@Ernest has pushed an update which allows users to request ownership/moderation of abandoned magazines. Ghost/abandoned magazines were fairly prevalent after the initial wave of hype due to users either squatting magazine names or becoming inactive for other reasons.

Right? I remember watching some time ago a AI-generated video of an actress - I think it was Kirsten Stewart - doing a monologue. It was eerily undistinguishable from reality. This is happening, and actors have all the rights to be upset by it until proper compensation rules are in place.
I like that kbin is smaller compared to some lemmy instances. I also prefer the UI. Bigger communities tend to feel a bit overwhelming for me. I also appreciate how transparent Ernest has been regarding kbin's development. That said, it's been a bit challenging to figure out how to utilize some of the federation features that...
Among all Fediverse softwares, Kbin is the one I like the most - from the clean interface to the local community, which I really like - just the right balance between serious topics and memes, and decent comment quality.
Even if I'm most active on some federated communities, I don't plan to switch anytime soon.
The only headscratcher that - more than "not like", just puzzled me a bit - is the different naming convention (magazines, microblogs, etc.), but again it's a small thing.
My eyesight is getting shot by looking at a monitor for so many hours, both at work and off work, so Doc said to switch to analogue - if I have to read something, let it be books....
I hate it when people on social media, dare ask questions when you know they're fishing for personal information/ammo on people to exploit. Like asking for people's dark secrets. Why do you want to know? Is there a fetish to this? Nobody is going to be dead serious, they're just going to give softball answers and why should they...
I've reported a few posts on kbin and I'm not sure if they go anywhere. Who reads the reports? Does the report go to the magazine owner? What if hate speech is coming from the owner of a magazine?
Going straight to the point: I was wondering what is the criteria for kbin to pick federated magazines (number of subscribers maybe?) and if there is a way or workaround to pull/force them into the "All magazines" list....
Fantastic, thanks! Probably that's why it was never picked up - I was always searching either using @feddit.it or [email protected] but never using the first @ symbol.

Talented but obnoxious, arrogant boy band leader bombed his initial solo career, ridiculed by Robbie Williams’, reaches rock bottom, eats a ton of humble pie,comes back as professional man band leader, solo artist and dad.
In Italy we have now compassion fatigue. It is just so overwhelming that we've become desensitized. Thousands of lives are saved, and lost, year on year, and nothing ever changes. The migrant plight has become both a business and a political stance to take advantage of on all sides.
Aside of those poor souls, there are no good guys in this fucked up mess. Do not be surprised, also, if the Titan wreck makes the news and the loss of 1000+ people in the space of a summer doesn't.
Because news are not subsidised anymore and need to run on money, views and paper sales.
A wreck on an iconic wreck site generates views.
The n-th migrant shipwreck does not generate views anymore (compassion fatigue, remember) unless you stick to it the picture of a dead child's body washed ashore.
I am torn. Lemmy feels slimmer and easier to use with a wider variety of apps. Kbin has an advantage of being an "all-in-one" solution for the Fediverse with a better UI....
Kbin all the way, also as de-federated community. That said, now that I'm getting the gist of selecting the instances and magazines I want, enjoying the federated content has also become easier.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but karma/reputation points. It only encourages hivemind and echo chambers. I'm ok with thread-specific points so that content can be ranked, but that's it.
Hi, not sure if this is the right thread but here goes.
Issue:
Threads do not seem to federate properly.
Description:
Until a month ago or so, submitting a thread to a federated instance (tested on: feddit.it, sh.itjust.works) threw an error page, but the thread was regularly posted. Example: https://feddit.it/post/1868675
If it can be of help, posts, links and comments seem properly federated to the same abovementioned instances, i.e. appear on target instances within a few seconds. No error displayed when submitting.
Hope this can be addressed sooner or later. Right now I'm using local accounts on those instances to work this around.
