I use IMGBB, been using it for my Friendica as it gives convenient cut and paste BB Code which Friendica can parse. I did test Kbin and found it parses the HTML code they offer... Or at least did when I was testing, let's see, does this work?

I quite like Friendica for the purpose, venera.social I believe is one of the founding instances.
DC is a bit of an oddity, it's not a state, so there's no governor to deploy the guard, plus much of their governance has to be approved by Congress, this is part of the reason that there's a push for DC statehood, residents are getting tired of this mess.
Celebrities don't always cost much, you have to remember that those high rates they get paid are optional, there's a base pay for actors, and they can take that rather than their typical high pay if'n they want. Throw in that in a lot of ways voice acting is easier (no costumes, make up, no standing around for a scene to be set up, etc), and it's effectively a quick and easy buck for actors.
The UX, the other is...

...inline images, assuming that still works. I store my images on IMGBB which gives copy and paste code for the images, and this works here but not on Lemmy.
This is also why Tumblr maintains it's ban on porn, Visa and Mastercard exclusively process their own cards, and wield that as a weapon against what they don't like.
I've tried it a couple times, it's neat, lots of features, but that makes it a bit confusing. I've also had trouble finding a stable English speaking general purpose server that's reliable, all the one's I used were down more than they were up. You might want to look at Calkey or whatever they're calling it now, that's an active fork.
@lusterko I've had luck with inline images using code from IMGBB where I store my pics:

Though I will say going back, they seem to have broken, so we'll seen if'n this even works now.
Code:

My Kbin rambling thoughts...
Ok, thought it was time to post this.
I've been running a testing group over at fedia.io so I could see if'n Kbin was for me, and I'm really happy, definitely prefer it over Lemmy.
Inline images work fine, I host images on IMGBB, and they give you cut and paste code for images, all I had to do was switch to HTML instead of BBCode, and Bob's your uncle, unlike Lemmy and it's markup language where I'd have to code in the images m'self. Not sure how well it works with Mastodon, I did test follow one of my Mastodons, but considering how often Fedia throws up 500 errors, along with the fact that there doesn't seem to be a way to view only subscribed microblogs, I've been unable to test this Links parse and thumbnail fine, no work on my part.
So, why does this matter? Well, right now I have my own Mastodon instance, and it looks like Kbin will make a very good replacement for that, from the memes and short content that I post to my personal account to the link sharing on Taurnation which can now become a community, this will definitely be a better fit. It might also replace my Friendica, as long content like this works fine too. Just have to wait for iKnox to start offering Kbin, I've already volunteered to be a guinea pig.
So, what would make it perfect? An RSS reader, Friendica has this, and I find it great to be able to subscribe to news and comics just like following anyone else on the Fediverse.
Yep, that's the only feature I need for this to be the perfect replacement for everything I'm doing.
This sounds familiar, I'm kinda the same way, I describe m'self as male as I happen to be that way, but if'n it changed tomorrow? Sure, why not, in fact several of my online characters are intersex, specifically the ones that I would be most happy becoming.
Yep, the ones that feel most right are a little from column A and a little from column B.
When it comes to sexuality, I've given up trying to figure that out, and simply refer to m'self as queer, since I think that and my gender are a bit mercurial, so an umbrella term that basically means not 'normal'/traditional/standard seems best.
Best I could say is do what makes you happy, and be patient, it's a journey, sometimes one without an end, sometimes with, so just explore and enjoy.
I use a Schlage model that I'm pretty happy with that is as far as I know compatible with Google Assistant, though I like it because it doesn't require a system like that.
I think we need a new Judicial Act that fixes the flaws with the original. Tie the number of justices to... the number of Appellate Courts? I think that's where they got the original number of nine from, though it's grown as the country has grown. Extend the Federal Judicial Ethics rules to all Federal courts, even the Supreme Court. Those two at the very least, maybe we can come up with some other good things, qualifications? Term limits? Age limits?
Definitely over stepping. Sure, if'n the lunch was nothing but junk food, I could maybe understand this, but from the sound of it, this is the only treat, and it's not too bad.
Trying both Lemmy and Kbin at the same time and have set up test groups on both.
So, in general, I think I like the Kbin interface a slight bit more, but both, especially Kbin, could use better access to your subscribe magazines, I miss Reddit's drop down list, but at the very least, Kbin needs to make subscriptions easier to access rather than hiding it in a menu.
Now, to the testing. So far we've only done images, and Kbin is a lot better than Lemmy. I haven't been able to get Lemmy to do inline images, but here? Hardest thing was figuring out what code it parses as IMGBB offers BBCode and HTML. Not only does the HTML work perfectly, thumbnails work, clicking takes you to the full sized image. Doesn't open in a new tab, but that's minor.
Why is this a big deal? I'm thinking of replacing my Mastodon instance with Kbin or Lemmy, and maybe even replacing my Friendica, and inline images are important for that. Give me a feed reader, an Android app and an easy sharing option, and Kbin will be perfect, though it is decent already.
Oh, and speaking of the test magazine, if'n y'all want to try any posting options, feel free to use it.
Does the old Google docs trick work? Promote a user to Admin, then remove yourself, now it's theirs.
@shakcked I've had it on both, though on the computer I was able to get it to work by duplicating the tab, but that hasn't worked on Android. Android I'm trying out a few clients, I had problems with Lemmur and Jerboz so I found a few more to try. On the computer I have to use Epiphany to use Lemmy
Anyone having trouble with Lemmy and Firefox?
Right now I'm having log in problems, along with it showing no content, however if'n I click on communities, the list shows up for a fraction of a second while the page is loading, and then I'm presented a blank page. I've turned off a few extensions, whitelisted the tab in No Script, and even started in troubleshooting mode, but it hasn't made any difference.
