Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Double-checking for you guys on Lemmy: you can also see who upvoted right? It federates into a like on the microblog side.
Would love to know if this is true! I'd be surprised if they chose to expose this data vs just sending a feed of anonymised vote deltas.
@dcx @Annoyed_Crabby lol i think because kbin was written as being both link aggregation like Lemmy but also microblogging like Mastodon, Calckey, Akkoma etc. And before Reddit, the expectation must be because the main audience will be bloggers who'll be visiting from federated spaces (chewah cam star trek). So upvote maps to likes; boosts is reblogs; downvotes go nowhere (since blogging platforms don't have these).
It's memang quite interpretative dance la - Calckey (and all the *keys) can give emoji reacts but it just shows up as likes on my Masto fork.
That's why I thought i better bring it up. It semi looks like Reddit but backend lain sikit.
Anyway.... I can see... But idk if adding a photo will add load so here's the direct link of this comm on kbin.social: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/77005/c-cafe-daily-chat-thread-for-23-June-2023#entry-comment-342733

@imaginelizard
Huh, interesting. So that's mean cannot see downvote over there as well.
whelp, now i cannot secretly upvote people now
@Annoyed_Crabby oh no, downvote also I can see, being a kbin user. It's the other microblog protocols that won't register anything. (if you feel nak lepas geram, this may be useful info, if you're adding any fedi accounts to your timeline/stream/subscription view (I assume you guys have this)
@imaginelizard @dcx
Wait, so it's specific to kbin users?
And... Uh actually I'm not sure how to map these in my mind...
Lemmy only user could not have these features, however kbin user who happens to be a lemmy user could have these feature..
Tbh, it's kinda confusing a bit
@YourClarke hahaha don't worry. I've really only been on Fedi since Nov 22 and kbin at the same time as you guys set up this Lemmy instance. I think the redditors will get the hang of it, certainly faster than Twitterjaya (I'm in perma-eyeroll mode since you guys arrived, because those are my gang. I'm even here cos someone made a big fuss about Elon. Guess where they are at now? Twitter ppl are babies. Mastodon as a platform was at least a few years old and they whined so much. Boo hoo have to pick instance, dunno who to talk to, feed so empty blablabla. But look at you guys! Most of the two major protocols are still held together by string lmao and you make it work.)
The main thing about Fedi protocols is that janji we can roughly talk to each other. Some functionalities across the microblogs pun not shared (I've only mentioned a couple), but it's doable, we make it work. Since joining my to-read tabs blew up and there's less Main Character discourse. So it's been a real nice change. But i was missing Malaysia content and community A LOT (hence my eyeroll at Twitterjaya). The current kbin state of things pun (like how when I'm logged on my kbin.social account i can see who upvoted) is probably because of what i explained above but also it's not even three months old. Lmao the dev is just some Polish kid. Lemmy is much older but a lot of ppl avoided because the main instance and devs are full-on tankies. The Reddit wave made it moot since you can always 1) make your instance; 2) fork the programme if tak puas hati with those devs and maintain your own codebase.
In any case for your example you get Lemmy features when your account is on an instance running Lemmy and kbin when otherwise but not both at the same time. Takpe, it's not gonna be too hard. And besides monyet.cc is set up, so at least you know how to hang out here. And from here, if you're signed in as monyet.cc accounts, you absolutely can find other comms such as kbin ones too. Can one can one :)
tbf this is definitely a major cause of analysis paralysis. otoh when monyet.cc sprung up I immediately knew which one to sign up to. it gave me confidence to take the plunge.
