Most of the magazines I subscribed are dead. The very few that post stuff receive no comments, I general everything is pretty dead

Are people really upvoting this or are bots too?

Press the cogwheel next to the federation icon (by default is on the right, under your username)

In the options select “Show Top bar”

Top right there is a link to “All”

https://kbin.social/all

It’s a bot. report and block

I’d say it’s a “karma” farming bot

News and updates from specific companies/projects/people

So let’s say I’m interested in tech. I got my news and updates from tech oriented websites/blogs, with the added benefits of tutorials and other articles also posted there, why would I want to use twitter?

Why not merge kbin and lemmy?

why not merge digg and reddit? or gmail and outlook?

why not Kbin? (since you are posting this on a kbin magazine)

You can add this group @fediverse from Mastodon and see and interact with all the posts.

Interesting, I can’t. What I can do is find and follow @fediverse, but I can’t see any post

on mastodon you can follow people from lemmy and kbin, yes

in the searchbox on mastodon search this:

@coremeltfx

and you will find your kbin user with the replies and content you wrote. but since mastodon and kbin are different it will not work properly (for example following kbin magazines in mastodon won’t show the content on those magazines)

But since kbin and lemmy have the same purpose their interoperability is good

https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/157935/Now-that-you-ve-all-tried-it-ChatGPT-web-traffic-falls

that’s a lemmy.world post seen in kbin

How does Kbin / Lemmy connect to the rest of the fediverse?

Using this protocol

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub

Joey is still working

Unrelated. Kbin and the rest barelly have this kind of content/knowledge that has been accumulating for years

I’m not saying it wont happen in the future, but, deleting or editing you comment history on reddit does more harm that good to us, the users

Why the fuck would they care about being stewards to knowledge? That’s Wikipedia’s job, not Reddit.

Wikipedia does not have articles about fixing certain issues or bugs on videogames (or software in general) Reddit does

Someone has an issue, someone write a reply with a possible fix. That’s mainly the use of reddit (at least for me). People editing their posts will let other people from the future who may have that specific issue with no solutions

I think there’s a case to be made that some common nomenclature should be applied to activitypub implementations

But there’s no standard when platforms on activitypub are so vastly different

peertube are is the equivalent of or youtube
lemmy is almost like reddit
Mastodon is twitter-like
Kbin is a mix between twitter and reddit
friendica is facebook
etc.

I think is ok for every platform being different, left the autors express however they want. Maybe if you are a boomer who never touched a computer or a smarthphone ever these things may be confusing, but for digital natives? really? Can’t you catch this stuff on the fly? It must be true what they say, the younger the dumber, to the point kids today don’t know the difference between a file and a folder

So should all news aggregators copy 2004’s Digg?

would you mind if I add your links to the topic post here?

Sure, go ahead

I posted this yesterday, in this thread

But Kbin is a platform and Lemmy is a different platform, just like Twitter and Facebook are different platforms. It’s just that Lemmy and Kbin use a common protocol, ActivityPub that allows interaction between different platforms. But that does not means both platforms are (or should be) the same
