By the way @ernest, it looks like the API has not been properly set up on kbin.social - probably an issue with the public/private key set up. I got a 500 error attempting to visit /api/entries

At least one mistake in there though, since you can definitely block instances in Kbin too. It’s not the most obvious though.

Also:

• kbin does have an instance wide moderation log in the footer: https://kbin.social/modlog
• kbin supports markdown, though it does not have a preview feature yet
• kbin allows you to block users just like you can block magazines and domains, though there is no way to filter specific words (yet)
• (probably a few more, but those were the ones that I noticed)

Yeah, it definitely is not a drop in for Lemmy’s API, so if Sync were to support my API for kbin it would be an additional layer for them to add.

I’ve been working on the API, and it is pretty much feature complete (barring feedback) and should be entering review very soon.

Fedia is just another kbin instance, not really a fork. It is tracking the development branch a bit closer than kbin.social, but it’s still the same repo

Lemmy stores who upvoted what but does not make it easily available to everyone like kbin does - you can set up a Lemmy instance to grab upvoted and read them from the DB if you are so inclined, or you could just look at kbin to see the same info

There will be, https://kbin.social/m/artemisapp

Love it! Kbinaut Kibby is adorable =)

Looking in ImageRepository.php it doesn’t appear that images have their extra data stripped. Also testing it on my dev instance showed that GPS data remained in the image. Should be an easy fix since all image uploads are processed through that repository.

Edit: In fact there’s already an issue open for it - https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/374

YouTube Revanced is a replacement for the Vanced app that is less likely to get taken down since it doesn’t distribute YouTube assets

Only on kbin, on lemmy that doesn’t exist (yet)

kbin has the ability to see activity including upvotes, boosts, and downvotes from the UI for entries, comments, and microblogs

I believe those would be posts from kbin users on those Lemmy communities, I noticed the same when I turn of federation

Language filtering is in progress right now, hopefully it can make it soon to help alleviate those pain points - most of my blocklist is due to posts being in languages I don’t speak as well

Since ‘kbinaut’ is a fairly frequently suggested name for people on kbin, a suggestion I have for a bit of extra fun would be to add an astronaut helmet (kbirdnaut?)

Also right birb best birb, but both are very cute

Apollo is getting a spiritual successor for kbin in the form of https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp, so you may not have to remember all the formatting rules for long

A feature we’ll definitely want to have with kbin in the future is the ability to migrate accounts to other instances. That would mean that even though we’re centralizing on kbin.social right now, people could move to other instances and spread the load across the fediverse without losing their history

You can block domains if you click on the domain next to the post, go to the sidebar and block it like a magazine

It basically uses the same methods of submitting content as the website does, reading the entirety of the webpage in the process. It’s much less efficient than using an API, but it’s possible

Not yet, see https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/357
