Right now there are similarely named communities across the fediverse.

"fediverse@xxx", "Linux@xxx", "asklemmy", "askkbin"..etc...

I'm on kbin and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use the fediverse more productively, by reaching the largest amount of people for asking questions, solving problems, simply put: to engage... like I used to do on Reddit?

Maybe give them a custom header image, like profiles have. But please don't encourage them to fill my screen with #FF00FF.

Example:

https://kbin.social/m/fedora

This new design looks so much cleaner and polished. As a huge fan of the catppuccin theme, I really enjoy the newly added Tokyo Night theme.

👏🎉💯

I was under the assumption that I can use one fediverse account across all ther fediverse apps, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

I.e. I downloaded the mastodon android app and tried to select kbin.social as the server, but it gives an error.

Same for jerboa, it won't let me connect to kbin.social, saying invalid credentials.

Is this something on the roadmap or am I simply wrong with my assumption?

Is this on purpose that the upvote count and the comments are not synced?

Up until the previous version I could fly through the feed with the power of my 120hz display.

Now it just lags and feels like 10fps when scrolling.

Holy Hell!

Basically title. Can I still browse other instances from within kbin.social, even though the admin (of kbin.social) has decided not to federate certain instances?

I'm working on a new split keyboard and woukd like to avoid soldering everything together. what are some connectors that can be used to connect things together?

My plan is to have a central unit with one controller, while still being able to dissasemble things etc.

I bought some usb-c male/females, but the males are a PITA to solder a diy 12-pin cable utilizing all pins for transfer, etc.

I see a lot of comments pointing out bugs and saying something along the lines like "they need to fix this ASAP, otherwise... something something".

As a software developer myself (not in the fediverse), I can tell you one thing:

Keep in mind that all of this literally escalated pretty quickly, and no one was prepared for that. What started out as a hobby project of some enthausiasts, quickly turned into a high demand over the course of a few days.

Having hundreds of enthusiasts use a software is different than having thousends of "average" people using it. 100 users won't detect many bugs, and if they do, they're more tolerant since they know it's all volunteering. But thousands of users will detect even more bugs that no one bothered to deal before.

Once the userbase grows and the demands are clear enough, this should be tackled, eventually.

So yeah, hang in there.

I've been using my own streaming app for the past few years now.

I decided to rock my own thing because of the following reasons. Since many of the existing ones are closed source, you never know what data is collected. Kodi is fine, but I prefer nice UIs to browse my favorite content. And lastly, I'm a passionate developer.

The app consists of 3 parts:

• the TV app itself
• a backend service to fetch data from trakt/tmdb
• a backend service for openscrapers (real debrid)
• external player of choice (nova, vlc, ...)

To get it up and running, you'd need to run the two backend services on your own server and install an external player like Nova, since it doesn't provide a built-in player.

Would you guys be interested in it so I make my repos publicly available?
