What app do you use for Mastodon?
  • Yup! Tusky for sure, don't know about the other apps. The official app is great but missing many features still. Give Tusky a go if you decide to try Mastodon again!

  • What app do you use for Mastodon?
  • I bet it is the same reason that I had: can't follow or unfollow tags from official app (or atleast I haven't found a way to do so, please help).

  • Best way the follow the Ukraine - Russia War without Reddit ?
  • ukraine community over at sopuli is great if you sort by new, just trying to get more traction there in the form of people commenting. Posts for info, comments for fun.

  • Multireddits would work better in Lemmy than in Reddit.
  • Yup! I'm pretty excited for what's going to happen in the next 2 months! As for the timelines: Could be, there are two threads discussing this. Here is the second one.

    Personally I'm up for anything, I'd just like to stop constantly switching between 5 communities that are all the same but on different instances.

  • Multireddits would work better in Lemmy than in Reddit.
  • This is possibly in the works I believe. They are currently discussing about the implementation and what additional things it could bring to the table that would make it work even better (for example somehow integrate the idea with Mastodon hashtags).

    The link I provided is old, but there is still active discussion and many more contributors, so we could see this happening soon!

  • How many of you are really into minimalism alongside Simple living?
  • No, it doesn't! I bet many of us had the same experience :)

  • What are 2000 employees doing at Reddit?
  • I didn't know this was a thing... I thought it was just me.

  • How many of you are really into minimalism alongside Simple living?
  • I'm so sorry about the post settings... Didn't realize that affects federation!

    And I agree, I couldn't read or watch anything related to the topic after realizing it's seen as a goal. I do see it as a great starting point into being more mindful of the life around you.

    Thank you for taking the time to rewrite your answer!

  • How many of you are really into minimalism alongside Simple living?
  • I am so sorry I did not realize Kbin does that... no wonder I've had issues. I usually post on my lemmy account but have really been liking kbin lately. Seems I don't even have an option to post with "undefined" language.

    Now, you put it exactly how I feel about this topic! I got into it from a blog post, checked out the infamous "minimalists" and Marie Kondo, but felt like the message is the same and feels like they are just trying to make a lot of money on the concept of minimalism after the first two paragraphs of text. Be it podcast, netflix show or anything else.

    The great thing I got from it all was the mentality against consumerism. I didn't realize how social media conditioned me to follow the latest trends and buy the newest gadgets.

    Thanks for your awesome response (and sorry about the post settings).

  • How many of you are really into minimalism alongside Simple living?

    To me it all started with bumping into r/minimalism years ago (shoutout to [email protected], the migrated r/minimalism) and reading books about it.

    I noticed that with minimalism came simple living, enjoying the small things in life. I often feel like they are interconnected due to this, but this could just be my experience.

    How many others had a similar experiences, or did something else bring you here? Also welcome experiences about directly searching for simple living topics and bumping into this community (originally on reddit).

    Seems like federation is broken again?
  • Lemmy has been running for 4 years (don't know how long they developed it before releasing the first beta), Kbin barely for 2 months. Just putting that out there! Love both though.

  • What Reddit features do you *not* want kbin to have?
  • Nevermind, cleared cache and refreshed the page and set them again to display and then hide again - you are right it's broken. Hopefully they fix it soon.

  • Say hi to Caena, my willbender!
  • Oh wow lovely!! So good that I might end up comissioning one too.. thanks for the link to the artist!

  • What Reddit features do you *not* want kbin to have?
  • Thats strange.. works for me on latest firefox browser.

  • What Reddit features do you *not* want kbin to have?
  • I personally liked the gold-silver awards, but felt like adding million award options really cluttered the UI. But I agree it's a great way to get some money for server hosting.

  • What Reddit features do you *not* want kbin to have?
  • Don't know if you mean that profile pictures hiding should be a magazine specific setting, but you personally can hide profile pictures (and magazine logos) in your side bar settings.

  • [Fashion Wars] Norn Warrior
  • Looking good! Love the mount coloring.

  • Does anyone know a good site where i can get all the SIEMENS PLC softwares like the old v.8 LOGOS and so on. (Din't found anything similar in the megathread)
  • There used to be direct links on plcman forums (.co.uk) but I believe they stopped maintaining the forums and none of the links work anymore. Sadly I haven't been able to successfully find any cracks / cracked licenses for PLC software in a long time and don't work in the automation industry anymore.

    If you are working in an automation company, for siemens software you can still pretty much do the old: install on a virtual machine, move licenses, shutdown virtual machine, copy paste virtual machine -routine since the license manager still doesn't connect to any online sources to check.

  • Would anyone else find a "Local" filter useful?
  • This hasn't been documented (and I haven't tested), but I'm fairly certain that on user level you can't block your comments and posts from getting federated with other instances. That would be instance-admin level settings.

    The federation on/off button should only hide federated content from you, but I'm not sure if it even applies to the stuff that has already been loaded into your feed, as I still see some content from other instances if I turn it off, but could be due to other kbin users who have commented on the thread so you'd only see kbin users comments.

    Still waiting for bit more documentation on kbin, but I'm sure a lot of it will change as ernest and other contributors work on the code.

  • Hey keebinetters and fediverse, what are your favourite kbin/fediverse magazines (communities)?
  • It takes awhile to get into it, but you'll get there!

    The biggest difference with syntax is that lemmy uses the !exclamation mark and kbin uses the @at sign to link communities.

  • I personally think that in the past year all the gemstore "chairs" they have designed are ridiculously cool.

    You can see who downvoted a post or a comment. How does this translate to other fediverse instances, such as Mastodon?

    I'm quite new to the fediverse, and noticed that on kbin you can actually see who downvoted a post or a a comment (and not only your own posts and comments), by clicking on the "activity" button.

    My question is, how does this translate to Mastadon? I haven't seen a "reduce" button and was wondering if it is the same as "block" or "mute" on Mastodon?

    Hey keebinetters and fediverse, what are your favourite kbin/fediverse magazines (communities)?

    Lets make a thread to post our niches that we have found here. Big magazines are ok too.

    I'll start: /m/mechanicalkeyboards, so glad it migrated here!

    Edit: You can add a direct fediverse link (so that any users from any fediverse instance looking at this post can click on it) with the following two methods:

    Click on the "link" button in the text editor, or manually write in the following format (all together):

    [ /m/mechanicalkeyboards ] ( https://kbin.social/m/mechanicalkeyboards )

    OR (all together):

    @ mechanicalkeyboards @ kbin.social

    Edit 2: magazine / community names are case-sensitive apparently, mind the uppercase letters!

    To celebrate GW2 community coming to fediverse, I'd like like to continue the tradition of complaining about the light pollution in this game (character not mine)
