This site is getting better everyday, big shout out to @ernest , you’re doing a fantastic job :)

I think some kind of user polled for a feature wishlist would really help you getting a grasp on what the users on kbin are eager to see on this site and maybe point out things that would improve it a lot and make an overall continually better user experience( kinda like a “ticketing system” for you/ people working on the project).

This should be as simple as possible, maybe there can/ should be different sections for UI, site functions, etc. so maybe important functional points won’t get swepped under the rug by, but maybe someone with knowledge on this things can elaborate on this.

keep it up and take care :)

    Hey ernest, quick question about federation. I setup /m/genart, and I set the tags to follow (eg. GenerativeArt). On my mastodon account I can see many more posts tagged with GenerativeArt than what shows up in the microblog. Is this expected? and how can I improve it? I’m currently working through following the same accounts as my old masto account.

    re: feature requests -> #1 thing I’d love to see is the ability to migrate accounts, so I can port my followers from my old masto account to my new kbin account :))

    Anyway, I know you’re busy af, so I’m not expecting a response. No pressure. Love the site and thanks for all your hard work!

      @aebrer Hey, in order for tagged content to appear on the microblog, either you or someone else on the instance needs to follow the author of the post. kbin is designed to create a network of mutual friends. We recently experienced stability issues, and some messages may not have reached the instances. Please try following those accounts again. Some instances may still temporarily block us due to Cloudflare protection. If that doesn’t help, send me a private message, and I’ll verify what’s going on.

      I also hope that migrations in various directions will be established soon.

      Starting today, I can afford to answer a few new questions and a few from my backlog. That’s what I can handle at the moment. Hopefully, I’ll be able to be here more frequently soon :)

        Awesome thank you so much for the detailed response! I will keep making progress refollowing my network then :))

        One thing to possibly note: it seems there’s something weird about the federation with mastodon.art; no one shows up from that server when you search for them
