@tauonite
I'm liking it a lot! Love that we can shout over the fence to our neighbors. :)

[-] tauonite@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

Right now it's shouting over the fence to talk between Kbin and Lemmy, it's a bit clunky and buggy. Hopefully that fence can over time lower and be completely removed as the code gets better and better. Looking forward to having a great time with you guys!

[-] cloaker@kbin.social 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

True, but a lot works well. I can browse subs through the front page or sub really easily on KBin. I'm not a fan of how every federated sub says owned by @ernest though.

Fediverse life is prospering and I already feel like my doom scrolling days are behind me :)

[-] cloaker@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

Mine are just re-beginning

Oh yeah, that reminds me, I gotta go walk the robot dog

[-] sik0fewl@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I can't wait until we live in a future where robot dogs can walk themselves.

That's lemmygrad if they could just try one more time

[-] spicy_biscuits@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Life has been good since the federation spun back up. I love that our little community isn't restricted to just the content we produce on our own.

[-] governa@fosstodon.org 23 points 2 years ago

@tauonite hello from mastodon 👋 message received!

[-] DamnCatOnMyDesk@mstdn.social 11 points 2 years ago

@governa @tauonite It never ceases to amaze me that all these wildly different Fediverse platforms can seamlessly communicate like this.

[-] governa@fosstodon.org 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

@DamnCatOnMyDesk @tauonite it's wonderful isn't it? almost magical :ablobcatrainbow: :fediverse:
reminds me of Nokia's iconic tagline: "connecting people".

[-] cloaker@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

How do you (easily) browse KBin from Mastodon?

[-] DamnCatOnMyDesk@mstdn.social 4 points 2 years ago

@cloaker @tauonite @governa Unfortunately it's not currently easy to do that on Mastodon since we're limited to hashtag and account name searches. The best we can do is follow communities which appear as group accounts on Mastodon.

We've got hookers and beer over here. What do you have?

[-] freebrick@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago

I think they have access to our federated hookers and federated beers.

[-] Nepenthe@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago

Not bad, not bad. Taking a break from designing a little crochet dice bag I'm gifting someone. Really shouldn't be bragging about literally a bag, but multicolored swirly patterns require the most basic math skills and math is hard when you've got terminal brain damage

[-] sab@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

As a knitter, making anything with only one needle seems like rocket science.

[-] Nepenthe@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Right? I started out knitting and I have to say it's kinda more fun for me. It's very zen, even though knitting patterns tend to be more complex. But it's harder to shape things that way and to make features quite as defined, so WAY more stuffed animals, etc. are crochet and that's what I wanted to make. I was forced to learn. I did not choose this life.

99% of either one is just muscle memory. It's frustrating and I'm not gonna pretend like my first crochet project didn't end in 3 do-overs and at least one frustrated crying fit. But it's really a question of sheer stubbornness while you get the motions down

Not gonna lie, it's pretty awesome over here.

[-] regal@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago

Now that things have settled down a bit, the mobile site for kbin is pretty quick and there's a lot of new content. I'm sure the updates will keep coming and it should be interesting to see how it develops over the next months.

[-] Naminreb@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I pinned the mobile site to my homepage in the iPhone, and it feels like an actual app.

The icon is on the spot that was vacated by Reddit, which has now moved to the container where FB, Instagram and Twitter went to die. Twitter is actually not even there anymore.

[-] wave_walnut@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago

I feel like I'm 10 years younger.

[-] ReCursing@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

Yeah I like it here. How's Lemmy? What, to you, makes Lemmy preferable to Kbin?

[-] tal@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

Lemmy makes its image previews proportional rather than squashing them into a square, as kbin presently does, for one.

[-] ReCursing@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

Well that's a thing! I had noticed that but not thought much on it. i imagine Earnest has that on his todo list already, but there's a lot on there!

[-] tal@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Heh. Last I looked there were 49 open PRs for him to review. I dunno if he's going to have a chance to actually code himself if he has to also be reviewing all the patches people are sending him.

I also saw something recently saying that he handed off the server admin work to someone.

EDIT: Apparently he's not the only one reviewing.

What's funnier is that Kbin squashes them into a square and then seem to stretch that square into some strange almost 3:2 landscape format.

I tried to add some custom CSS with Tampermonkey to fix the thumbnails, and was extremely confused until I realised what was happening.

It's awesome to be able to comment and interact across instances

The Beauty of Fediverse!

[-] masterspace@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Do comments go across instances? I can see that posts can but I'm still not clear on whether comments sections for federated posts are separate or merged or what

[-] VulcanSphere@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Comments are posted across instances, although sometimes it will be delayed in sync (especially when there is a lot of traffic).

The best part about leaving reddit behind was that I could start over with a different username. My name over there was so negative and it didn't truly reflect who I am today...thanks to LSD.

[-] sab@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

Hopefully over here we'll care a bit less about reputation points as well. The system for it is currently broken in kbin, and I can't say it's a great loss.

[-] McBinary@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago
[-] Ultra980@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

It's pretty cool.

[-] Steampunk@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Nice to see you

[-] TerabyteRex@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

kbin works great. i couldnt get signed up for lemmy

[-] chillicampari@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

@tauonite Hello and nice to see you! I couldn't look here much the last few days but it seems like we are federating again which is great!

[-] readbeanicecream@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Life is good, so far.

[-] polaroid@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Chill as usual.

[-] MeowKittyWow@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

It's good. I'm on a lemmy instance too, not sure which I prefer, but so far more active here. I appreciate that it doesn't really matter which I use.

[-] HidingCat@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Really liking it so far. Federation isn't perfect but I'd say me being able to see this is at least a small win?

[-] SeatBeeSate@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

It's good over here! Our news sorting actually works!

[-] spicy_biscuits@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

It's going pretty good mayne! She's crashing a lot, but that's understandable due to the drastic uptick in userbase. Day 1 on kbin was great, got high hopes for day 2 ✌️
