A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I get having megathreads, but currently kbin doesn't care whether a post on Lemmy is pinned, so megathreads make it harder here to follow news and discussions on the topic.
This is exactly why kbin just isn't a practical option yet. Should just stick to Lemmy at least for now.
I’m not even confident that kbin.social is federating properly.
It might not be their fault, but things don’t seem to match up.
There seem to be a lot of problems surfacing with federation in general. Some actions seem to be taking a very long time to federate - if they ever do.
Agreed, though my frustration is tempered by experiences watching other niche products and solutions being scaled up too quickly in a former professional life. My not-so-secret hope is that as folks like LJ Dawson and other 3PA devs build out for the fediverse their upstream contributions will help to create a better overall environment for users. I've seen some instance admins who are sharing local fixes to scaling issues and challenges with the broader community, so there's a building momentum to make it all work better with the feedback from this crazy stress test.
Yeah I'm not upset about it at all. There are some annoyances - and I imagine the folks that are keeping things running are probably a little saltier about it, lol. It's mostly just been little frustrations with things like federation behaving strangely, or mod tools not really being particularly user friendly or robust. But you have to expect that from a project with a team this small that has exploded as much as Lemmy has in the last month or two.
There are problems that goes both ways, the number of subscribers, for example.
this is unfortunate but we kind of have to prioritize our users first and a lot of people are annoyed about all the reddit posts that clearly don't need to be their own thread
Yes, I understand :) Just thought it'd be nice to increase awareness of the problem.
