@HarkMahlberg Curious what other platforms, if you don’t mind me asking?
@HarkMahlberg Curious what other platforms, if you don’t mind me asking?
@Maestro Really good to know!! Thanks for the heads up.
@stopthatgirl7 Agreed. I have been using Beehaw more and more as a “test”. But I am not sure where I will land in the end though.
@HarkMahlberg I did the same thing since I am not sure of the longevity of kbin.
@roguetrick I really like kbin and want it to succeed, but between the outages, spam, and errors it is really difficult to use.
I have accounts on beehaw, mastodon, and pixelfed. I am open to other suggestions, but once I find a “home” (on kbin or otherwise) I will delete the others.
@Midnitte Waste handling has me curious as well.
@EdenRester I try to set a reading schedule. Nothing prolific, just some time where I can sit down uninterrupted and read. It is usually later in the evening, after the day has calmed down a bit. Sometimes in that time box, I knock out several chapters of a book. Other times, I can barely get through a few pages.
@Arotrios Thank you. That is a great explanation.
@Arotrios Interestingly enough, I can see my kbin posts in Mastodon as https://mastodon.social/@readbeanicecream@kbin.social, but it seems that those posts do not appear in my Mastodon timeline under the hashtags that I follow. For example, if I post something that includes #nasa, I do not see that post in Mastodon under #nasa. However, I do see it as a post under https://mastodon.social/@readbeanicecream@kbin.social.
I guess I am still just learning how it all works.
@roldyclark @End0fLine Well, if you are interested in the US gov’t:
RSS is good place to start: https://www.usda.gov/rss/latest-releases.xml
@stopthatgirl7 This seems like quite the lift and shift. Moving to a new platform would definitely split their user based. I would also thin that any form of aggressive defederation would split their user base as well. From what I can tell, there are not many (if any) fediverse platforms that have the level of moderation tools they they are looking for.
Unfortunately, It just looks like they are in a tight spot. One the could make or break that community.
I have not noticed many spammers here on kbin. But, when I do, the way I handle it is:
@cragsand What about removing English, saving, and adding it back. Also, maybe clearing the cache will help.
You can do this with firefox, too. It how I run it on my mobile.
@ernest Don’t let someone with the red ass, who by the way is using a self-described beta product for free and without ads) get you down. You need to take care of yourself and your family first. We will manage. I spend more time on kbin than I do on reddit and mastodon combined. The few little glitches I have hit here and there are nothing. This is a solid product and I have a blast using it!
If anyone says that /kbin is dying … well I will leave this right here:
Kudos to you @ernest and everyone else who contributes to the project!
Just a few different options:
@stopthatgirl7 Same. I poked around beehaw a bit, but I am not sure its is good fit for me. Think I will check out lemmy.world, they seem to be really communicative on mastodon during their upgrade process.
But that’s all I know about it. I am looking into mbin,too…but I really don’t much about it.
I have been spending most of my social media time on mastodon lately.
