Hope you feel better soon!
I have to say that I agree with others there are significant structural issues with the benevolent dictatorship type governance model. A team of people with diverse skills, strengths, weaknesses, commitments and all that is needed to bring a project like this to its potential.
Establishing a committee of some sort to share the work is really going to allow your efforts to shine to a greater degree and highlight your contributions, not diminish them. Perhaps getting in touch with some organization like Software Freedom Conservancy for advice? They exist to help with this sort of thing:
Conservancy assists FLOSS project leaders by handling all matters other than software development and documentation, so the developers can focus on what they do best: improving the software for the public good.
for myself I find the existing android clients far from adequate. if you have filters, folders, identities etc it is a fuck tonne of set up. last time i tried i just gave up.
Idk anything about this person in specific but my guess is that @ferralcat is referring to "legacy students". If you search for that term alone or in combination with "Standford" you can read all about what those words mean. The words have very well-understood meanings. For example:
Nearly 18% of Class of 2023 are legacy students or relatives of donors, report reveals
https://github.com/hackjutsu/Lepton ? I do not follow how this is relevant?
working hard and nepotism aren't mutually exclusive
actually what you said was
any opinion
it's not a crime. but you know lemmy isn't a court of law right? you sound like an asshole.
whether it deserves a ban I guess that depends on the context.
sorry but that's like the dumbest thing anyone ever said. have you heard of intagram facebook tiktok linkedin grindr tindr and every other APP
it's like going to a party and then just hanging out in the kitchen. or spending the whole night out on the porch smokin cigs.
madness
in summer 2023, when I moved here from reddit, the lemmy instance beehaw.org was extremely divisive. they wanted to create a website according to certain rules rather than a free for all. some people were saying it would be the end of the threadiverse before it even began.
since that time, there have been various other intrinsic and extrinsic threats. I do not see much panicking about beehaw. did the threadiverse survive beehaw? or is this only a shell of what we might have had otherwise?
well on its way to become the defacto centralized Git hoster.
If this isn't Github already, what is?
Maybe this is why the data set was chosen. But does anyone else notice the huge jump between the last and second-last items?

Once you get past the george takei / neil gaimen top 5-10 zone it is a pretty smooth descent til this very sharp drop.
PS @BentiGorlich this post is tagged as being german language on kbin.
As a workaround, if you go to your notifications inbox page, near the top right of the content area there is a little "feed" icon. It is a link to a private RSS feed to your notifications. You can use an RSS reader like a standalone application or a browser plugin to monitor. You can get a notification that way.
Above instructions are for the default lemmy interface as it appears on desktop. You can't find the link in some other interfaces. And kbin doesn't have notification inbox at all that I can find.
It's a bit weird to only be on discord don't you think?
do they just post their code in a chat or something?
@melroy Dude, you need to reign in your street team. This post and all the others like it are harassment done on behalf of you and your project. And you are here posting in support, condoning it.
Tracking a person's online activity is fucked up stalker behavior. It doesn't matter what role they play in what project. It is harassment and obviously intended to menace. No matter what OP says, everyone can see this is the case. Look at the comments on the page. Do you see comments like this about any other open source project?
It's really likely this will escalate. Nothing good is going to come of this. Kbin won't be developed any faster. Mbin's reputation will deteriorate, attract fewer users/contributors than it otherwise might have and specifically repel friendly helpful people who don't appreciate this kind of thing. Your instances may be de-federated for failing to stop harassment. OP will sink further and further into whatever miserable spiral they are in. You personally will be associated with all of it because as a community leader you come here to encourage OP in this unhinged behavior. Find a way to redirect this energy into something that is useful for your project, or disassociate from it.
who is the judge of the server side code? what about the terrible green on white default lemmy color scheme? who is the judge of https? who is the judge of the physical infrastructure of the internet? who is the judge of wifi6?
omg it goes so deep judges everywhere judging me!!!!!!!
global blocklists
good thing nobody suggested that..... And if they did it would be completely unenforceable.
Imagining for a second that I had the technical ability to do so. The thought of running a lemmy server and letting random people make accounts sounds scary to me. Especially a "general purpose" one. I would feel responsible for the crappy stuff posted by users. How do people cope with that.
Also would not be able to conduct the "investigations" required to determine if an instance was csam etc. Because that means you have to go and check it out! we can't have a system where every admin is basically required to view CSAM. that's crazy.
So far, not a problem that I have noticed or even seen discussed.
Moderation is very light compared to reddit. I hope it will become more mature as moderators can really make special contributions.
Quickly scanned your post history and it's a bunch of nasty nonconstructive comments with a similar tone to the above. If you experience problems with mods everywhere you go, it's probably due to your own behavior.
When I join threadiverse (summer 2023), soon everyone was talking about Threads and how it was about to destroy the whole thing.
Then nothing came of it and the whole convo kinda vanished.
Why didn't threads destroy threadiverse already?
On desktop kbin is 5x better than vanilla lemmy.
But on mobile I have several FLOSS lemmy clients. They all have their pros n cons. Their development is spread out with different projects. Work and the responsibility are distributed from the main lemmy maintainers.
The kbin webapp is pretty good, but not as good as a native client. There is of course only one.
My feeling is that designing for clients (having an API) imposes some kind of discipline on projects. Like you can't just do whatever willy nilly.
My other feeling is that kbin is setting up to be like iCloud whereas lemmy is more akin to sftp.
Thoughts?
When I Find-in-page for a term using ctrl+f or "find as you type" with "Highlight all" turned on, all results will appear highlighted. But then much of the time several seconds (variable) later it goes away, as though I had hit esc. If I hit ctrl+g for "find again" it starts again at the top. So current place in page is lost.
This happens even if I take my hands away from keyboard/mouse. It is not some kind of input I am doing.
Does this sound framiliar to anyone? Is there a way to make the "find" results stay found?
Or is there an add-on which reliably implements Find?
I have problem on multiple devices, for a long time, and with linux, windows and mac.

