Agree, we also discussed about this here.

Yup! Tusky for sure, don’t know about the other apps. The official app is great but missing many features still. Give Tusky a go if you decide to try Mastodon again!

I bet it is the same reason that I had: can’t follow or unfollow tags from official app (or atleast I haven’t found a way to do so, please help).

ukraine community over at sopuli is great if you sort by new, just trying to get more traction there in the form of people commenting. Posts for info, comments for fun.

Yup! I’m pretty excited for what’s going to happen in the next 2 months! As for the timelines: Could be, there are two threads discussing this. Here is the second one.

Personally I’m up for anything, I’d just like to stop constantly switching between 5 communities that are all the same but on different instances.

This is possibly in the works I believe. They are currently discussing about the implementation and what additional things it could bring to the table that would make it work even better (for example somehow integrate the idea with Mastodon hashtags).

The link I provided is old, but there is still active discussion and many more contributors, so we could see this happening soon!

Lemmy has been running for 4 years (don’t know how long they developed it before releasing the first beta), Kbin barely for 2 months. Just putting that out there! Love both though.

There used to be direct links on plcman forums (.co.uk) but I believe they stopped maintaining the forums and none of the links work anymore. Sadly I haven’t been able to successfully find any cracks / cracked licenses for PLC software in a long time and don’t work in the automation industry anymore.

If you are working in an automation company, for siemens software you can still pretty much do the old: install on a virtual machine, move licenses, shutdown virtual machine, copy paste virtual machine -routine since the license manager still doesn’t connect to any online sources to check.

This hasn’t been documented (and I haven’t tested), but I’m fairly certain that on user level you can’t block your comments and posts from getting federated with other instances. That would be instance-admin level settings.

The federation on/off button should only hide federated content from you, but I’m not sure if it even applies to the stuff that has already been loaded into your feed, as I still see some content from other instances if I turn it off, but could be due to other kbin users who have commented on the thread so you’d only see kbin users comments.

Still waiting for bit more documentation on kbin, but I’m sure a lot of it will change as ernest and other contributors work on the code.

Awhile ago we had this awesome thread going on where people could tell us about their favourite magazines (and some were created on the spot):

https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin/t/13198/Hey-keebinetters-and-fediverse-what-are-your-favourite-kbin-fediverse-magazines

The syntax for @ signed magazines seems to be a bit broken, right click the link and press “open in a new tab” to get there, or alternatively use this link: /m/Tardigrades

Adding a pic (click to enlarge):

Isn’t that what the “Federation On | Off” setting basically does?

On your sidebar, next to the settings gear there is the connection-icon and you can turn off federation so that you only see magazines and content only from your local instance.

Damn that was a quick answer, appreciate it ernest!

@Shortcake @man0fbass I guess you guys should privately message ernest to resolve these issues.
You can private message by going to his account page and click on the “send a message” on the side bar of that page.

• Here is my legacy and burden which I leave to you:
  -– 20 year old Visual Basic application

Yeah I understand, I’m bit hesitant to ping ernest since his hands are absolutely full, but maybe the question OP and you have really could use an answer so that we could do something about this. Hey @ernest , if you see this, is it possible to:

1. Hand down a magazine ownership to another user
2. give ownership of an instance to another user if the original owner has gone MIA?

I know that on lemmy admins of an instance can hand over a community on that instance to another person. Wonder if it is the same on kbin?

Ah sorry I looked at your question again and noticed I misread your question. No idea why that one instance was blocked.

AFAIK there were trolls commenting and harassing beehaw communities from .world and lemmy (I believe also Kbin) lack proper moderation tools to counter that. Supposedly it’s only temporarily blocked until those required tools are implemented.

Hey thanks for the tip! I also felt like fediverse was being suppressed by google, but wasn’t sure whether thats the case or does google just need time to properly index these sites.
