On my self-hosted instance since communities need to be searched first before they show up I tried using the normal Lemmy format for kbin but noticed for the first time you must format it like this: kbin.social/m/*magazine* (or whatever kbin instance if not that one). Even if not self-hosting this can apply to kbin mags that are fairly niche/new and may have to do that for it to show up especially on smaller instances

That or another DNS server

Yea somehow selling the company off at a massive loss will be his “high IQ business plan” and not what it really is: the result of him committing to a deal, realizing it was a bad idea but then being forced to go through with it so he pretended he did it for “muh freeze peach”. I almost wonder if the reason he’s been pandering to the right is gonna to run for office for something like Governor of Texas and use that as a grift to recoup his losses from his Twitter blunder, though that’s speculation going to conspiracy theory territory.

Sometimes, when they first met Violet did not like Pumpkin at all. Out other cat Midnight had passed soon before and we found Pumpkin around the same time and I think she didn’t like having a new cat “replace” one that had passed, but that ofc wasn’t the intent. We found Pumpkin a bit before Midnight died and he was scared and mewing so loud, he was not more than 4 months old when we found him. We fed him and slowly gained his trust and while at first he was scared of us pretty soon he let us hold him and since it was getting near wintertime and after midnight died we knew we were gonna have to bring Pumpkin inside.

seriously, distributing the load helps a LOT. Though if you can’t spin up your own instance one thing you can do is try and host pictures externally, in !youshouldknow[email protected] a post mentioned how to do it for images in comments since by default it has you upload if you don’t manually put in ![image](link)

Thanks, I couldn’t see all the cute kitties here without sharing mine, that would just be wrong

Wonder if there’s a magazine/community on Kbin or Lemmy.

It has to do with the subreddit r/196 where they have a “rule” of posting something if you visit. They migrated to [email protected] and the subreddit is closed to new posts.

On kbin they call them magazines.

yea really either kbin or lemmy is fine, to me it seems more about what works best for you, hell some people are fine with using mastodon and just dealing with the jank of reading threaded posts there because they only want to follow a few communities. Also yea I’m using a cheap VPS with 2 vCPUs, 2GB RAM, and 40GB SSD storage and it is just fine for a single user instance

Part of it is that Lemmy instances are dealing with a major influx of new users and it’s causing server issues. I decided to avoid that and the defederation drama and fired up my own instance. I’m kind of curious if I could use another server to run a kbin instance and just have it be kbin.captainapathetic.cfd instead, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, considering doing it for Mastodon too.

I feel like federation let’s this basically be what many want reddit to be, a platform by the userbase, for the userbase.

From what I understand as long as it’s a Federated activitypub based instance like Mastodon, kbin, and Lemmy they can communicate between each other but the platforms can have issues presenting the data from other ones in a way that makes sense.

Yea I figured out about the subscribing thing (also hi from my working self hosted instance!), wish someone made a way to have a bot subscribe to communities en masse to populate the instance. Maybe I can learn to code and make it myself 😂

Tbh I have no idea how to use git other than clone 😂, I ended just resetting the VPS and trying UberDuck77’s script and that did the trick. Maybe now I should learn to code so I can make a bot account to mass subscribe to communities to populate my instance

I haven’t really used kbin but I’m wondering if that could bridge the gap since it has features from both.
