Adding /d/domain-name-goes-here to kbin's normal web address will take you to that instance's "homepage" and you can block it there. For example, https://kbin.social/d/feddit.de
Keep in mind, this will only block posts coming from that instance, so you'll still be seeing comments from those users elsewhere, but it should take care of a good deal of it on your feed if you don't mind losing out on the three or four communities there that aren't in german
Thanks for the help! I know how to block an instant but I'm looking to block every instance in the same top level domain, so anything ending in ".de" so that I don't have to manually block several instances. If it's not possible yet that's fair, I know Ernest has a shit ton on his plate.
Is there a kbin Android app yet? I know the web app works, which is what I'm using now, but would really like a native app. I'm assuming these are being worked on and just need time to bake!
Hello all! Me and my friend are two girls from Kosovo who will be coming to the island next summer (summer '24) as J1 students. We have already found a job that will sponsor us, but unfortunately they don't provide housing. I'm writing this to ask if any of you know where or how we can find affordable and safe (keep in mind, we are two young students) housing for the duration of the summer season (May through September). Thank you in advance!
How much of this works with Mastodon and Pixelfed?
Hi, @AskKbin community! (ง ื▿ ื)ว
I created a couple of groups on a #Lemmy instance to see how well they got along with #Mastodon & #Pixelfed. 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 #Kbin allows tagging contents in magazines. Is there something else I should know to post from other socials?
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
Hot sleepers, have you had any real world success with cooling blankets that give you that good weighted-down feeling but don’t reduce you to a sweaty blob by morning?
Is it possible to stop the screen from rotating on the Kbin app when my phone rotates? I have my phone settings so it shouldn't rotate from vertical to horizontal but for some reason only the app does it, anyone know if this can be turned off?
why do threads that reference articles on outside sites redirect to kbin and not the outside site? (for example, worldnews often shows the external news site, but clicking the link takes you to a kbin.social post showing all the threads referencing that news site, not the actual site and story itself)
Why is my phone screen's orientation failing to stay locked and how do I fix it?
I have a Samsung Galaxy A71 5G. This usually only happens a few times a week, but my phone seems to be very confused by kbin. I have to hold it vertically or it will switch to landscape orientation every single time. It's annoying. Any ideas?
@HotDogFingies on kbin specifically (if you're using the progressive web app PWA) it currently bypasses your phones landscape or portrait lock. Even on my phone with Android 13, if I've switched off auto rotation and rotate the site it still rotates
That's apparently a bug that's going to be fixed at some point.
There's one in development for kbin that's intended to work for both iOS and android. It's honestly looking pretty good. Right now, it's still in private beta, scheduled to go public mid/late July, but you could always see if there's still room on the pinned sign up form. I'm sure the dev would love as many testers as she can get
Literally every other suggested post is about anti-trans stuff or gun rights. Is it because I commented once in a thread about how Trudeau isn't a fascist?
@rackmountrambo Facebook (and Twitter, for that matter) are formulated to push extreme-right-wing views because those get the most engagement, either from disgust or zealous approval.
People who like fascism also like clicking suspicious ads for penis enlargement pills and barely-legal teens in their area, which makes Facebook and Twitter more money. It's a consequence of advertisers gaining control of all media.
