I added the default languages Swedish (Svenska) and English when creating my account but now seems that I'm stuck with the first language I chose as default.
Is there any way to change this?
When I add and remove other post languages it keeps defaulting back to Swedish even when removed.
Back when OSU! was the big thing for streamers, and I was mainlining adc Draven bot lane in league of legends, i bought into the hype that was disabling mouse acceleration. I thought, surely, since disabling it gives the raw values rather than accelerrated ones, that my game performance would improve and be more accurate.
I stuck with it disabled for over year, thinking that eventually i would adapt to this new method of input and even become a better gamer with more clicks going where i wanted them to.
It never got better. Hell, my performance stayed worse than before the switch to disabled accelleration. It took me a month to go back to my previous level acurrracy once i switxhed it back on, and i have never turned it off since.
What people and apparently large language models don't understand is that mouse accelleration doesn't make the mouse movement unpredictable. It makes it accellerate on a known curve. I grew up with mouse aceleration and by the time i learned i could change it, i was not able to master or even learn this new way of using a mouse.
For those of you who don't want personal anecdotes, turning off mouse accelleration on a three-monitor setup means unacceptably slow traversal, or unacceptably high (skipping pixel levels of too high) speed in the fine movement level.
The interface is great, and it's the main reason I chose Kbin over Lemmy. The UI is just much more aesthetically pleasing, especially with the Tokyo night theme and with custom userstyles.
Microblog integration is really convenient. I don't use it a ton, but it's nice to be able to view Mastodon content from the same place as all the stuff in the threadiverse. Magazines being able to collect microblogs with certain tags is also great (e.g., the !pixelart microblog section collects anything with the #pixelart tag). Being able to follow tags to have in your subscribed feed would be awesome.
The community on kbin magazines is really nice. I do wish there was more activity, but I love the interactions I have here.
Things to improve:
Activity is lacking in most magazines. I try to post and comment—I'm doing so a lot more than I did on Reddit—but not a lot of people are doing the same.
There are quite a few annoying bugs. Posting brings you to an error page (even though the posting still works), image uploading doesn't have any visual feedback, and blocking any domain causes comments to disappear.
Federation is far from perfect. Some stuff doesn't federate for seemingly no reason, and downvotes don't federate at all.
This is a general issue throughout the fediverse, but there isn't really a built-in guide explaining federation, yet understanding federation and its intricacies is kind of a prerequisite to using the fediverse (since federation is far from seamless and can be quite inconsistent). What doesn't help is the attitude that people who don't get federation are dumb or should just try harder.
There are other issues I have, like the lack of a subscription panel, but these can be fixed with userscripts. Even so, stuff like this should be part of the base functionality, or at the very least there should be prominent links to these userscripts until it can get added.
I agree with pretty much everything you mentioned. Regarding the activity, I wish there was a bit more effort from others as well. I can understand why they don't though--I was typically a lurker as well. It's just unfortunate when I see posts from users that want to see more content as well before they feel incentivized to contribute, which unfortunately serves to perpetuate the problem. Not saying this is you (also not trying to antagonize any lurkers, because again, I understand), it's just something I've observed. That said, I appreciate what folks like Ernest are doing. #Kbin and the rest of the #fediverse resonate with me conceptually, so I'll continue trying to support it how I can.
Of course, it's fine for people to be lurkers—I was one in the vast majority of the subreddits I joined—but the advice I'd give to everyone is that if you're upset that there's not much content or that something isn't being talked about, make that content! That's been the approach I've been using. If I think, "Man, I wish there was a post on this," I make that post. Again, it's understandable for people to lurk, but I do wish more people who were dissatisfied with activity tried to help fix the issue as opposed to abandoning the concept of the fediverse or using it much less.
I could not agree more--I've also been trying to engage with content by sorting through "New" more regularly. It's now my preferred method for discovering content.
Appreciate the tip! Already tried that. It seems to be saved server-side unfortunately.
I posted an issue on the Codeberg project tracker for KBin here: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1154
My experience is that it's wrong (at least fairly inaccurate) at least half of the time. Sometimes even being wrong is enough of a hint for what I needed it for, but yeah, don't trust that shit.
They're uploading just fine, I can see them on your profile. In addition to the error message bug, there's a bug with the default "hot" sort order. Check in "newest" to find your post, upvote it, and then it should show up properly in hot.
Considering that Evil Dead is about demonic possession in the middle of the woods, I think it falls firmly outside of the “not scary at all” category. Though, I did find it hilarious that they have a demon spectator heckling them for like over half of the movie.
That I’m kind of comfortable in my job right now so I don’t have to stress too much. It makes going to work easier, and allows me to relax when I’m at home.
