Where is ernes? What is going on? There are so many things to do on kbin.
Please, I want information. What is going on again? Why can't someone take over the project?

Who controls karab.in? it has not turned on for several weeks or even months.

Migrate Lemmy server to mbin

I'm thinking of migrating my Lemmy-Server over to Mbin so that I can follow Mastodon users as well. I know that there are tools to export/import the community and magazine subscriptions. But what about all my posts and comments?

I don't have any communities on my server and I guess the posts and comments I made should live on in the other Lemmy servers. But it would be really nice to be able to navigate back to them and/or receive notifications about replies to old content.

Has anyone ever done something along those lines? Maybe even just with a dirty SQL script?

And I would like to keep all my pictrs uploads in some way. Though I guess this should be easier to figure out with some bash scripting.

First, I think Ernest has done a fantastic job and I've been rooting for him this whole time. But it's becoming clear it's all too much for him without the support of a larger team.

Over the last several months there have been multiple posts about the spam problems on this instance, both here and on other instances. We've been fortunate so far they haven't simply defederated us.

Now when I go to the Hot page it's 12 hours out of date.

It's with a heavy heart I looked into a kbin fork mentioned in another thread in this magazine: Mbin.

GitHub: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin

Instance list: https://fedidb.org/software/mbin

The largest instance: https://fedia.io/

I'll miss you Kbin. It's been good. Thanks Ernest!

It's not the purpose of this post to support any particular instance. Feel free to mention your own alternatives below.

Abandoned large magazines are being bombarded with spam and admins are nowhere to be seen it seems. Hundreds of spam bot posts have not been deleted for months, see /infosec /internet /opensource /science, etc. and there are some posts about admins not responding to reports. So whats happening here?

I see that non-admins are banning spammers from their communities in mod log but thats not an instance wide ban

are any other instances even federating with kbin after this barrage of unmoderated spam?

There seems to be a few waves of users created just to post spam specifically in kbin. It's quite strange as the posts are so obvious and they keep getting downvoted. I'm also blocking the users but I can't see a way to report them. Is there a better way to handle this situation?

Hey guys, I'm toying with the idea of deploying a personal kbin instance in Azure. Has anyone done this and have any tips to share? What kind of costs am I looking at?

@kbin kbin is constantly returning 50x and 404 errors to me for the last few weeks. It's literally unusable, even for browsing. What's going on? Is it just me? should I move on to a different instance?

I just had 2 play over themselves on my feed. I'd rather not block channels or users just to stop it. Videos should never autoplay in the threads

Artemis was stopped in its tracks because the source code hasn’t been released, and the app is only set to work with Artemis Camp. The two workarounds used to get the project going have taken a turn for the worse, because all of Artemis development depends on one person, and one server

The Unofficial Kbin Guide is now available! https://unofficial-kbin-guide.surge.sh/
Let me know of any feedback, update requests, or corrections.

I'd like to do a poll in a magazine, basically like they are on reddit. But better of course, not limited to 6 entries and maybe even have links or pictures in the entries.

Currently there's no such functionality in kbin and I'm not expecting there to be one soon.

What would be the best way to do it with what's available now? All suggestions welcome, thanks!

Hey, I'm knew to KBIN, and already like it!

Question and issues:

• How do I set a custom display name for my profile?

• Is it possible to edit my username?

Thank you in advance for answering.

I still don't get this part of kbin. Anyway, I hope you are having a great day.

I'm a mod over at lemmy.ca/c/torontobluejays, and a subscriber there who subs from Kbin mentioned in a post that they have not been able to see the bot-posted game day threads that are posted for each days Blue Jays Game. I've created an account here to confirm that, and it's the same for me as well. I also don't see any relevant settings to enable bot content. Can any of the Kbin guru's here help out?

Fairly new to Kbin, for some reason my "notifications" are always empty. If someone responds to one of my comments, I don't see anything that tells me that they did. Both my notifications and messages are permanently empty.

Is that expected behavior? If not, how do I fix it?

A blogpost I made about my experience on Kbin. Any feedback would be appreciated as someone who is new to blogging. Thank you

As some of you may know, szmer.info is a domain that's basically full of spammers, so I blocked it. However upon doing so a thread (https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/344185/I-m-worried-that-in-the-future-we-will-be-forced) I was reading basically disappeared from my feed, and on reloading it all the comments disappeared. I went through the comments and I don't think any of the users were from szmer.info, so I'm wondering what triggered this behaviour. Is this a bug or did I miss out on something? Thanks!

Feel intensely unmotivated to work on kbin userstyle 🛏️🛏️🛏️ Got started with it , worked pretty much nonstop since joining , yet nowhere close to done

Only so much i can do with userstyles , thought maybe forking instead so i can rearrange HTML , but instructions for setting up local env assume linux machine

I've had a number of items I've wanted to save for future reference. I can't seem to find an option on the Furefox mobile site that allows me to do that.

Sure I can open in browser and bookmark, but I'd rather they all be under my account here.

Thanks in advance.
