third world countries are keeping up. My ISP reserves the right to throttle my bandwidth once use a certain amount of data. I have to say I haven’t noticed it do it yet. Yet being the keyword here.
Lots of Twitter users I know that “want to leave” twitter are waiting for bluesky. It’s like there’s no other alternative for them, only bsky. I don’t know how long these expectative thing will work out for bsky. Especially now that threads is around.
The list is also empty with my account logging in kbin.social.
Makes perfect sense, tbh. The list of instances federating with yours will get too large pretty quickly to have it listed in the sidebar -see the one of my instance, literally hundreds-. A sidebar is a terrible place for that information.
I want admins to publish their configs to federate/block other instances though they have no duty to do. :D
Maybe you can ask for the feature in the project site and future versions of Kbin will have it and no need for admins to include it themselves. I believe the developers had the intention to show the instances connected -as seen by the sidebar thing-, so maybe it’s just asking for a page similar to Lemmy’s one. Though it is possible that kbin.social admins do not want to show it and are actually hiding it.
However I want to know how to find federated instances from a certain instance instead of the sites if I can. Doesn’t ActivityPub have such a method itself?
It probably has a way, since kbin has a federation button at the top right in the sidebar. kbin.social’s bar has the “instances” list empty there. I have no kbin account so I cannot tell if it’s private and the list would be nonempty when someone logged in kbin.social views it. Haven’t seen a dedicated “page” to do that, as Lemmy does in the https://{lemmyinstance}/instances url. You can view all the magazines on the instances you are federating, as they appear in https://kbin.social/magazines -all the magazines with an @instance suffix are magazines that are currently federating-.
In my opinion, currently federating instances list may not be very useful for discovery and exploration as they tend to get very large and for exploring their magazines properly, they are already in the magazines list of your instance. Any instance not already federating with your instance may start federating -unless blocked- when you subscribe to some magazines, so for community/magazines exploration and discovery, probably a list like The Lemmy Explorer -which includes kbin instances now too- may be of more use. I understand this is not what you want but it is how federation works with apps following the ActivityPub protocol. At least the most popular ones i know.
Blocked/defederated instances lists are more likely to be useful in this sense because they usually are not very large, and they tell you what you have no chance of communicating from your instance.
yeah, i don’t think that much should be read into it. But in any case, the source does not seem to higlight Lemmy in particular in any way.
As a user. They follow the same communication protocol (ActivityPub). You can view and interact with everyone.
The experience of following Lemmy instances from kbin (and viceversa) is pretty seamless, because they’re built for the same purpose. So following a comunity from a Lemmy instance you’ll see it as any other magazine from kbin.
I believe, but i’m not sure as i don’t use Kbin -i use Lemmy-, that kbin is developed to give the microblogging experience too, so I guess following from Mastodon -or other Fediverse microblogging app- will also be pretty seamless.
The experience of following a Lemmy community or a kbin magazine from Mastodon is not great from a viewing and usability standpoint in my opinion. But it’s very possible, some people do it even. I found it pretty uncomfortable and I do not recommend it. That’s why I have a Mastodon account for the microblogging and a Lemmy account for “the threadiverse” (Lemmy/kbin, but i guess Meta has ruined the term now).
In sum: you can interact, as a user, no code necessary, anything made with ActivityPub. Not only Lemmy, kbin, mastodon, but also Pixelfed and so on. The experience may vary depending on the front-end you use.
Ok, definitely got a repro. Tried creating the PWA, all is fine, Minimize it and it crashes firefox.
I tried on lemmy.world and it works fine. I tried minimizing and it worked fine. I’m sorry :(
Thanks for trying on my instance. I wish I could tell what’s wrong so I could make a post in the c/meta about it.
Mine feddit PWA just crashes with updated Firefox from the playstore, on updated Android, at startup. U_U
Thanks for this. I’m following the account on Mastodon now. :)
AFAIK there are no tools like that, yet. Keep in mind that Lemmy (and surely Kbin too as I think it’s newer) are still very young applications (Lemmy is on version 0.17/18 currently). Development will probably accelerate now as it brought a lot of interest in developers and, as I understand it right now, the github is very active right now.
Mastodon does have migration tools to carry your follows with you, so it’s definitely possible and are probably coming soon.
They are essentially different software for, more or less, the same purpose: content aggregation with similar features to Reddit. Kbin also has microblogging features (Lemmy doesn’t). They both use the same protocol ActivityPub so they can see and talk to each other.
Yes, i saw a link to a statement of theirs after I put up this message.
Lemmy, and I guess kbin too as I understand it’s newer, are still in a very early stage of development (Lemmy is now in version 0.17 in my instance). The bump in users may bring interested to developers and there would probably be an acceleration. No idea where the priorities in development are right now though.
If it gets defederated by instances I care about, then i’d migrate my account.
One of the things the Lemmy devs community need to work on is migration tools. Mastodon, for instance, has tools to migrate your account to another instance that would carry your followings and such. I’d expect something that at least takes the communities/magazines I’m subscribed to with me.
As I do not use kbin, i don’t know if it has similar tools, but in any case, my response is the same.
Edit: there is a difference in migrating a microblogging account and migrating a threadiverse account that i’d care about, for instance. In microblogging, past posts do not care as much, it’s a more ephimeral thing -I have autodelete my posts set on, for example-. On the other hand in the threadiverse, there may be more timeless meaningful posts that I may care about not being lost and want to take with me if I migrate instances. Because of that, I think migration in the threadiverse is more complex and i’d like the migration tools to reflect that too.
We have a huge issue with misinformation and this actually helps resolve it.
I’m not really sure about that. Bad SEO is something that still exists, and with huge sites like Reddit gone, the bad SEO sites become more prominent which is not necessarily the site with actual articles and sources.
Of course the solution to this is not reddit back but stopping SEO and having better curation of sites in search engines somehow.
All in all it’s also a testament of how bad internet is now. All the information is concentrated in few sites that, if gone, gets lost.
Both Vim and Git really clicked with me when I had to revise and rewrite a paper. Sure, my graphic editor could do most things, but it really felt comfortable and quick on vim. I now use it for all my text editing, but that was my click moment.
I use Arch (btw). It’s not that I prefer ir over others for anything in particular, i’m just used to it by now.
