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

Actually on kbin you can edit the title

Apparently it was like this when the Digg migration happened - give it a few weeks and it'll die down as people get it out of their system

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

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

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

And I believe you can do a multi line quote with 3:

>>> hello darkness my old friend
I've come to speak with you again
More
Lines

hello darkness my old friend
I've come to speak with you again
More
Lines

Unless I'm wrong and this isn't actually working

Hmm well that looks like it worked too well

And then make it a pull request on the front end's repo!

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

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

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)

YouTube Revanced is a replacement for the Vanced app that is less likely to get taken down since it doesn't distribute YouTube assets

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

A single health check call a minute by a single app is nothing compared to real world usage

kbin users:

Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power

I believe you just need to remove the exclamation point and search for ich_iel@feddit.de on kbin. Not totally sure why but I expect this is just one of the kinks that'll be ironed out once things are less on fire around here

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

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

It basically uses the same methods of submitting content as the website does, reading the entirety of the webpage in the process. It's much less efficient than using an API, but it's possible

None of the content from beehaw.org would update on lemmy.world, so if you (a lemmy.world user) subscribed to a beehaw community, no posts would ever be sent unless beehaw refederated lemmy.world. Essentially beehaw's server is not talking to lemmy.world in any way currently

By the way @ernest, it looks like the API has not been properly set up on kbin.social - probably an issue with the public/private key set up. I got a 500 error attempting to visit /api/entries
