Agree, we also discussed about this here.

Yup! Tusky for sure, don’t know about the other apps. The official app is great but missing many features still. Give Tusky a go if you decide to try Mastodon again!

I bet it is the same reason that I had: can’t follow or unfollow tags from official app (or atleast I haven’t found a way to do so, please help).

ukraine community over at sopuli is great if you sort by new, just trying to get more traction there in the form of people commenting. Posts for info, comments for fun.

Lemmy has been running for 4 years (don’t know how long they developed it before releasing the first beta), Kbin barely for 2 months. Just putting that out there! Love both though.

There used to be direct links on plcman forums (.co.uk) but I believe they stopped maintaining the forums and none of the links work anymore. Sadly I haven’t been able to successfully find any cracks / cracked licenses for PLC software in a long time and don’t work in the automation industry anymore.

If you are working in an automation company, for siemens software you can still pretty much do the old: install on a virtual machine, move licenses, shutdown virtual machine, copy paste virtual machine -routine since the license manager still doesn’t connect to any online sources to check.

This hasn’t been documented (and I haven’t tested), but I’m fairly certain that on user level you can’t block your comments and posts from getting federated with other instances. That would be instance-admin level settings.

The federation on/off button should only hide federated content from you, but I’m not sure if it even applies to the stuff that has already been loaded into your feed, as I still see some content from other instances if I turn it off, but could be due to other kbin users who have commented on the thread so you’d only see kbin users comments.

Still waiting for bit more documentation on kbin, but I’m sure a lot of it will change as ernest and other contributors work on the code.

Awhile ago we had this awesome thread going on where people could tell us about their favourite magazines (and some were created on the spot):

https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin/t/13198/Hey-keebinetters-and-fediverse-what-are-your-favourite-kbin-fediverse-magazines

The syntax for @ signed magazines seems to be a bit broken, right click the link and press “open in a new tab” to get there, or alternatively use this link: /m/Tardigrades

Adding a pic (click to enlarge):

Isn’t that what the “Federation On | Off” setting basically does?

On your sidebar, next to the settings gear there is the connection-icon and you can turn off federation so that you only see magazines and content only from your local instance.

Damn that was a quick answer, appreciate it ernest!

@Shortcake @man0fbass I guess you guys should privately message ernest to resolve these issues.
You can private message by going to his account page and click on the “send a message” on the side bar of that page.

Me, a code necromancer, to a new hire:

• Here is my legacy and burden which I leave to you:
  -– 20 year old Visual Basic application

Yeah I understand, I’m bit hesitant to ping ernest since his hands are absolutely full, but maybe the question OP and you have really could use an answer so that we could do something about this. Hey @ernest , if you see this, is it possible to:

1. Hand down a magazine ownership to another user
2. give ownership of an instance to another user if the original owner has gone MIA?

I know that on lemmy admins of an instance can hand over a community on that instance to another person. Wonder if it is the same on kbin?

You dropped… no, that was something we used to say in the old world. It’s time for a new beginning and new ways. You go, floaty handman.

It’s a slightly different syntax for accessing it from kbin: go to all magazines tab and type ttrpgs@lemmy.blahaj.zone to access the the community.

Edit: on kbin we use the @ character instead of lemmy’s ! Exclamation character:

@ ttrpgs @ lemmy.blahaj.zone

And write it all together:

@ttrpgs

Just to answer the “what I’ve downvoted”:

Might be a bug, but when you downvote it appears on your profile in the boost tab. Sadly removing the downbutton does not remove it from the boost section.

You can see that on my profile when I downvoted a bot. Now I have forever a sexting bot on my profile page…

I think you are right. I hope this post gets traction so people know that before subjecting themselves to those things.

I can confirm on Firefox for Android that kbin works really nice as a PWA!
