I’ve seen a lot of lag and downtime from lemmy.world off and on. It seems like they get hit with DDoS or have maintenance issues (for lack of any real IT knowledge). I get the feeling they’re getting squeezed and targeted because they’re the flagship instance, but that’s just speculation on my part.
(Posting from kbin.social in case that matters.)
You can through kbin! There’s a nice discussion of it here.
You can add their name to your kbin url like this: https://kbin.social/d/social.bbc. It should open the page as if it were a kbin magazine and have a subscribe button. After that, you should see it when you browse your subscribed threads (although it seems like it won’t appear in your list of magazines).
I want this on a T-shirt.
That was an excellent EIL5
I’ve been toying with the idea of getting one of those. Would you do it again? Do you have any regrets or maybe wish you’d installed it on something else?
I don’t think there’s an app-app yet. I’ve read on here that kbin is fairly new, while lemmy has been around a lot longer.
What i’ve noticed is that each one is lacking something. I kind of like the layout of lemmy a bit more, but it doesn’t have the same capability of following people or communities from all over, and I don’t think you can follow users at all like in kbin and Mastodon. But kbin doesn’t have any way that I can find to save posts, which is something use a lot.
Same here!
I don’t think it’s exactly the same on lemmy – you can’t seem to sub to an entire instance, for example – but there’s at least some similar capability.
For instance, I’m on kbin right now, so when I click your user name I go to a kbin version of your lemmy.world profile page: https://kbin.social/u/@SubsAndDubs@lemmy.world. It has the option to block or follow you, which should show your posts in my kbin feed. As far as I know, Lemmy can’t do the same with kbin users. I haven’t found a way to follow other lemmy users either, except on kbin.
But on lemmy you can sub to lemmy or kbin communities, even if they’re on other instances. On lemmy.world, RedditMigration has the address https://lemmy.world/c/RedditMigration@kbin.social. So it seems to be a community there that just pulls in from the original at https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration@kbin.social. (No idea why it’s like this.)
So if your main instances was, say, beehaw.org, you would search for !RedditMigration and you’d see that community pop up in the results. You can subscribe to it that way and it would be in your subs list on beehaw. The same should be true of kbin magazines/communities.
It looks like each community on lemmy has their address posted next to the subscription box, so you can paste it into your lemmy.world search and sub to anything you want regardless which instance it’s on.
In theory this is going to work (maybe?) with other fedi services like Mastodon, but I suspect the admins and devs have to build a lot of things, so it may not be around for awhile.
Still works for me. You can search by the post title:
YSK that Kbin can subscribe not only to magazines and communities, but entire instances.
It was on m/kbinMeta
I don’t know if this is quite the same thing, but @kersploosh was waging a war on bot accounts. Maybe they have some inside or can come up with something in conjunction with the admins.
Edit: that’s @kersploosh @sh.itjust.works in case the one here is someone else.
When I was a kid in the '70s and '80s I can remember the front grill and windshield of our car being absolutely plastered with bugs. I mean like power wash to get them off plastered. Today it’s surprising if I have more than a handful of smudges on my windshield.
Don’t forget bats and bees!
😔
Foooook that’s awesome
Let’s be honest. Most of us have waited our entire lives for this moment. A hairy-breasted man with not one, not two, not three, but four nipples? And leg pigtails? If this is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Plot twist: those are trees and the mushrooms are next to a cliff
No shit. It’s either complete obliviousness or the most straight-faced trolling ever performed.
Is there a way yet to block an entire instance’s posts, or is that beyond what you can do as a user?
I want to live on a wolf farm! :-D
@SirNuke See if there’s a local bike project near you. There’s one near me that accepts donated bikes and refurbishes and sells them for fairly cheap or uses them for parts. They have all kinds of tools and workspace that you can use to work on your own stuff.
