I am aware that upvoted posts make it to https://kbin.social/fav however that just doesn't work well as I already have 1,000+ pages in there. Moreover, that only registers upvoted posts and not comments. A workaround would be to just use boost, and only upvote when you want to "save" but that is just not conventional imho. The ability on /r to simply save a comment or a post is truly basic but effective.

EDIT: Relevant Codeberg issue

I was airdropping some recent vacation pictures to my MBP from my wife's iPhone 13 Pro and noticed that most files ended up being around 2MB in size which I thought was very small.

Started doing some experimenting and discovered the following:

When selecting a set of pictures in Photos on Mac or an iPhone and selecting Share - Airdrop to another Mac or iPhone, the pictures are compressed 5-fold. (they go from 10MB to 2MB).

When selecting the same set of pictures in Photos on Mac or an iPhone, exporting them to a folder, and then selecting that folder and using Share - Airdrop to another Mac or iPhone, the pictures are not compressed. (file size unchanged).

After doing some research, I found out that two settings need to be adjusted on your iPhone. One, you need to go to Settings > Photos, and under Transfer to Mac and PC, select Keep Originals (that's a permanent setting). Two, and that is not a permanent setting (totally stupid imo), when you are tapping the Share icon, before you tap AirDrop, look for the Options button at the top of the Share sheet, select that, and toggle on All Photos Data (that option does not exist in Photos on a Mac or at least I can't find it).

Pretty annoying that this is so convoluted and now I finally know why we sent low-quality photos to friends in the past.

It seems that any Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml hosted communities aren't any longer federating properly via kbin as I started getting 404 errors on all of them. Examples:

https://lemmy.world/c/personalfinance: ok
https://kbin.social/m/personalfinance@lemmy.world: 404

https://lemmy.ml/c/fire: ok
https://kbin.social/m/finance@lemmy.ml: 404

https://beehaw.org/c/finance: ok
https://kbin.social/m/finance@beehaw.org: ok

You can now use Lemmy Explorer to easily look up Communities and generate kbin-friendly links!

1. Go to https://lemmyverse.net/

2. Click on "Communities" on top center

3. Click on the house button on top right, and enter "kbin.social" as your instance (or any other kbin instance you may be using)

4. Toggle switch below on for "Instance links use /m/" (yellow)

5. Browse, search, and sort as you wish

6. All links will be in the in the https://kbin.social/m/community@instance.tld format :)

Ernest just posted some comments clarifying recent changes to Votes, Boosts, Favorites, and Reputation Points:

• Upvotes & Downvotes function akin to Reddit
• Boosts count as two Upvotes (link)
• Favorites are added to https://kbin.social/fav if you Upvote (link)
• Reputation Points have been updated

In addition to that, Ernest stated that "there is no connection between reputation points and sorting algorithms. It's just info in the profile" (link)

The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:

• Artemis (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
• Kbam (iOS, kbin, lemmy): link
• Memmy (iOS, lemmy): link
• Mlem (iOS, lemmy): link
• Morpha (iOS, lemmy): link
• Thunder (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
• Beyond (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
• Jerboa (Android, lemmy): link
• Slide (Android, lemmy): link
• Sync (Android, lemmy): link
• Connect (Android, lemmy): link
• Summit (Android, lemmy): link
• Lemon (iOS, lemmy): link
• Liftoff (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
• Boost (Android, lemmy): link
• Bean (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
• WefWef (Web App, lemmy): link

Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don't work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/357) so things should get better with time.

Some of the apps are in a very early stage of development so it may happen that they adjust OS availability and platform support.

There are still bugs with Stage Manager and, look, this is not surprising given this is the first beta of iPadOS 17.
