On mobile browser to limit the feed to local, it looks like you want to tap the top left "hamburger" menu (three horizontal lines), then the triangle icon to the left of the cog/gear and set federation status to off.

For minimizing/collapsing comment trees, I don't think that's been implemented in kbin yet (a small reason I'm on Lemmy instead tbh).

As to subscribing or saving posts, I can't say without being on there. The closest I can see from my outside perspective is boosting a post, which seems to act like favoriting/bookmarking in other contexts. I don't get the sense that it's intended to be used as a subscription/saving method, but it may have to do for the time being. Other kbin folks may have better insight here than me though.

No, just the best style sorting method. Maybe it would be a useful addition to the options?

@kosama@socel.net

But then I remembered I can use my Mastodon account to comment. I just can’t create post or downvote them.

Fun fact! You can make posts from Mastodon to Lemmy. If you search the community on Mastodon, e.g. lemmyworld@lemmy.world, you can @ the account that should show up with whatever you want to post, and it will show up here!

Same formatting advice applies when searching for Lemmy communities via Mastodon btw, for any folks that may be using a mix of Kbin/Mastodon.

Search for [community]@[instance] to find them, albeit personally I'd not recommend following communities via Mastodon, as their formatting differences are enough that they don't display as clearly there. Instead I'd recommend copying the post/comment urls and commenting/replying with your Mastodon account, should that be what you want to do.

One I watched the other day was The Refuge, which was pretty cool! Stranger finds himself in one of the last supposedly safe places on Earth during a new ice age, but things quickly begin to take a turn...

This is why I posted it tbh, as I imagined there may be many that don't realize how much of "AI" is a lot of manual labor being obfuscated by shiny tech.

If you look into self-driving & remote workers or labor, you can find similar accounts. Some companies trying to market their self-driving services are in reality being heavily supported by remote workers monitoring the vehicles & correcting errors or outright driving the cars in some instances. Remote operations themselves aren't really a problem, of course, but the deliberate attempts to present vehicles as fully self-driven are.

Not something I've built, but I was reviewing my bookmarks the other day and I found this site that I don't even know how I found to begin with: http://geacron.com/home-en/

It's an interactive world history atlas, where you can set the year and see what territories/nations existed or were like in the past. I'm not sure how accurate the maps are, especially as you go back further in history, but it's still fun to get a rough idea of where different groups of people were.

We’re federated with that instance already though, I thought, so it’s strange that it wasn’t showing up with other search terms.

From what I've been seeing, there seem to be some delays in the search surfacing results for communities from other instances. I was searching for a community over in lemmy.sdf.org from this instance (lemmy.world) and despite folks from there posting in world (which should federate them, I think?), it still took a few tries & waiting a moment for a community from sdf to show up in search results.

this is goa'uld!

Funny thing, I found this community by trying to find the one you mention (saw another of your comments in some other thread)! lol

It turns out that thanks to fedi-funk, I couldn't see it or your posts there from my instance (lemmy.world). Sorted it out though & subbed, as there's a bunch of '90s shows I also enjoy.

 

Anyone else happen to watch this, recently or otherwise? I had an itch lately for some scifi/weird fiction kinda shows and I remembered I'd never really watched a lot of Outer Limits.

Thankfully the first three seasons are available freely on YouTube (albeit with ads, but here's to ad-blockers!), and I just found out you could watch the rest via Roku Channel, or up to the sixth season via Prime Video.

Btw protip if you're not already aware, Justwatch.com is super useful for tracking down shows/movies across different streaming services

 
 

This is a podcast episode with a lengthy transcript, but it covers a part of the financial industry, private equity firms, that does a good job of appearing so boring as to hide its outsized influence in plain sight.

It's worth the read, but a TL;DR might be along the lines of, some private equity firms are taking advantage of their poorly regulated space to profit from running businesses into the ground and/or consolidating them & raising prices all while distancing themselves from taking any responsibility for the consequences of their actions.

 

Writer reflects on the questionable ethics of the emerging AI industry and its exploitation and traumatizing of underpaid, and unpaid international labor & participation.

 

With many states and smaller local governments in the U.S. banning or attempting to ban books, Illinois' state government is doing the opposite, penalizing book bans by withdrawing funding from libraries that restrict or remove books due to "partisan or doctrinal" disapproval.
