Yeah. that is probably true for many since we all came looking for an alternative due to the loss of our mobile app… Lemmy is a little more mature since it’s been around a lot longer, so it already had an API to build on. @Rideranton has been working on an API and has several pending pull requests to implement one. I truly believe kbin is a better software so I’m hoping that the API sparks more dev interest.
I tend to agree with the sentiment here that we are all the winners for having discovered and are still using kbin, a platform that most wouldn’t have even known about before Reddit’s shenanigans. Though, I want to point out that total user activity on kbin is down 7,000 people since about 10 days ago…
It seems people are either going back, or are abandoning for Lemmy because of their abundance of mobile apps. Artemis is a decent kbin app, and is almost ready to release for public beta now that the API is complete (just waiting on integration) - though I fear it needs to happen sooner than later if we are to retain the userbase.
Agreed! Now get out there and contribute to kbin specific magazines and be part of it!
Considering the level of coordination it takes to make anything cohesive on those, let’s see spez try and downplay us again with ‘only a small percentage of users’.
It’s either public feedback, or it can’t be trusted.
So anyone can pay to manipulate content now, and not just people with big pockets? Neat. I think I’ll just buy @ernest more coffee…
Applying gold and awards will hold posts on the frontpage even if they’re downvoted to oblivion. They’re likely getting rid of them as a way of manipulating the narrative.
I went to reddit a little while ago to check on the status of my favored reddit app, and past the top 15 or so posts is the same shit I saw days ago. New content there has seriously dropped off.
Here’s an example.
This is the web owa version, but it looks similar in the windows client as well. I don’t have an example from my own inbox because I uninstalled outlook, but this is the same thing.
I switched to thunderbird a little while back when they started adding advertisements that look like actual email into my paid for windows application. Nope.
They’re not fans of Corpos in the cyberpunk community. What a shocker!
Unless you’re a mod of a nsfw subreddit, apparently. 🙃

It could mean all content, full stop. Everything can be offensive to someone.
Wow. Just checked. The newest post in that sub is 3 weeks old.
Then you block them. Individually at first. If there is a whole instance of them, like exploding-heads or lemmygrad, then you nuke their whole instance and move on.
I wish there was a way to load balance signups. Kbin.social is sure to take the brunt of this next wave since it’s the namesake.
I’m glad you went for a kbin.chat domain name, that should help new users to be a little less confused with choosing a home instance.
This app looks really good. It looks almost exactly how I have my kbin account set up with scripts in a browser, and the gestures are very nice. - I hope it adds kbin support or one of the kbin apps ends up looking like this or better.
Because they have like 15 mobile apps.
