Reddit says new accessibility tools for moderators are coming. Mods are skeptical
  • Even if they are coming, I don‘t think any of us which are already here will switch back. They should‘ve thought of this before they broke their platform.

  • Will it ever be possible for kbin to federate with PeerTube?
  • We can already view PeerTube channels in the "Microblogging" tab, as that's the way PeerTube federates to other services.

    At least in theory that should be the case

  • Anyone else dismayed by the limited success and adoption of Odysee (YT alternative) when it comes to Reddit alternatives?
  • I still prefer PeerTube.

    (it's part of the Fediverse. We're also part of the Fediverse here on Kbin and Lemmy.)

  • Help me find a fitting distro
  • NixOS can become quite complex, so maybe stay away from it until you know more about how to manage your system ;)

    The other options you've mentioned here are good, but EndeavourOS is based on Arch, so that may be contradictory to what you've said earlier.

  • Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud
  • It isn't just a fork, its a collection of tools and patches around wine tailored for a specific purpose.

    DXVK, VKD3D and other components aren't part of Wine or Proton's Wine builds, for example. They're extra tools used on-top of Wine.

  • Loving the richness of variety in fediverse
  • I'm surprised how everyone has this issue but me.

    Yeah there's lots of reddit-related content, but not at this scale

  • Favourite game music?
  • Probably not the most unique take, but I still really love Minecraft's soundtrack (and other C418 tracks for that matter).

  • Why Kbin insead Lemmy?
  • There's work being done on #Kmoon.

    You should be able to find it without too much effort.

  • Why Kbin insead Lemmy?
  • How far does "interacted with" go for you?

    as in, does clicking already count as interaction or would you need to comment or vote?

    if it's just viewing the content, then this might be done using a simple userScript as Kbin already remembers which threads you've viewed on the homepage.

  • Can ActivityPub save the internet?
  • man am I glad that my real name is so generic that you don't find me unless you specifically search for keywords associated with what I do (e.g "Codeberg" or "Mastodon")

    it's truly great to have the same name as somebody famous' brother.

  • Can ActivityPub save the internet?
  • Popular pieces of software that's part of the fediverse usually give you either:

    1. Export options - manual export options intended for GDPR-Compliance and peace of mind
    2. Account Move options - Mastodon is best known for this, as you can migrate your profile (but not your posts and followers) to another instance. Anyone which then visits your old page will have it blurred out, linking to your new one.

    #2 could be expanded in the case of Kbin and Lemmy to also include subscribed communities/magazines, settings and some other things where Federation allows for it.

  • Can ActivityPub save the internet?
  • That's what ActivityPub has planned.

    Well, that is kind of what ActivityPub is already allowing us to do.

  • Looking for a Reddit alternative? Lemmy tell you, they currently kinda suck
  • To be entirely fair with Kbin:

    From Kbin.pub: "NOTICE: This is a very early beta version."

  • Will Flatpak and Snap replace desktop Linux native apps?
  • I don't really see Fedora maintainting a patched version of audacity as a fault of Flatpak, though.

    Flathub is designed to allow developers to publish their own software in the way they intended. So Flathub and Flatpak are doing exactly what they're designed to do

  • Will Flatpak and Snap replace desktop Linux native apps?
  • Let's paraphrase to "CLI applications are quite cumbersome to use under Flatpak as per the current implementation".

    Unless you set up your own aliases, you'll have to write out commands like flatpak run ..., and if you don't know the package name yet you'll need to run flatpak list --app first as well

    I hope that in the future, Flatpak gets some improvements for exporting CLI utilities into the user's environment.

  • Are there any downsides to hosting your own instance?
  • it won't be automatically defederated, but you won't have a cache built up, meaning that some older posts in communities you visit, as well as older comments won't show up at first.

    Though, unless you also want to implement a ruleset and moderate the instance (in addition to doing legal stuff), I would advise keeping it closed to yourself.

  • The only place I don't see frontpage news about what's happening with Reddit is on Reddit.
  • I get your frustration, but I think for now these reddit-related news have their place here.

    It'll calm down eventually, of course.

  • Will Flatpak and Snap replace desktop Linux native apps?
  • Users upping permissions is not something that Flatpak is to blame for.

    Flatpak has set the groundwork for sandboxing of desktop apps with a runtime permission system. People dont yet know how to properly use it.
