She’s painful to listen to. Can’t string a clear sentence together and laughs constantly. Not inspiring or particularly incisive. Which is a particularly disappointing combo when Biden is the same.

Oh interesting, so are downvote counts only reflective of what my individual server has received? I assumed they at least federated between kbin and Lemmy even if the rest of fedi didn’t have a way to understand them.

But what are upvotes and downvotes? I would have assumed upvote is fave/star. Is downvote an emoji react?

As far as I know it’s stored on both. Generally anything federated gets stored in multiple servers.

I knew about commenting, but I’m really surprised that you can make posts too. That would be like posting to the Local feed on another fedi server. Wild

Ok I’ll have to try that tomorrow, cool.

Interesting, thanks. I don’t see it when I look there though.

So maybe it’s still local but it’s being attributed to a remote magazine?

Do you mean like another kbin instance?

I’m also asking about remote Lemmy communities but I’m not sure if it matters or not, so my question may only apply to remote Kbin instances

the ‘4D Chess defense’. we can’t keep saying that mistakes are actually intentional when there are so many examples of the mistakes, being made for the same reasons, by the same types of people (out of touch CEOs with terrible judgment)

if other fedi projects are any indication, likely a unified API will develop. Mastodon’s API is supported by most other fedi projects, so you can use mobile apps interchangeably. If Lemmy becomes dominant then kbin would have to implement an API to match.

Missing replies has been a problem across fediverse for a while. There are some ways to mitigate it but they can be resource intensive. For example Akkoma fetches the missing replies when you open up a thread. It contacts the originating server’s API (not ActivityPub) and requests the details for the thread. It works pretty well but I’m not sure it would scale for Lemmy/kbin which is going to be designed for huge threads.

I hope a good solution is figured out and maybe even can be implemented by other software projects across fedi.
