Some dude that enjoys working on open source projects, reverse engineering, 3d printing, experimenting with 3d graphics and lots of other tech hobbies.

Currently working on the kbin API: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/357

Games I play:

  • Planetside 2
  • DnD 5e

Shows I like:

  • Star Trek
  • The Expanse
  • Wheel of Time
  • House of the Dragon

Book series I enjoy:

  • Game of Thrones
  • Wheel of Time
  • Mistborn
  • The Stormlight Archive
  • Pathfinder

  • Lemmy and Kbin: The Best Reddit Alternatives?

    Jump

  • 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

    Jump

  • 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'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

  • YSK that a lot of common questions/complaints about Lemmy are presently answered by kbin

    Jump

  • I've been working on the API, and it is pretty much feature complete (barring feedback) and should be entering review very soon.

  • 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?

    Jump

  • 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

  • Does Lemmy strip photo GPS data?

    Jump

  • 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

    Jump

  • Only on kbin, on lemmy that doesn't exist (yet)

  • YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private

    Jump

  • kbin has the ability to see activity including upvotes, boosts, and downvotes from the UI for entries, comments, and microblogs

  • YSK that Kbin can subscribe not only to magazines and communities, but entire instances.

    Jump

  • 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

  • Fediverse won't replace Reddit as long as Lemmy is the main platform being promoted

    Jump

  • A feature we'll definitely want to have with kbin in the future is the ability to migrate accounts to other instances. That would mean that even though we're centralizing on kbin.social right now, people could move to other instances and spread the load across the fediverse without losing their history

  • "Antiwoke" magazin on kbin.social posting bullshit like "how to end Wokeness" and "Time to reject the extrem trans lobby harming our society"

    How to report ? he is the moderator of that magazin.

  • You can block domains if you click on the domain next to the post, go to the sidebar and block it like a magazine
