernest and Melroy thinks that’s the right way, there’s also what the users need, what the users want and what the project needs to escalate (new features vs core rewriting). And probably there’s not a right answer for that.

Honest question: what’s the reason to make a fork instead of contributing do kbin itself?

Watch out, he’s going to virtually punch you until you upvote his comment, like a real man would do

You mean when violence was more aceptable than talking? Of course I remember (even because it still exists) and I’m very happy that society is evolving

I bet that someone is going to code an AdBlock 5 minutes after it being launched publicly

They probably still are the owners of the device and would make you pay for a new one right when they discover that you’re not generating revenue anymore.

I had never heard of it before and I liked the concept, but to me it looks like a lot of work for users to connect to each other via QR codes, making it impracticable for a lot of people, don’t it?

All I can do is thank you guys for that! Hehehe

I don’t know if there’s an updated roadmap, but this is the one that I’ve found some weeks ago: https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/511/Kbin-Roadmap-2023

But these settings are just for the in-site notifications, don’t they? I mean, I have some of them checked, but never received a push notification in my browser to don’t need to open Kbin every time to check of there’s any new interaction

From what I saw, the updates are just rare and occasional bug corrections, but never new features.

I have signed up for beta weeks ago, but never got invited :(

I don’t wanna be rude, but this answer is the exactly first thing written at Kbin’s frontpage, but people always keep asking “why Kbin doesn’t have X feature”