hello friends of rblind. I am a sighted person who follows the kbin-core repo. I saw an issue #1143 opened recently regarding the use of alt in markdown. I am having a hard time discerning whether it is a productive request or not.
I understand that rblind is not a free-of-charge accessibility consultation company. But I thought I would point out this issue in case anyone had an interest in contributing to the discussion.
If I am posting in error, please either remove it or notify me so I can remove or edit the post.

A modern, maintained replacement for ls. Contribute to eza-community/eza development by creating an account on GitHub.
I just learned:
https://github.com/ogham/exa the ls replacement has been replaced by https://github.com/eza-community/eza
the exa repo says:
> > > exa is unmaintained, use the fork eza instead. > (This repository isn’t archived because the only person with the rights to do so is unreachable). > >
For the curious, looks like the story, contributor deliberations and conversations are here: [Question] Is this project still being actively maintained? · Issue #1139 · ogham/exa
hope everyone involved is OK & on to other projects
both projects are MIT licensed and written in rust.

I'd like a keyboard shortcut to act in the same way as the toobar button "show sidebars":
-
If the sidebar is open, it hides it
-
If the sidebar is closed, it opens to the last used sidebar
This page, Keyboard shortcuts - Perform common Firefox tasks quickly only describes how to toggle individual sidebars. History, bookmarks etc. So depending what is open you have to use unique shortcuts.
Is it possible?
I \<3 FF but they are really stingy about the keyboard shortcuts.
Secure a place in history. Create the source material for hundreds of journalists, bloggers and shitposters writing about the downfall of reddit and the rise of the threadiverse. (also missing!)
At some point, there will be some sort of drama involving kbin. It could be constructive drama or not; who knows.
When it happens, whatever it is, lots of people will direct themselves to wikipedia to learn about what this website is. We all know wikipedia can be very influential. Even in the absence of drama.
I can't believe how fast this addon was developed into something that is super useful.
A month ago I made a list of all the available addons to address this need. There were I think 4-5 of them and I actually didn't end up using any of them because they were too simple and didn't add much for my usecase.
In the intervening days (days!) this project has really fleshed out. I am impressed that you've managed to make an interface that makes sense. I wasn't sure if that would be possible because it is kind of an inherently complex situation.
And on top of that, it works. There are issues with federation which are network wide and not much you can do about that. But as much as the threadiverse is willing to cooperate, this addon smooths the experience.
Thanks, I really appreciate this.
I am not sure what is correct to put in kbin-core/issues without cluttering it up with somewhat speculative requests. I have no idea how to implement this or whether it is possible. So I will post here?
This is a response to issue \#635 - Editor support for autocompletion when a user types /m/, /c/, /u/, or @

