Appreciate all your work and I am enjoying kbin but please make sure you are not burning yourself out. I have seen it too many times, especially in open source projects that become super popular all of a sudden. Take care of your mental health and work at a pace that you still enjoy. You don't ow us anything.

Have a great Sunday!

@TheYang Exactly! Came here to say this. Everybody actively using chromium based browsers is a part of the problem.

There is also https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ in case you are not aware which support A LOT of different services besides twitter.

Love it! But that is or can be part of the "problem". Suddenly it's not "I am working on the software I like" anymore but "managing merge requests all day". Not saying that's what's happening here tho. It can be a problem.

@SaltyIceteaMaker I installed miniflux, a rss reader, on it. Sadly android constantly kills the internet connecting when the screen turns off, so I can't use it as a server to access it from my other devices. I have tried everything I could find to prevent that from happening.

@BigBlackCockroach Have you heard of https://nostr.com/ ?
Should be of interest to you.
It's censorship resistant by design and you can get 100% censorship resistance by running your own relay (server which transfers the data between the clients).
It's a protocol, so all kinds of different applications can be implemented with it. Something like mastodon already exists.

@hardypart I have no inside info obviously but why would he join? He is making bank with photopea, why support potential competition?

How do you do that? I was looking for exactly that feature but can't find a "local list", which only shows kbin threads or something similar.

@SomeBoyo Yeah that's the normal devices guarantee you also get with normal android on pixel devices. So in terms of longevity GrapheneOS doesn't offer any advantages. There are other advantages of course.

@kescusay Just out of interest, what are the "special-purpose activities that can’t be done on my Linux laptop" if you don't mind sharing?

Looks very good, combined with the excellent https://userstyles.world/style/10313/ theme it's perfect. Thanks!

Trying this since yesterday without success. Must be something wrong with that instance.

@SomeBoyo What "long term support"? Official GrapheneOS releases for a device end when the official Android support ends because they don't support hardware where the firmware is not updated anymore. Or did that change recently?

The RIF dev is making an app for tildes.net

@Predator There is also Stealth https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.cosmos.unreddit/

Depends on the use case. I played around with it a lot and came to the conclusion that I don't like flatpaks and the base system is not flexible enough for me.

I use it as a self-updating desktop for my parents tho,. For that it's absolutely perfect.

Sounds like you have a working structure for now. :) I hope it all stays like this for you. I am exited about the future! Wish you the best.

It's not wired at all. I am active on both and the culture on both sites is completely different, so I totally understand when people decide that one culture fits them better.

@poweruser Sadly it doesn't have an AMOLED screen (cheap samsung tablet) but as a last resort it might be worth a shot. Thanks

Does that work for you tho? I have two domains blocked but still see them (at least one of them I am sure of) in my "all" feed.

Oh, nothing wrong with node at all. I used it for something very similar in the past myself. It's just that certain modules just don't work in termux.

I had the same idea and wanted to write a little userscript to achieve this. Sadly Kbin doesn't make it easy to do this, since the actual link is not exposed on the threads page and only accessible after you clicked the link. That makes it super hard to "group by link". I mean you could "fetch" every link for every post but that would put so much unnecessary traffic to the site so that I would rather not do that.

I might if I find something I am missing.
I have some specific requirements when it comes to scrapping. I am planning to use it on my phone in termux which doesn't allow all nodejs modules. Sadly also the most popular scrappers which use a xserver in the background. So it has to be very basic html scrapping which should be possible when you do it on the old.reedit site.

@snowbell

Check out this video https://invidious.tiekoetter.com/watch?v=EAogtqyN22M for some more context.

Ah sweet I was about to start working on something like this. Will definitely use it in the future. Thanks
*edit: Ah it still uses the public json endpoints. A "real" scrapper might be necessary in the future.

It's different. From a software standpoint much more mature since it's older and doesn't have to manage the technical depth that comes with the fediverse, since it's not a part of that.
The culture is also different. Not sure how to describe it but if I had to I would also call it "more mature". Deeper conversations and the different structure of the sites makes it different. There are also no moderators or freely created "magazines" (for now).
Have a look at it and feel free to message me if you are interested in creating an account.

@kionite231 Was the first thing I tried. Termux even has a "wake lock" function but that also doesn't seem to prevent it.

@aard What window manager do you use? Any chance to see your setup?

@aard Thanks, appreciate it! I am a xfce user with my own script to move windows around that kinda acts like a window manager, tailored specifically to what I need. I made several attempts over the years to switch to a floating wm but never found the sweet spot with multiple monitors involved, so I am always interested how other peoples setups look.

I recently switched to xfce.
I used KDE exclusively since 2004. That's a very long time but KDE Plasma in combination with nvidia got worse, what felt like, every single day over the last years, so it finally came to the point where I had no choice to look for something that works better.
Super happy with xfce after I set it up almost exactly like my KDE setup. Sure there are some thing that are not as "well rounded" than some of the excellent Plasma features but over all it works great!
