AMD disables "Anti-Lag+" in all supported games with new graphics drivers
  • The AMD devs must have experimented with injection and test played with the new drivers before release. I wonder why this wasn't caught by Valve then.

    I thought what should have happened was either the dev would get banned, or contacted by Valve and get told they technique should not be used, before driver release, and they could have worked with Valve to fix their code and/or VAC.

  • (CONCLUDED) VOTE: Help decide the future of the Episode Discussion thread bot!
  • I think at least some people do not watch every episode that is released ASAP, so having multiple threads for multiple episodes that are released at once is useful for not spoiling the latter episodes, so that's not spamming IMO.

    That said, even on Reddit where there were more users, those multiple-episode-at-once (or whole series-at-once like netflix) animes tends to get lower discussion participation, especially the episodes in the middle so I understand where you are coming from.

  • (CONCLUDED) VOTE: Help decide the future of the Episode Discussion thread bot!
  • How about a way to request the bot to create a post if it stopped (e.g. due to no one participating in previous episodes)? It would both lower the barrier of entry for people who want to talk about an episode and keep the post format consistent.

  • I felt slightly frustrated when I tried some Lemmy apps and they only offer a few largest instances in the initial setup and leave people to discover/find smaller instances by themselves.

    It is understandable that they don't want to present a thousand choices and confuse people, or get people to sign up for an instance that disappears a week later. Also, larger instances tend to get a snowball effect by receiving more donations / volunteers and scale better, other nodes are also more likely to help them if there are e.g. federation problems.

    However this effectively promotes an centralized ecosystem that both depends on and burdens a small number of key instances.

  • Should we be using hashtags and mentions more?
  • What happens with magazines that don't have tags set, like kbinMeta? It seems that kbin people can select a magazine when they make a new post but (I don't have a Mastodon account) do people from Mastodon have some way to make their post show up in kbinMeta's microblog section or follow kbinMeta's thread/microblog contents?

  • Is kbin.social still having federation issues?
  • Thank you for looking into it. I tried subscribing again and it went through, and several threads just got through to kbinMeta over there, so I'll cautiously say it seems to be fixed now.

    Glad to hear federation is being worked on, it does feel it needs to be more robust to live up to the promise that one gets the same experience no matter which instance (local or remote) one view a magazine from. (I'm not being critical, interoperability is always a hard problem no matter which stage of development it is)

    Again, thanks for the good work and for bringing kbin to us!

  • Is kbin.social still having federation issues?
  • Yes I did that to try out the apps too. wefwef/Voyager is very nice and is being updated frequently and getting new features. Memmy is pretty good too. Lemmy.world was a bit sluggish before they fixed it that’s why I was trying out a less busy instance.

    When Artemis for kbin comes out I’d like to check it out too.

    Is kbin.social still having federation issues?

    I ask because I made an account on https://lemmy.zip and the kbin.social magazines there seems to have incomplete contents. e.g. kbinMeta@kbin.social there only have one thread from 25 days ago. RedditMigration@kbin.social there seemed more up-to-date but number of comments are still less than what I can see directly on kbin.social.

    Another indication of trouble is that when I try to subscribe to a kbin.social magazine (like kbinMeta@kbin.social) it is stuck on Subscribe Pending seemingly forever and does not transition to subscribed/joined status.

    At first I thought it is a configuration problem on lemmy.zip or some recent version Lemmy incompatibility with kbin, but I was able to subscribe to fedia@fedia.io there fine and it seems to be getting updated contents.

    So somehow traffic is not flowing smoothly between kbin.social and lemmy.zip.

    @ernest, I hate to bother you but are you seeing something like this with other instances?

    Is there a difference between /kbin and kbin?

    For example, this magazine is named "/kbin meta" but the description says "Magazine dedicated to discussions about the kbin itself." (emphasis mine.) If you look at https://kbin.pub/en you see both

    > > > /kbin is an open source reddit-like content aggregator and microblogging platform for the fediverse. > >

    and

    > > > Kbin is a decentralized content aggregator and microblogging platform running on the Fediverse network. > >

    So do /kbin and kbin mean the same thing, and is one of them the more "official" name than the other? Just curious.

    I keep clicking on "nn comments" instead of the thread title when opening threads.

    Because on reddit clicking on the thread title takes you to the linked article and not the thread itself.

    How many of you are like me, click on "nn comments" by habit, end up in the comments area and have to scroll back up to see whatever the OP posted?

    (Not saying any of this is kbin's fault, it is just taking a bit of getting used to)

    Opinion: kbin.social having the same name as kbin software can be confusing

    I just joined and would like to say hello!

    Opinion: kbin.social having the same name as kbin software led to confusing magazine names.

    For example, kbinMeta's description says

    > > > Magazine dedicated to discussions about the kbin itself. Provide feedback, ask questions, suggest improvements, and engage in conversations related to the platform organization, policies, features, and community dynamics. > >

    So if I understand correctly, it is about kbin.social-the-site.

    However, kbinDesign's description appears to be about kbin-the-software.

    This led to my confusion whether this is the correct place to write my "say hello" post.

    What do you think?
