Dear Lemmy users, what are your favorite kbin communities?

Eggyhead@kbin.social to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 32 points –

I jump between kbin and Lemmy fairly often, and it just seems like most content/communities end up settling on Lemmy. Which kbin communities do you actually think are better than the alternatives?

Hope you're all having a good weekend.

I unfollowed a bunch of kbin comms because when kbin mods delete spam, it doesn't get deleted from Lemmy ☚ī¸

This feature stopped working for some reason during the development of these software. In the coming weeks, I'll be working intensively to improve communication in the fediverse, including moderation.

Thank you for all you do. Even though I primarily use Lemmy, I have noticed that the kbin users I see over here tend to be really thoughtful and positive contributors. I'm looking forward to better integration between the two platforms, because I feel that it will add real value to the communities on both sides and potentially unlock another stage of growth for the threadiverse.

Don't go burning yourself out though, I'm happy to wait as long as it takes 😇

Yeah I've kind of been waiting for federation to start working better before exploring kbin communities. The lack of moderation is already bad, but I have also experienced comments/votes not federating for hours or sometimes not ever. It's very frustrating to make a contribution to the discussion and then come back the next day and realize no one actually saw it because it didn't federate properly.

Yeah, there's a bug where things get back to the original magazine but don't federate back out to other instances until they are interacted with on the original instance. So if you post to a Kbin magazine nobody sees it, until somebody with an account on the original magazine's instance upvotes it. I raised it on the Kbin issue tracker but nobody seemed to believe me even though I'd proved this was the problem.

Interesting, thanks for clarifying and well done on identifying the specific issue.

It seems like there is just an overload of issues that need to be fixed at the moment, so it's going to take a while to work through them all.

I think that just got fixed this week.
