@GeekFTW@kbin.social

(He/Him)

Geek. Gamer. Data hoarder. Eldritch Horror hidden in a geeky t-shirt. Canadian. Polite, but says 'cunt' like an Australian. Avid pirate, worships unfathomable space gods that may drive you crazy.

If you see this username on other instances, it's almost certainly me on an alt. Kbin.social is my main home.

Mastodon - https://universeodon.com/@GeekFTW

If I own a magazine you want to own/mod, please dm me! I'm im the process of claiming/deleting old unused mags sitting around kbin.

RTR#43 Break time (kbin.social) en

I just got back from a over five-hour walk with my dog. I had promised him that for a long time, and both of us really needed it ;-) Now, a quick lunch, and I still have an evening workout ahead of me. Today, I decided to take a break from coding, although I probably won't resist doing something, and at night I'll probably tweak...

If it's anything related to Lemmy's software version (I seem to recall that can cause issues with compatibility to us?) for extra info, the 2 lemmy instances I'm using when checking (lemmy.zip and dbzer0) both look to be on 0.18.5 of their software.

Also having the same thing happen over on /m/SquaredCircle for what it's worth. Just noticed last night after a particularly slow day. Logged into my lemmy.zip alt and noticed nothing for near 48h had come across from kbin. Checked another alt on another lemmy instance and it was more or less the same there too.

It moved? Guess I can remove that tampermonkey script then lol

Be wary of spiteful Reddit users (kbin.social) en

In the past week and a half, I've noticed Reddit behaviors starting to try and poison all of the places that people are taking refuge in to get away from the toxicity, myself included. They've started to DDoS Lemmy for a while, which is a Reddit thing to do and what they're notorious of doing whenever they feel they don't like...

The fucking irony lol.

That's because we don't have Instance blocking on kbin. We have domain blocking, which is not the same thing nor does it provide the same function.

Instance blocking is supposed to be coming soon however according to comments on codebase (no idea on an ETA).

GeekFTW,
@GeekFTW@kbin.social avatar

No. That's what the instance block will do when we get it. Right now with the domain block, the point of it is for example, say you hate imgur.com. Why? Doesn't matter, you just do. You can block the imgur domain so nothing from imgur, regardless of where it's posted, will appear in your feed on kbin. If I post a picture linked from imgur on m/gaming, you won't see it when you browse that magazine.

If you try to block an instance with that same method, posts and comments still come through fine. I've blocked a bunch of European instances due to language issues but the posts still sometimes comes through regardless (and many other people have commented saying the same over the last month, hence why we'll be getting a proper instance block soonish).

Jokes on them either way, been on Reddit for 12 years and I haven't bought a fuckin' award or coin or nft or dingle-dangle or bingle-bongle from Reddit yet and that ain't changing today lol

Microblogging Platform with an Algorithm (kbin.social) en

When I tried Mastodon, I found I couldn't get the content I'm interested in there. I'm not really interested in following specific people; instead I want to see posts that fit my interests, regardless of who made them. Hence (apparently very unpopular on the Fediverse), I actually want an algorithm that can create a personalized...

instead I want to see posts that fit my interests, regardless of who made them.

Follow hashtags then? I mean I'm following a good 40 or so people so far, largely newsy type things, but I've followed dozens and dozens of different hashtags so whatever gets posted with them pops up in my feed.

No need to go following Generic Mastodon User Who Likes Transformers™ when I can just follow to see my dumb robo pics lol

Not sure if there's an addon or anything, but there's no native way to do this that I've seen.

Users can absolutely be blocked, and at least on kbin you can also block instances and magazines as a whole as well
