How much of this works with Mastodon and Pixelfed?
Hi, @AskKbin community! (ง ื▿ ื)ว
I created a couple of groups on a instance to see how well they got along with & . Even though I could create posts from Mastodon comments made from Lemmy were invisible to Mastodon users and vice versa.
I like the fact that allows tagging contents in magazines. Is there something else I should know to post from other socials?

detun3d,

@tuneintodetuned Would love to know as well. lol

bybpow,

What is this microblog for?

bybpow,

So this is like a "discussion" page in Wikipedia?

Nemo,

You’re actually on the ranked-threaded-discussion part of the site, ie. the part that acts like reddit and federates with lemmy.

Who is your favorite fictional hero or superhero and how would they fare against the gom jabbar?

Bizarroland,
@Bizarroland@kbin.social avatar

@Nemo I could see Thor losing a hand and then chopping off the bene gesserits head with the ax held in his other hand.

Nemo,

The gom jabbar was held to Paul’s neck, though, and I imagine the same would be true for Thor.

You were thinking of the pain box, perhaps. The pain box is the test, the gom jabbar is the concentrated poison weapon that enforced participation in the test.

So There's This System where you can specify which language you're writing in, and I always write in English.

So why, oh God why, does it keep insisting on changing it to Danish?

I mean, Kbin please, could you ask me?

Or just bloody remember what I always set it to (when I accidentially remember to set it)?

How would your life change if you took a two week break from all your smart devices?

I need mine for work, so it’s not even possible. I’m already making a point to use it sparingly when I don’t have to.

Mojojojo1993,

I’ve though about this quite a bit.

People constantly complain that my gen spend too much time on our devices.

I could pretty much do exactly the same thing I do but using a bunch of other alternatives.

I was asked about going a month without my phone. But what would that actually entail?

Could I still watch my tv ? Would Netflix and prime still be allowed? If I don’t read reddit anymore since I’m moved away from that cesspool. Can I just read news articles from other sites instead?

Does it mean no access to the Internet? Can I use my phone for maps and music and ebooks but nothing else?

I think the argument is good. Why are people obsessed with commenting on people being on their phones but not those that spend a similar amount of time watching shit on tv ?

Here’s a question for you.

I went on a 3 week holiday and had a similar thought process. Now I’m generally on my phone all the time if there’s nothing else going on. But I will make a conscious effort to put it away if we are doing things socializing and during group activities. My question to my partner was

What’s the difference between me being on my phone and not paying attention to anyone and everyone reading their books ?

Would the same retort as. Why’s he on his phone vs in a book. It’s the same level of antisocial yet one is seen as derogatory and the other is a holiday past time.

It’s more social constructs than anything else. Phones bad but books good. Simplicity

jpatches,

Is there a suggestions magazine? The thumbnail and the actual picture within the post is the same size. If I want to make it larger, I have to click it again. I like many things about kbin, but this is one of the only annoying things.

Can we get a KbinDrama mag, i've seen a lot of really weird or funny shenanigans in the comments and wish I could get a discussion over it

Why don’t you create the magazine?

Anyone else miss StumbleUpon? I do.

Yeah, I loved stumbling on random sites

@readbeanicecream

The Stumbleupon devs were pioneers of what's happening to social media now.

We're not making money. Should we add advertising? Nope Should we require a subscription fee? Nope.

The problem is all these people using CSS to curate their finds on the web. This is NOT a blog (even though there was a button that said 'stumbleblog it').

Ohhh noooo, this is about the stumble button and nothing else (the button I no longer used much because other people's content was a faster way to find cool shit).

Now, we're going to wipe all of your work out and make this about THE BUTTON.

Every curator on the site bails, leaving only the turnips trying to use Stumble for SEO wank.

And that's how you destroy a good thing. I love how they're out there still trying to make their version work.

Hmm, let's see. Things'll get better if we change the name to Mix. We'll get lots more people to try our crap.

3 people show up.

I'm still mad about that. If they had asked me to pay for a subscription, I would have.

smh

As I'm new to Kbin, What is one thing that I should do?

#AskKbin

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@kbin.social avatar

@melroy Thanks, done a bit of that and seem to have got a mostly satisfying look and feel to Kbin, to the point I can't stop using it.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@kbin.social avatar

@tjhart85 Thanks will take a look now.

Is the reputation points like Karma on Reddit?

#AskKbin

Nemo,

Yes, each post and comment has a “rating” that’s used for thread ranking. It’s about the same:

(2x boosts) + upvotes - downvotes, with no vote fuzzing

Boosts are only on kbin, though

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Indeed. Boosted this comment.

If you're on kbin and getting an invalid csrf error, can't log in; use your email address instead of your username and you might be able to get in.

If not, try another browser.

ReallyKinda,

If Facebook made their content compatible with activity feed could I potentially subscribe and interact with (for example) my dad’s posts only so that I can keep up with family without having to visit (or have a) Facebook myself?

@cousinofjah@lemmy.world avatar

It’s technically possible, but I put the chance of it happening at 0.1%. I don’t even see them (properly/fully) implementing ActivityPub in Threads.

RestrictedAccount,

Those of you among us who remember that Don Imus used to be a thing, why was he so influential and how did he slip completely from memory?

@Spacebar I had forgotten about that.

Cybersecurity employee training that includes chatbots? I know, I know. I should ask this in technology or something but what im really looking for is more business related. Im looking for those duh, duh, kind of employee training but updated with the dangers of chatbots. Things like don't paste in private or confidential data, don't trust its answers are right, ask questions generally and move down to specifics, etc. etc. And yes I did ask a chatbot for the answer.
