daredevil, en /kbin RTR#8 The update of kbin.social and plans for the near future

Congrats on pushing out the update! Liking what I see so far. Can't wait to see what else is in store.

edit: I mentioned this in a separate thread, but I was wondering if we'll also be getting a changelog from yourself or another user? The posts have been very nice to have, but I wouldn't want to impose an unnecessarily large workload onto a single person.

I looked through the codeberg commits and this is what I could gather:

  • Duplicate articles are grouped
  • Users can apply to be mods
  • Abandoned magazines can be taken over
  • Global/instance moderators
  • Accounts can be temporarily suspended
  • Magazine deletion
  • Comment textbox is at the top by default and can be moved
  • Magazine CSS can be disabled
  • Edited posts and comments are marked like on Reddit
  • API
  • Blocked magazines are filtered out of the dropdown when creating a new thread
  • Microblog posts can be pinned
  • Maximum character limits are displayed
  • Show Password button
  • The 'boost' text is colored when active
  • Account deletion button is more clear and obvious
  • Federation page listing defederated instances
    • Seems to not be enabled on kbin.social yet though?
  • Removed the "how to use the editor" button as it wasn't doing anything
  • Users can request their account activation email be resent
  • Users can customize the site's CSS in their settings
  • New option to disable avatars in comments
  • Improved email styling
  • Robots.txt (policy for search engine crawlers and chatgpt)
  • Logged out users cannot initiate federation with new users and magazines anymore
  • 2FA
  • Clearer wording for the direct link copy options

@ernest as always, feel free to reach out for help on moderation tooling design.

@ernest@kbin.social avatar

Thanks, as soon as I get a handle on the current mess, I know where to find you. I also forgot to mention the organization of the moderation team and the introduction of tools that will help breathe life into abandoned magazines. That's in the next few days.

Despite of what some people said in other posts, I think that the devlog is really great to give us some visibility of what is being done behind the scene and, most of all, to be clear that /kbin development is not abandoned!

I'm really glad that you could overcome the challenges that life surprised you with, and that you're finding joy developing /kbin. Can't wait to see everything you've done and planning to do on the future!

As always, congrats and thanks for the great work @ernest!

Life can throw difficult challenges our way, but it's great to hear you're in a better place now. Excited for the upcoming update. Sending good vibes, too. The minor devlog posts will also be reassuring moving forward. It's nice to see the thought process behind problems that arise, as well as approaches and solutions.

Czy będzie też możliwość przeniesienia magazynu na inną instancję dzięki tej funkcji?

ernest,
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

To raczej obejmuje operację wewnątrz instancji. Przenoszenie magazynów to raczej przy pracy nad eksporterem / importerem kont użytkownika lub usprawnieniami federacji.

This is a much-needed functionality - thank you.

BTW, should this have been posted to /m/kbinDevlog or are you moving the daily updates to /m/kbinMeta?

@ernest@kbin.social avatar

Oh, my bad. Thanks!

Oh hello ! Music to my ears

roguetrick, en /kbin RTR#3 The role of a moderator at the instance level

Awesome, and needed, including on Kbin.social. Downpunxx posting genocide supporting nonsense on communities he's already banned from so it's only a nuisance to our users has been showing the need for instance level moderation.

@Ernest Another great and exciting update. This one looks like a much needed improvement and also, like your other recent merges, this is another one which should make your life easier going forwards, win win!
