What happens with magazines that don't have tags set, like kbinMeta? It seems that kbin people can select a magazine when they make a new post but (I don't have a Mastodon account) do people from Mastodon have some way to make their post show up in kbinMeta's microblog section or follow kbinMeta's thread/microblog contents?

Thank you for looking into it. I tried subscribing again and it went through, and several threads just got through to kbinMeta over there, so I'll cautiously say it seems to be fixed now.

Glad to hear federation is being worked on, it does feel it needs to be more robust to live up to the promise that one gets the same experience no matter which instance (local or remote) one view a magazine from. (I'm not being critical, interoperability is always a hard problem no matter which stage of development it is)

Again, thanks for the good work and for bringing kbin to us!

It didn't log me out but when I submit a thread or comment sometimes the "Add comment" button doesn't "catch" the first time and I have to press it again. It gives me anxiety that it's being submitted twice, fortunately so far that has not happened yet.

 

I ask because I made an account on https://lemmy.zip and the kbin.social magazines there seems to have incomplete contents. e.g. [email protected] there only have one thread from 25 days ago. [email protected] there seemed more up-to-date but number of comments are still less than what I can see directly on kbin.social.

Another indication of trouble is that when I try to subscribe to a kbin.social magazine (like [email protected]) it is stuck on Subscribe Pending seemingly forever and does not transition to subscribed/joined status.

At first I thought it is a configuration problem on lemmy.zip or some recent version Lemmy incompatibility with kbin, but I was able to subscribe to [email protected] there fine and it seems to be getting updated contents.

So somehow traffic is not flowing smoothly between kbin.social and lemmy.zip.

@ernest, I hate to bother you but are you seeing something like this with other instances?

XFX is good too, no personal experience with Asrock GPU.

Sapphire is a good brand but pcpartpicker tells me that you can save 20-40+ bucks getting an XFX or Asrock 6700xt.

How did 30+ million people fell for this? 😲

Thanks. I tried to watch with subtitles off and predictably missed some of the conversation.

  • Still somewhat annoyed that there is no seat belt on the shuttle, even if it is to maintain continuity with TOS. M'Benga looked like he was going to bang his head and get a concussion when they were landing.

  • La'an: They won't see us coming.
    Zac: We totally saw you from the other side of the planet a hemisphere away.

  • What was Zac trying to accomplish? He lured them there with the Starfleet Delta, but he was not going to hitch a ride home. He expected whatever ship that comes to inspect to... forget and go away, or suffer some disastrous result when the crew become unable to function? Why not just stay low and be king if he wasn't planning to leave?

I wonder if one day Lemmy supports migration of communities whether this would become a problem. Do the mod own the subscriber list and can move it from one server to another without subscriber consent? Assuming the community on the original server will be deleted after migration, perhaps the migration process can include each subscriber given a (one-click) choice to move or unsubscribe. In addition there is the question whether mods are free to hand over a community to new mods if they want to.

Currently there are (is?) content-only servers like https://lemmit.online/ .

I have been thinking perhaps the idea can be carried further and we can separate the user-facing front end and the back end.

Imagine having multiple front end servers (e.g. fe1.site, fe2.site, ... fe5.site) all connecting to the same user database and the same back end server which serves the communities and contents etc (call it be.site for example). A user signs up once and can login to any front end server with the same account, create a community /c/whatever on e.g. fe3 and it will be accessible automatically on fe1-fe5.

This is in addition to the back end federating with outside servers. Outside sees the community as be.site/c/whatever and users there as be.site/u/whoever. (or maybe make an alias like www.site/c/whatever www.site/u/whoever).

Additional front end servers can be added to spread the load if there are many users. If done right the users shouldn't even need to choose (or be aware of) which front end server they log on to, it can be automatically load-balanced. Another idea would be that special front end servers can be created to only serve API calls for apps.

I'm not sure if this will have bottleneck somewhere else, but I think this is an interesting idea to explore.

Would there be any benefit to lemmy.world admins running a lemmy2.world and redirecting new users to sign up there? It would spread the load and federation between the two should be easier due to proximity and having the same admins.

 

Because on reddit clicking on the thread title takes you to the linked article and not the thread itself.

How many of you are like me, click on "nn comments" by habit, end up in the comments area and have to scroll back up to see whatever the OP posted?

(Not saying any of this is kbin's fault, it is just taking a bit of getting used to)
