@gracjan@fishcharlie@christianselig I recently started using #Kbin on first interaction it seems better than #lemmy, certainly has better integration with other Fedi group platforms, like Friendica Forums, Lemmy communities, Gup.pe groups, etc.in addition to their native "Magazines" @realcaseyrollins
#Bluesky now allows you to “choose your own algorithm”.
Which sounds “incredible” and “sci-fi”—but it really isn’t.
What it essentially does is give a Twitter-like service Reddit-like features.
As an aside, now I’m wondering why Reddit doesn’t offer an alternative web front-end to make it more Twitter-like!
But how does this apply to the #ActivityPub flavour of the #Fediverse? This feature now makes me realize how big a deal Fediverse groups are going to be, and if I were @Gargron, I’d be even more excited about rolling out Mastodon’s group functionality.
Because while groups aren’t exactly relevancy algorithms, once you add a “New”, “Hot”, “Best”, etc. feed to groups, now you’re in business.
I don’t know if choosing your own algorithm is the killer feature that Bluesky thinks it is. My experience is that most people hate choice. Nevertheless, I still thinks it’s important.
@atomicpoet I think #kbin magazines are also a good example of something similar to Bluesky's lists because they seem to work like subreddits but every user can create one choosing several hashtags to follow (and maybe other conditions? Not sure about that) and other people can subscribe so it's an interesting mix.
Like #Friendica, /kbin can ban trolls from participating in groups.
Unlike Friendica, you can remove posts local to where the group is hosted.
Unfortunately, the offending comments still appears in user timelines because other Fediverse servers do not delete after comments are removed locally.
Another alternative could be #Calckey which supports groups through "Channels". However these do NOT federate.
@ernest a szkoda. Dobrze by było, gdyby była gdzieś widoczna (a jeśli jest - to bardziej widoczna) informacja jak można wesprzeć twórcę tej świetnej platformy
Is it just me or have discussions on #Lemmy / #Kbin (aka Reddit-like corner of fedi) become longer and deeper since #Reddit started doing a stupid with third-party client API?
@rysiek I have noticed that if I boost an interesting thread from Lemmy instance, people from all over the fediverse are more likely to join the discussion. I think it's more natural than a group-boost-bot. As for #kbin, at this stage, I am very careful about choosing the places I write about the project. This is also the time when everyone can express their opinion on how platforms should communicate with each other, so I invite you to discuss https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/3 ;)
Tak na pierwszy ogień to wstaw jako title coś z żywca wyrwanego. Choćby taki oto tytuł z #kbin "Former Canadian conservative party leader says he was target of a Chinese government campaign of misinformation during 2021 elections"
@Decad3nce
Well there are some fediverse alternatives for Reddit. #Kbin is one of them, the team also works on a Flutter mobile app, maybe contribute there.
(kbin is very new)
Edit:
Some links that you might find interesting https://kbin.pub/en project's website https://kbin.social instance
It’s getting closer and closer. Soon enough groups from #mastodon, channels from #calckey, magazines from #kbin and forums from #discourse and #flarum will all talk to one another.
Unfortunately, the information funnel is a matter that affects all media, the Internet, press, television, etc. Even if the operator does not block anything, a person is not able to assimilate all information. And what if we add information noise and disinformation to this.
In the case of a narrow topic such as #fediverse, there is also the issue of its low popularity. There are simply no users on the Polish #kbin instance who could at least point out the mistakes made. And since man is constantly learning, or rather should be learning, I decided to move to international waters.
In the Polish instance I was spamming as grumpydev @grumpyDev
After a few hours spent with #astro, I can say that it is more pleasant to receive than #gatsby or #nuxt. Developer mode starts faster, hot reloading is no problem, build is also faster.
The biggest pain I caused myself, because I chose the standard approach to CSS for this framework. Lack of SASS or other preprocessor hurts a bit. However, I will not give up and will not install any.
The fight, I suppose, mainly with CSS has begun. Such a simple design probably won't even require extending Astro's functionality. The blog and subpages are already working, and there is nothing else there. Well, except for the contact form. https://bit.ly/3OGpVN8
Z tego co pamiętam to napisałem kiedyś w komentarzu, że coś pokroju #ui i #kbin ulepię dla rozprostowania palców.
Także siadłem sobie do tematu i skleciłem taki oto mix reddita, wypoka i innych tworów.
Prototyp, makieta, projekt, zwał jak zwał, tak czy owak jest częściowo klikalny. Brakuj jeszcze sporo rzeczy, komentarzy, strony ustawień, ludzi, magazynów, itd. Wrzutka trochę dla zmuszenia się do obadania alternatywnych rozwiązań i serwisów, w tym fediversowych.
Adobe XD to niestety trochę takie XD i trzeba własnoręcznie dopasować skalowanie makiety do ekranu. Najprościej zrobić to niezwykle zaawansowanym narzędziem jakim jest ctrl+scroll. Klecone było pod 4K/125% i stąd drobne niedogodności.
Footera tyż ni ma gdyż jego zawartość powinna trafić do aside z prostej przyczyny. Po aktywacji infinite scroll standardowa stopka jest dysfunkcjonalna.
And a kbin icon in #3d to complete the set. The mesh is far from perfect and the model itself is ridiculously simple, so there's no point in sharing the .blend file. #blender#kbin
