garrettw87, in Don't you think kbin has really gone downhill since the good old days?

Lol. Good one

I got some basic theming set up at my magazine after looking up what CSS is.

Can you share your code for that? It looks really good! If you're okay with it, I'd like to copy it and tweak a bit for my own magazine.

Edit: Added a comment and updated the option bar to match the navbar.
Sure, here you go! I've never done anything like this before so it's probably a formatting disaster, but I've done my best to clean it a bit and add some comments about what does what here. This is what I've come up with after a few hours of just poking around with the inspect element feature and reading some tutorials:

/* Navbar */
{
background: linear-gradient(to top right, rgba(229, 0, 32, .8) , rgba(242, 151, 57, .8));
box-shadow: 0px 4px 10px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
backdrop-filter: blur(10px);
position: relative; z-index: 4001
}

/* Page background image */
{
background: url(https://toaru-project.com/railgun_t/core_sys/images/main/common/logo_t.svg) no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: contain;
}

/* Post box transparency */
.section {
opacity: 0.96;
}

/* kbin footer background */
{
background: linear-gradient(to top right, rgba(229, 0, 32, 1) , rgba(242, 151, 57, 1));
}

/* The little arrow button in the bottom right that takes you back to the top of the page */
-top {
background: linear-gradient(to top right, rgba(229, 0, 32, .8) , rgba(242, 151, 57, .8));
box-shadow: 0px 4px 10px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
backdrop-filter: blur(10px);
}

/* Options bar */
{
background: linear-gradient(to top right, rgba(229, 0, 32, .8) , rgba(242, 151, 57, .8));
box-shadow: 0px 4px 10px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
backdrop-filter: blur(10px);
position: relative
}

/* upvote color */
.vote .active.vote__up button {
color: rgba(242, 151, 57);
}

/* Media viewer background blur */
.goverlay {
background: rgba(0,0,0,.5);
backdrop-filter: blur(15px);
}

Nice gradient!

I'm a mod. My subreddit (kbin.social/m/bestof) will not get a facelift any time soon, I don't think. Aren't people expecting to customize their own view of all communities?

Also, do the visuals persist to all of the fediverse? How does your community look on kbin, lemmy, etc?

garrettw87,
@garrettw87@kbin.social avatar

Visuals definitely would not federate.

MiddleWeigh, in What’s one thing that you wish you had known when jumping over from Reddit?
@MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world avatar

I didn't know anything. I clicked a random link on reddit tbh. I just been picking away and enjoying it.

I guess the one thing would be what the actual difference between kbin and lemmy is. Other than that, it's pretty straightforward imo.

aeternum,

Two different softwares for accessing the fediverse. Say like, windows and Mac OS are different OS's for doing similar things.

Calcharger, in Why do some people have a extreme hate for Furries?
@Calcharger@kbin.social avatar

Take a walk around Furcadia, check out some user generated dreams, and report back to me what you find

Alexmitter,
@Alexmitter@kbin.social avatar

Never heard of that game, would you please tell me what you expect me to find because I rather not play it just to figure that out.

Calcharger, (edited )
@Calcharger@kbin.social avatar

I'm Surprised, it's the pre-eminent MMOSG/MMORPG for the furry community.

I expect you to find what makes people uneasy around furries

Alexmitter,
@Alexmitter@kbin.social avatar

I am not surprised to not know it, I am not into this kind of games. Actually so far I know no game I like that has furry content. I do not play much in general. But I think you where talking about those so called "dreams" that they also mention on the website, mind telling me what you found in those?

Calcharger,
@Calcharger@kbin.social avatar

hard to describe it exactly. An atmosphere of goofy, cartoony demeanors and rope play. As an example.

The furry community isn't a monolith, but what i've seen fairly consistently is a cartoonish kind of behavior. Kind of silly, cutesey. And on the margins of that is sexual content. It's a weird combination.

Alexmitter,
@Alexmitter@kbin.social avatar

I personally have not seen sexual content that at the same time tried to be goofy or cartoonist. Maybe thats something specific to the community around this game? I see a kind of cartoonish goofy behavior from people in character wearing a suit, but not in the typical sexual art the wider community produces.

Calcharger,
@Calcharger@kbin.social avatar

It's out there

Alexmitter,
@Alexmitter@kbin.social avatar

I am sure it is, if its plausibly thinkable, there is porn of it.

Melancholia,
@Melancholia@kbin.social avatar

Wow Furcadia is still a thing? I remember it being around like.. idk... 20 years ago. If its still going, that's pretty cool. I love when old parts of the internet are still there, just chugging away in their own little corner.

