I've tried multiple channels, and I never managed from other software, even though I could find the underlying individual videos that are part of the channels. Can you link an example?

Hello from my Kbin account!

I agree that this part of the article is not well developed, and I should have probably rewritten it. What I was trying to get at is that Flipboard has a hierarchy that is unique: The Actor owns a Group, with the Actor being the highest level, and the Magazine below it.

While you could probably map a Flipboard Magazine onto a ActivityPub Group similarly like a Kbin Magazine is a Group, the intended usecase is still quite different, even though they are both link-aggregators. I dont think this is an insurmountable problem per se, but I dont agree that Kbins Magazines are super similar to Flipboards Magazines. If you wanted an fediverse comparison, I think Flipboards Magazines are actually way closer to the Postmarks.

if anything, its gotten worse tbh. the upside is that the move account feature to mastodon works, was a bit concerned about that.

it doesnt block your old account after a move like mastodon does, so i still have a functional firefish account, just not my followers anymore

chris stating that hes hesitant to open his new (4 person) firefish server to other people until theyve tested more for stability makes me quite hesitant to recommend the platform for now, if stability issues are this deeply ingrained

hey, thanks for letting me know. I think thats cloudflare, as its a pretty standard wordpress blog that I've not actively enabled settings to hide stuff behind captchas etc. Not really sure why it happens, but im taking a look

 

Reddit may have won by shutting down the protest against its API changes, but not without lasting damage to its relationship with its users.

No, the value is in pulling in posts with a hashtag that arent being followed yet. But it feels like that isnt really possible yet, and that someone from kbin.social has to follow the account?

 

I've been looking for a usecase to see where the combination of Threads and Microblog was particularly useful, and with the news around the potential superconductor #LK99 I figured this would be an interesting test case. So I made a magazine on kbin.social for LK99, and added the hashtags to tags in settings.

But now only some tagged posts show up under microblog. So it does work, because otherwise 0 posts would appear. But if I search on mastodon.social for #LK99, I get way more posts, and only about a third of them show up on Kbin.

Its probably something to do with federation, but I'm not really sure where it goes wrong. Interestingly, even some posts that are made on mastodon.social that are correctly tagged do not show up on kbin, even though other posts from mastodon.social do. I even made sure to follow this account with my mastodon.social account to guarantee federation between the servers.

Anyone has an idea how this works? And if there is a way to force more of the posts to show up?

So my understanding with this new info is that LK99 is quite likely to be 'something', right? That something certainly does not have to be a superconductor, or anything even remotely impactful.

But am I understanding it correctly that the explanations of pure fraud or 'cat walked on keyboard during original measurements' can be mostly ruled out?

Denk dat dit een kandidaat is waar je wel stemmen bij d66 en cda kan wegtrekken

Top! Had wel verwacht dat er mee ingestemd zou worden, maar 90% had ik niet verwacht, erg cool dat het zo breed gedragen wordt

Yeah invite list sped up quite a lot last few weeks, often 5k a day

The Nordic Council of Ministers set up a Think Tank for digital strategy stuff last year, and they published their recommendations two months ago. They specifically advised all the Nordic governments to go all in on ActivityPub.

The global labor force of outsourced and contract workers are early adopters of generative AI — and the most at risk.

Vandaag lanceren wij onze overheidsserver op Mastodon.

In de brief die ik aan de Kamer heb gestuurd over 'Digitale gemeenschapsgoederen' op 22 juni, heb ik aangegeven dat ik twee waardengedreven alternatieven voor social media ondersteun.

Een van deze alternatieven is een 'eigen' Mastodon-server die door overheidsorganisaties gebruikt worden.

Hiermee zetten we weer een stap in onze Werkagenda Waardengedreven Digitaliseren.

Thank you for the update and thoroughness! That growth from may to june is insane, massive props for keeping this all working and afloat!

Does anyone know how the algorithm for 'hot' works in the microblog section of #Kbin?

How many humans does it take to make tech seem human? Millions.

 

The growth of Lemmy and Kbin continues with the #redditmigration. Flickr is considering ActivityPub support, and new proposals to help people join the fediverse.

 

Russia's demands for a peace deal will be totally unrealistic, so it is hard to see how the war can end as long as Putin is president in
