Is there any chance that we can get a weekly/biweekly, or periodic, update on what is new with kbin? @ernest has done a couple in the past. I doubt I would be the only one interested in hearing what is new or what is coming down the pipe more on a regular basis....
The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. The article describes it as "the official end of the battle," which seems an overstatement to me, but it's the certainly the end of the initial phase....
I tend to agree with the sentiment here that we are all the winners for having discovered and are still using kbin, a platform that most wouldn't have even known about before Reddit's shenanigans. Though, I want to point out that total user activity on kbin is down 7,000 people since about 10 days ago...
It seems people are either going back, or are abandoning for Lemmy because of their abundance of mobile apps. Artemis is a decent kbin app, and is almost ready to release for public beta now that the API is complete (just waiting on integration) - though I fear it needs to happen sooner than later if we are to retain the userbase.
Yeah. that is probably true for many since we all came looking for an alternative due to the loss of our mobile app... Lemmy is a little more mature since it's been around a lot longer, so it already had an API to build on. @Rideranton has been working on an API and has several pending pull requests to implement one. I truly believe kbin is a better software so I'm hoping that the API sparks more dev interest.
i have been working through the stages of grief over my dear, departed friend reddit. many years we spent together. it has been clear though, that the reddit governance committees that now exist in the corporate ether have different priorities than those priorities that governed its creation....
Considering the level of coordination it takes to make anything cohesive on those, let's see spez try and downplay us again with 'only a small percentage of users'.
Does the option to add an image via URL not work? I have tried in both Brave and Firefox desktop browsers and the Brave mobile app - clicking the "From URL" or "Upload File" doesn't appear to do anything....
Yep. Got a ton of errors... It happens a lot here. I deleted all but 1.
"We are working on resolving the issues
Over the next few days, there will be a change in server infrastructure. Temporary problems with the website's functionality may occur during this time."
Applying gold and awards will hold posts on the frontpage even if they're downvoted to oblivion. They're likely getting rid of them as a way of manipulating the narrative.
I went to reddit a little while ago to check on the status of my favored reddit app, and past the top 15 or so posts is the same shit I saw days ago. New content there has seriously dropped off.
Then you block them. Individually at first. If there is a whole instance of them, like exploding-heads or lemmygrad, then you nuke their whole instance and move on.