Calcharger,
@Calcharger@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, they had a kickstarter in 2012 and revamped everything

TimeSquirrel,
@TimeSquirrel@kbin.social avatar

Jesus, I haven't heard the name "Furcadia" in like, 20 years. I wasn't aware it was still in operation. I thought most of us had moved on to SL or VRchat.

"Money can't buy happiness." "If you work hard, YOU TOO can be a billionaire." and other snips of class warfare/propaganda made to trick poor people into feeling complacent or even aggressively attached to their position of being shat on by oligarchs.

We (collective) eat that shit up and then beg for seconds when we should be erecting guillotines.

@garrettw87@kbin.social avatar

I have /m/learnesperanto and I am slowly working on sprucing up the CSS. So far all I’ve really done is add a green bottom border to some link hovers in the sidebar.

For what it's worth, vitamin A is good for your eyes, particularly night vision. However, the carrot thing was in fact a lie. While carrots do have vitamin A, vegetables are not a good source of it; you need a meat-based source in order for it to be readily available to your body (sorry vegans--fortunately, it can be supplemented with pills). And no matter how much of it you eat, you will not get super night vision.

CoderKat, in What animal or insect going extinct would have the greatest impact on the ecosystem?
@CoderKat@kbin.social avatar

Oceanic plankton produces like half of the world's oxygen. Trees get too much credit. I'm not sure what the exact impact of losing so much oxygen would be, but... Not good?

TheDeadGuy, (edited )
@TheDeadGuy@kbin.social avatar

Plankton isn't an animal or insect though, it's algae and bacteria

My vote goes to worms. Without them huge amounts (like the vast majority) of land will become dead after a few years. Worms are very underrated

MadCybertist,
@MadCybertist@kbin.social avatar

That’s an interesting take I don’t think anybody else has said worms yet

You and I thrive in oxygen, because we evolved in its presence, but oxygen is a really potent corrosive chemical that destroys a lot of life. When blue-green algae first showed up and started dumping oxygen everywhere, it in turn was a cataclysmic event for life on Earth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Oxidation_Event

The Great Oxidation Event (GOE), also called the Great Oxygenation Event, the Oxygen Catastrophe, the Oxygen Revolution, the Oxygen Crisis, or the Oxygen Holocaust,[2] was a time interval during the Early Earth's Paleoproterozoic era when the Earth's atmosphere and the shallow ocean first experienced a rise in the concentration of oxygen.[3] This began approximately 2.460–2.426 Ga (billion years) ago, during the Siderian period, and ended approximately 2.060 Ga, during the Rhyacian.[4]

The sudden injection of highly reactive free oxygen, which is toxic to the then-mostly anaerobic biosphere, may have caused the extinction of many existing organisms on Earth — then mostly archaeal colonies that used retinal to utilize green-spectrum light energy and power a form of anoxygenic photosynthesis (see Purple Earth hypothesis). Although the event is inferred to have constituted a mass extinction,[7] due in part to the great difficulty in surveying microscopic organisms' abundances, and in part to the extreme age of fossil remains from that time, the Great Oxidation Event is typically not counted among conventional lists of "great extinctions", which are implicitly limited to the Phanerozoic eon. In any case, Isotope geochemistry data from sulfate minerals have been interpreted to indicate a decrease in the size of the biosphere of >80% associated with changes in nutrient supplies at the end of the GOE.[8]

Probably be pretty bad for us, but I suppose if you're an obligate anaerobic organism, you'd be having the best situation since a couple of billion years ago.

osarusan, in What animal or insect going extinct would have the greatest impact on the ecosystem?

Humans.

Melpomene,
@Melpomene@kbin.social avatar

Concur, they didn't specify a need for the effect to be negative!

MadCybertist,
@MadCybertist@kbin.social avatar

It is what I meant…… but I’m very happy to see some folks thinking about it from a different angle haha.

metaStatic,

ctrl-F humans

boosted and updoots to the right

VoxAdActa,
@VoxAdActa@kbin.social avatar

That's really the only right answer. If we're looking at the impact of a single species, as opposed to a genus, family, or order (like most of the other answers are doing, e.g., "spiders"), humans are the only single species whose absence would cause vast changes in the biosphere. We have no other close taxonomic relatives that could step into our "niche" and continue doing what we're doing. Losing one species of mosquito (instead of the whole genus) or one species of plankton (instead of the entire.. god, what, order? Clade?) wouldn't produce any significant effect by itself.
