Did ad blockers survive YouTube's offensive? Letting numbers talk
  • Oh, I didn't know about the bot. So I guess that's Piped (https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped) which is a frontend like invidious (https://github.com/iv-org/invidious) and usually when it doesn't work switching instance should do the job.

    Newpipe is a different project: https://newpipe.net/

    On desktop you can also use FreeTube: https://freetubeapp.io/

  • I'm confused about "new pipe links".

    Newpipe is an app. Do you have trouble setting it as a default app for youtube links?

  • Dove sono? Dove vado?
  • L'immagine ha funzionato :)

    Su kbin? Su feddit? Su entrambi?

    Mah...

    The new translation feature doesn't seem to work
  • I have the same problem. I also tried installing the languages in troubleshoot mode but I got the same message.

    It seems like it doesn't even try to connect, the message appears instantly when I click on install.

    No problem with Firefox.

  • YSK: a few ways to watch YouTube videos without using youtube.com
  • I'm using SmartTube on my TvBox and live in fear it will stop working xD

    There's also a component for foobar2000 (yes, I'm GenX) called Youtube Source. You can search content, add results to foobar playlists and see the video (embedded in the skin or on a different window). Sometimes the video doesn't load but restarting foobar it's usually enough.

  • Share your CSS and JS snippets here
  • I'm not sure if this is fine but since it wasn't active on every page I've added an asterisk on row 7 like this:
    // @match https://kbin.social/*
    and it seems to work.

  • what imgur alternatives do you use to share images?
  • It's also a fedi software, so pixelfed accounts show up in the microblog tab here on kbin if they are federated.

  • Please help with the basics of subscribing to remote communities. (Many ways to do it wrong, included)
  • You have to search with an @ instead of the !

    Here you go: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

    For the time being, the "owner" of new remote communities is always @ernest because he is the instance admin.

  • With all of the instances having different URL's, what's the best way to "google" a question and get Lemmy instance answers?
  • Aaand I've searched "best blender" and I found out it's... THE SOFTWARE!

    Now that's a fedi answer 😎👍

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • That works for lemmy but it doesn't seem to be available on kbin yet.

  • muting instances/communities, community description to top of page
  • also, is it possible to move the community/magazine description to the top of the page rather than the bottom, as infinite scrolling makes it a bit tedious to unsubscribe or subscribe to communities

    Not sure if it works for everybody but on mobile a tap on the top left kbin logo opens the sidebar so you don't have to scroll all the way down.

  • Beehaw is defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, two large lemmy instances
  • I didn't know about UDP xD

    I remember being on Usenet but at the time I think the average user would have little to no knowledge on how the system worked. You just had to choose a server after reading a few guides and there was no rush.

    I like how federation works but right now people come here with different expectations and when it occurs in waves I think it's too stressful.

  • Beehaw is defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, two large lemmy instances
  • Uh.. that's unfortunate because many will just interpret it as federation being bad and will go back to reddit preaching against fedi.

    That being said it could also be a reason for admins to have conversations about how to deal with these migrations and which moderation tools they need.

  • Looks like federation is working again!
  • It matters if 2 users have the same nickname.

  • So I've created a magazine. How do I decide whether to add an "article" vs a "post"
  • @Nepenthe I think on #kbin as it looks right now a microblog post could be easily missed if the magazine is very active but the thing is that when federation works they could also go on all the federated microblogging instances and on the home of the followers. This way they could get "points" from favs and boosts and be more visible here as well.

    They could also be useful to comment realtime events, even though this will probably be a problem for the rest of the fediverse because here you don't need to put an hashtag and it's not easy for people to selectively mute them so they would probably mute the user.

  • What daily games, like Wordle, do you play regularly?
  • Nice! Last time I heard about it Spotify was shutting it down.

  • Gimme karma
  • Meta - I'm too old to get this meme without wondering about the reading order Every. Single. Time. xD

    Is there a quick way to see a list of subscribed magazines?

    The list of subscribed magazines is available in profile/subscriptions as a list of contacts but is that the only way to see them?

    I struggle going back to specific ones when I want to check new submissions and clicking on "Subscribed" in https://kbin.social/magazines switches to all threads.
