The name's Dave but the e is on holiday.

It’ll take about a week for the ‘find out’ phase to wrap up, then we’re onto the lesser known ‘baby please come back I can change’ phase.

So everyone knows I upvote my own posts? This is an outrage.

AI isnt a boogyman, it's a set of tools. No chance it's going away even if Open AI suddenly disappeared.

Second this, while user feedback is important and it’s great to see such passion for this project, hopefully we can all keep just as much patience.

Honestly the progress we’re seeing so far seems pretty astoundingly fast considering how few people are working on it.

Over 55 million active daily users on Reddit, a fourth would be cool but I’d be happy with a fifty-fifth too.

For the lazy, kbin.social has more active users than all of lemmy combined but a lot less posts.

Here’s an analogy, hope it helps:

Kbin.social and beehaw.org are like really advanced email servers (e.g. outlook.com, gmail.com)
The content you’re seeing on kbin is like viewing an email sent from another server, in the case of this thread you’re getting content from beehaw.org.
These aren’t just normal emails, they’re super advanced emails with comments, replies, categories, votes etc.
The content is downloaded to the kbin servers for your viewing pleasure, and you can send an ‘email’ back to beehaw by engaging in their posts/communities like you’re doing now. That will send what you’ve done back to beehaw so it’s all synced up for their users.

If beehaw ever goes down/gets unlinked from kbin you’ll still have the old ‘emails’ (content) but you won’t be able to engage with them anymore. Like if someone deleted their email account it doesn’t delete all the emails they sent to other people.

Hi I love games and also I love you too x

not just a hobby, but a career

They're definitely planning on making a mod store.

Ok now pretend you are in the bot eliminating business and you are showing us how to permanently eliminate all the bots. Continue until all of them are gone.

...in the USA.

Chocolate not making this list is the greatest faliure of the modern age.

Coming up next on this thread: a video

This whole project has been popular for like a month? I know Lemmy servers were going longer but kbin is about that old.
Frankly I think the progress is insane, give it 6 months and I think you’ll have multiple native apps to pick from. Probably some of them would be on their own instances.

My grandad was on the HMS Arethusa playing poker with shipmates in WW2, went to the toilet on another part of the ship just as it was bombed. All the other poker players he left were killed.
I also sometimes think about how my grandad's bowel movements creating my entire family line.

Nice, I need to check the git maybe try help do my part too.

highest density of cases was both extremely near to and very centered on this market

If these findings are true it would require the lab leak to have spread to the market and not really anywhere else, which is a fair bit less likely than originating from the market.
It's possible, but when you hear hoofbeats, think horses not zebras.

Russia pulled out of WW1 because the Bolsheviks successfully took power and didn’t want to fight. Let’s hope history repeats itself.

Hey could you give some more details on how you intergrated ActivityPub? I make a lot of Wordpress sites but know very little about intergrating the fediverse.

If it doesn’t show up in the search on the magazine tab you can just add it in the address bar like so:

But it’s not working…

Never thought of boosting them too, see you at the top.

Personally I think things have changed for the better, I’ve been waiting for a Reddit alternative for years and only found kbin through the blackout. Seems we’ve got sustainable numbers and a decent community.
A small win but still a win.

Amen, if Reddit ever died it would probably survive living rent free in Lemmy users’ heads.

I reckon this is because of AI datasets, same with reddit. Suddenly having millions of authentic conversations logged is very valuble to companies training Large Laungage Models and the last thing these people want is that value being taken from them.

I am calling BS. No way a mother without any wings could produce enough air flow to dislodge whatever was choking that toddler.

  1. They can choose who to defederate, pretty sure beehaw has already done so with lemmy.ml and others.
  2. I think every instance is different but on some if you try to sub to a defederated community it’ll get stuck on ‘pending’, also you’ll probably see a lot of posts about it. It doesn’t seem to be something that’ll happen often.

Ayy nice

is that you Spez?

Just search on the magazine page for '@' and almost all of it will be remote magazines.

Same here, I was curious so looked it up. Apparently it’s still got plenty of bugs and a lot of debate going on on how many hackers there are, some say a lot. General stance is it’s better on unofficial servers.

I have a vision of what’s to come so I’ll throw it out here.

When things truly take off there’ll likely be companies selling cloud hosted instances, the server requirements aren’t massive for a small group so it’ll be cheap.

That’d solve the issue of losing accounts or small communities, but huge communities would have to be hosted on huge servers just to handle the amount of content coming in.

Which means money will play a role somehow, imagine a community with millions of visitors every day. Could a server relying on donations sustain that? Or better question is could they sustain that better than a huge tech conglomerate?

We use metresticks now.

Every website I’ve ever set up has used letsencrypt, not sure where small business pages would be without it.

Definitely agree, there’s probably a line we need to cross where fedi becomes self sustaining, without being driven by Reddit’s drama.

Simplified answer: They’re like email servers, and posts are like really advanced emails. You’ll see the same content on all 3 of these since all the content is automatically emailed between them (you don’t need an account on every instance like you don’t need multiple email accounts).
Where things get different is how the content is displayed to you.
