Ernest has brought a server admin on board for this reason. Also a number of contributors are actively working on improving the setup process.

“aedificium” got me

Yes, but my bigger point is that it’s not threaded as a reply to one of that user’s comments.

Edit: Oops, nevermind. I saw their comments elsewhere down here but didn’t realize they were OP. Just one of the interface things on Kbin that needs improvement.

Edit 2: I need to figure out how to do strikethrough text on here

The news networks only do whatever gets them more eyeballs. If they see that submarine coverage will do that, then that’s what they do.

I see you’re on a different Kbin instance. Was this intended to be a threaded reply, out of curiosity? Because it shows up as a top-level comment on the post for me.

A boost is like a retweet, from my understanding - so must be a basic bit of functionality built into ActivityPub, I’d guess.

I believe you are correct about upvotes. To my knowledge, downvotes don’t federate at all (ActivityPub may not support them, for all I know), so what they do here is merely affect reputation points.

That’s how I’ve been using the buttons.

This is the answer.

Read some of the other comments. It doesn’t sound like you’ve been following much of the chatter about the site very closely.

Here’s where you go to do it

Should we be surprised at this, after the whole Anti-Meta Pact thing got so much traction? Like on one hand we don’t want to federate with them, but on the other we’re unhappy when they won’t?
