Duckduckgo has a bang for Mastodon: !msocial. Maybe we should start putting in requests for Fediverse bangs: !lemmy, !kbin, !beehaw, etc.

It would be better if they would add !fediverse that searches all of the sites. Maybe one day!

It gets more confusing when the instance you joined decides to unfederate and half of your subs stop working! Then you have to join a new instance and start over because subs nor usernames carry over.

Let him. Twitter is old news. Just like reddit. Irrelevant.

@JoBo I just googled it and Kenya came up as the first hit in Search and in Bard.

I am ready for this to be the norm. I am saving up for a solar powered generator for weather emergencies. Next, replacing my gas powered tools/equipment. Then, eventually, solar panels on the house.

@RMiddleton Yep. Means the author removed a letter from the word. So in the image above the author removed a d or s from the word waive. It just helps the quote make sense in context of the passage.

@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.

looks like it. !msocial {{{string}} points to https://mastodon.social/tags/string. So, !msocial Cats searches https://mastodon.social/tags/Cats.

True and I have seen it practice in my own career and in the careers of my peers. You have to "quit your way to the top."

Especially, after it has been proven to be more cost effective for companies to retain employees than continually hiring new employees.

I just requested a !kbin bang. In the request form they ask for a search URL such as https://kbin.social/search?q={{{s}}}. I tested it and it worked on kbin. I am thinking that the more people request these bangs the more likely they get approved.

@Naminreb Conversations and post seem to be more authentic here, too.

When relaying inconvenient news or the need to complete annoying tasks, I like the preface with it "Good news, everyone."

@TZUI1hRq only as a setting.

Or just post here ... 🤷‍♂️

I would try it ... not sure about being one of the first ones to try it, though.

I sort by new and subscribed. And my subscriptions span the fediverse. Plenty of new interesting content.

@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.

probably. So you could add it as a site search string; such as: site:lemmy.* OR site:kbin.social -site:beehaw.org cats

It's like USBs found on the street. People just have to plug them into something.

Before the fediverse becomes normalized for non-technical people, the tech jargon will have to be changed. Anytime a non-technical person hears server, instance, node, etc they glaze over in the eyes. These should be called something like communities or groups or clubs or something to tell people they are joining a group of like minded individuals.

After that, I do like the way kbin has used the magazine concept of magazine, article, post, microblog to describe the methods of communication within the "community". Even though admittingly, it took me minute to grasp the jargon change.

The selling point is federation, but that name has to go, too. Sounds to techie or bureaucratic. I don't know Connecting or something. Users need to understand that from their community, they can connect to (and interact with) other communities or members without having to join a whole new site. In that same sense, they can also block any community or member they do not wish to interact with.

Another selling point would be that if a community changes and you do not like it, you can just join a new one. However, this is not really a selling point yet because you cannot just mover your "profile" to another community. You have to rejoin and start from scratch.

This was my line of thinking, too.

Beehaw defederated from from a couple instances so I left and came to kbin.

Blogs and rss. Or make it easier to "federate" on the user level where each individual is an instance. But then, I like the idea of mesh nets, too.

Kbin > All > New is all you need.

• Garlic Salt, onion power, and parsley flakes.
• Cajun seasoning
• Cinnamon roll blend - https://thegingeredwhisk.com/cinnamon-roll-spice-mix/

Thanks. So, if I I turn federation off and comment on a kbin thread, will federation users outside of kbin still be able to interact with it?

It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. Could have been edited down to 45 minutes and released straight to Disney+.

It was beautiful to look at though.

Same here. My git needs are basic.

@furrowsofar User friendliness on the Admin side is definitely barrier. Until tiny box (like apple tv) can be sold with out of the box defaults and an easy to use app for "profile" setup, this may be a pipedream.

and this is how horror movies start.

@Chewy skiff.com is good option, too.

@Damaskox :

@HarkMahlberg I did the same thing since I am not sure of the longevity of kbin.

@roguetrick

@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.

@Remillard Just as @YouveCatToBeKittenMe said ... it's there from me too.
