Ah, the meta memes, we have evolved

The numbers for the r/mildlyinteresting vote haven't been openly available and I think that they are important to spread. by lixus98 in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

When spez says "We don't want to show NSFW to users" they mean they don't care how many users voted, they are saying "We don't want to give a bad impression to users that will use Reddit no matter what".
They just don't care about anything else that isn't money, if they could replace Reddit users with tiktok users they would be thrilled, even if they lose 12+ year old accounts with thousands of comments.
With this I'm not saying the protest is useless, it has the power to basically kill Reddit if enough users participate in it.

Reddit activated a word filter that whenever you say "fuck spez", your comment won't show up for anyone else. I just tested it on ModCoord. they're also deleting spez memes from the subs they nuked lo by lixus98 in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

Wow, seems like spez is from the same breed as Elon "Thin-skinned" Musk, no surprises there really. I love to imagine how hurt he is because everyone is saying that to him lol.

I also made a similar bot, might be useful!, this one doesn't check every single post, only external links, I didn't want to repost original content or spam communities, so the post only gets one post per hour (which can be changed) and checks the community to see if there's a similar post there already (same link).

Edit: it uses the json page, and filters posts based on upvotes, downvotes, age, etc. It supports multiple subreddits and communities at the same time.

I've felt more compelled to contribute to the "Fediverse" than I ever did on Reddit. by lixus98 in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

Same, when I posted on reddit I felt rejected, even if what I said was something unimportant, there was always someone who made you feel like you were wrong for just participating, this is much better.

We Should Focus On Building Kbin, Not Getting Back at Reddit. Here's How We Do It. by lixus98 in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

[-] lixus98@kbin.social 43 points 2 years ago

Devs (like me) can help, the main issue is hosting the bot somewhere and covering the costs, but I think is a good idea.

Hey could we defederate with exploding-heads.com/ by lixus98 in c/main@sh.itjust.works

Hey kbin users if you want to block this domain just go to https://kbin.social/d/exploding-heads.com and block that domain there.

Mates, today without warning, the reddit royal navy attacked. I've been demoded by the admins. by lixus98 in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Ah yes, "please reopen the piracy sub so people can discuss piracy freely 🥺".
My bet is this is an automated message sent to big subreddits.

I do have to give it to the moderators, they made this asshole show his true colors. There's no going back to Reddit now.

Took a peek on Reddit, it really boggles my mind how oblivious and obedient people are. by lixus98 in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

I hope these people stay there, I like the community that moved to Lemmy/kbin as they are friendly and chill.

Introducing Kbin Link: Navigate between communities with ease (media.kbin.social)

submitted 2 years ago by lixus98@kbin.social to c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

Greetings, kbeans! I wanted to inform you that Kbin Link is now available on the Firefox Extension Store. If you're interested, you can find more information about it here: https://github.com/driccio98/kbin-link.

Kbin Link is a browser extension designed to simplify your browsing experience across different online communities. It detects community mentions in the format of "!communityname" and it recognizes links in the format of "https://lemmy.word/c/memes" across any website and adds a convenient icon at the beginning. This icon allows you to quickly redirect to the corresponding community on Kbin, where you can easily subscribe to it.

Since this is a small project, there may be a few bugs or areas for improvement. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please let me know by leaving an issue on the GitHub repository.

Edit: Soon on the chrome store too!

Thank you for your support!

The "official" Lemmy instance lemmy.ml is currently experiencing downtime. (kbin.social)

It seems like the "official" Lemmy instance, lemmy.ml, is currently experiencing some technical difficulties. It's been going up and down all morning and it isn't federating new posts.

Seems like they were right when the warned users to signup on other instances, that's why is important to remind people that you invite or you know are thinking to signup to do so on another instance.

While kbin.social has been the primary choice so far, there are other reliable options out there too. One of this instances is fedia.io, Additionally, you can explore more options on the instance listing at kbin.pub.

By spreading out the load among many instances, we can ensure that we don't face disruptions like the one we're experiencing right now.

I'd also like to know your opinions about this.

Why are you not seeing as many posts from Lemmy communities on Kbin? (kbin.social)

submitted 2 years ago by lixus98@kbin.social to c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

Hello! You may have noticed that the majority of posts and threads in your feed on Kbin are from within the platform itself. This is because the admin has activated Cloudflare DDoS protection which basically slows down requests to kbin, to prevent the website from experiencing downtime or becoming slow to respond.

Before implementing this measure, Kbin would often show 500 errors and be sluggish in its performance.
The admin (ernest), has been working on finding solutions.

So hopefully, everything should go back to how it was before, and you will see a lot more posts from the communities you have subscribed to with a bunch of comments from other places.

In my opinion, this also created an interesting situation where you can really see how active kbin is even when the discovery of posts from outside the platform is not functioning as intended.

Rest assured, this is only temporary, and in the meantime, take the opportunity to create and grow communities from within kbin itself!

Hi /kbin! I'm currently working on a small browser extension for /kbin users. (media.kbin.social)

submitted 2 years ago by lixus98@kbin.social to c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

0 comments fedilink

This extension helps users subscribed to Lemmy communities by adding an icon before mentions or URLs related to other communities. These mentions can be in the format "!communityname" or through URLs like "https://lemmy.ml/c/memes".

By clicking the icon, users are directed to the kbin URL of that community. However, there's currently a bug preventing it from working on /kbin (ironically), and I've already reported the issue on Git.

I'm in the process of publishing the extension on Firefox and Chrome extension stores, along with making the source code available.

I would appreciate your input on whether you find this extension useful.
