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!
How do I hide (blacklist) certain magazines from showing up on All?
I love to browse All to find new popular magazines every day. However, I can't speak German and a significant portion of my All page is in German.
Is there any way to keep browsing All but filter out specific magazines of my choosing? Or even better, is there a language selection I can set somewhere?
If you go to the magazine’s sidebar there’s a block button. On kbin and the lemmy web browser it’s by the subscribe button on the sidebar, on Memmy you have to hit the 3 dots on the top right of the magazine’s feed page. On Mlem…. I haven’t figured it out yet.
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.
Poor kid earned one, worthy or not, as a Father’s Day gift to his dad. Ultimate irony. Only person on board for whom I could have shed a tear actually…
I'm seeing a lot of chat about the migration of "reddit brand" concepts like AMA and IAmA. We should probably come up with alternatives? Who's got some suggestions?
I've seen AMA threads on 4chan, I don't think it's something reddit-exclusive anymore. It's just a simple acronym for "Ask Me Anything" for online interviews.
Is there a place to file a bug report or is there a list of known issues with kbin?
For instance on my home page the "random posts" shows posts from magazines that I have blocked. To test this I blocked @random because there's always a post from there to see for me, and sure enough it still shows up.
@HomerAtTheBat search for the community in the Magazines area of kbin and it will return you results from kbin and other instances (lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, etc.) magazines is what kbin calls communities.
I have active threads with replies here on kbin, but I'm not getting any notifications for them in the notifications tab. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Not sure what to do....
Have you checked whether you have notifications enabled in the settings? I thought I had the same problem until I checked there and noticed that they were all turned off by default.
How do I send a private message to another fediverse user from kbin? I thought maybe if I viewed their profile I'd have the option, but nothing obvious stood out.
I don't use Kbin, so this is a fediverse thing in general. But the biggest thing I struggle with is multiple communities getting added in different places for the same thing. Most people don't want to check Ask Lemmy, Ask Kbin, and Ask a dozen different spots. They just want it all in one consolidated place like Ask Reddit.
I feel like an app could help solve that by aggregating the communities into one view. But even then, you'd likely get a lot of reposts stemming from the individual communities. Not sure if there could ever be a solution for this, since it's the biggest selling point of the fediverse.
Something similar to the multireddit function that reddit has where you can use a + sign in the URL to consolidate multiple subreddits in one page? I don't know how easy this would be but if you could do that across multiple instances you could have [email protected][email protected] (etc) and view all the different questions at once.
Can I block/unsub certain magainzes from other fedis? For example I am getting a lot of .de content, and I can't read the language, and would rather not see it.
Click on the community that you want to hide and on its sidebar you should see a 🚫 symbol, right next to the "Subscribe" button. Once you turn it to red, you will stop seeing content from that community in m/all