I keep wishing for UUIDs or hashes or an internal link shortener or permalink something.
These are the same post on different instances:
- https://fedia.io/m/firefox/t/132144 \<- this is the instance where the community lives
- https://lebowski.social/post/12337 \<- this is the poster's home instance
- https://kbin.social/m/firefox@fedia.io/t/237162
- https://beehaw.org/post/6759290
It would be nice if it would have a unique ID like e3d14d6c-28d7-11ee-be56-0242ac120002 across the \*verse. I can't be the first person to think of this right? Why is ity either not a good idea, or not a viable idea?
I imagine 2 variations. I am not attached to any of the particulars... Just spitballing. What do you think?
/local/uuid----------
/local/e3d14d6c-28d7-11ee-be56-0242ac120002 - this link would bring the user to the post on the instance where you are viewing it.
So if someone writes in a comment:
``` check out this post!
```
and you are viewing it on beehaw, it renders like this:
``` <p>check out <a href="https://beehaw.org/post/6759290">this post</a>!</p>
```
if you are viewing it on kbin.social, it renders like this:
``` <p>check out <a href="https://kbin.social/m/firefox@fedia.io/t/237162">this post</a>!</p>
```
/orig/uuid----------
On the other hand we need a way to link to the particular item as it appears "originally". To do this, you could write:
``` check out this post!
```
And irrespective of where you are looking at it, it will render like this:
``` <p>check out <a href="https://fedia.io/m/firefox/t/132144">this post</a>!</p>
```
I am not 100% sure if the correct behaviour for this is to link to the community home instance or the poster's home instance? I went with community home but maybe there is argument for the other way, or for both.
Hello everyone - this community is in need of a few new mods and you can use the comments on this post to volunteer and let us know why you’d...
Im sure theyre going to find the perfect mods
I would like to suggest that developers consider as much flexibility when trying to interact with links/handles from off-instance and off-kbin (e.g. lemmy) as possible. I would like for it to work on lemmy in a similar fashion.
I think that the various "incorrect" ways of doing things should work as redirects assuming this would not cause a technical problem. It could even explain the correct way of doing things if you'd like to discourage it.
Non exhaustive examples:
communities
as an example: https://lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists
search kbin.social for https://lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists - finds occasions where people have mentioned the URL in comment/post
Most lemmy instances suggest searching for a group in a way that doesn't work:
search kbin.social for
for !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca - finds occasions where people have mentioned the handle in comment/post
you need to replace ! with @ to find it:
search kbin.social for
for @wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca - works as expected
So the kbin.social URL is https://kbin.social/m/wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
But what about variations a person could try based on principals of how things work e lsewhere:
https://kbin.social/m/@wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
https://kbin.social/m/!wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
even allowing use of the /c/ instead of the /m/?
profiles
profiles have similar inconsistencies.
I can view this off-instance profile on kbin.social: https://kbin.social/u/@btschumy@mas.to
but if I try to drop my own username into the same structure, it doesn't work: https://kbin.social/u/@density@kbin.social
The only way to see my profile is (I think) https://kbin.social/u/density
Hope this all is intelligible.
/r/Firefox and /r/FirefoxCSS have both moved to fedia.io kbin instance.
from kbin.social I can access Firefox. But I can't access FirefoxCSS. I waited about 90 mins since first trying. Should I just wait longer or is there some other issue?
@Firefox@fedia.io

If you ever have the problem of forgetting you were writing something and closing a window, or accidentally navigating away from the page on which you are composing, this is the browser extension to save your ass: Form History Control.
-
Documentation: Form History Control (II)
-
Git repo: stephanmahieu/formhistorycontrol-2
-
[Firefox Addon]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/form-history-control/)
In kbin I especially have this problem as I get logged out constantly for some reason, for example while I am composing even a fairly short comment, and if I submit while logged out the text vanishes. But everything is stored in the extension. It is local to your machine where it will be secure.
I am using it for a year or two now and it has been flawless. It doesn't cause any slowdown in browser performance. It is unnoticeable until that moment you need it.
Archiveteam's Reddit project is working to save reddit content from the hungry maw of corporate destruction.
Archiveteam (AT) is a group which according to their website,
> > > is in no way affiliated with the fine folks at ARCHIVE.ORG > >
However, the goals and philosophy of archive.org, aka The Wayback Machine, aka The Internet Archive do have significant overlap with AT. AT is coordinated by a staff member of archive.org, and the products of their work are typically donated to archive.org.
They do missions to save particular collections of internets which are under imminent or generalized threat of deletion. One way to participate is by installing their custom Warrior VM software on your computer and it will use your home internet connection to pretend to be a user and systematically crawl/save the material in a coordinated fashion which evades detection.
There can be other tasks if you can't or don't want to run that software. For example if the Warriors are triggering captchas, they can forward the captchas to users who sit around solving them. So you can solve captchas on other people's computers so those computers can proceed unattended.
Here is the tracker showing the moment to moment progress. At time of writing it display 13.58 billion items weighing in at 3.06 petabytes (3,060,000 GB).
Here is a reddit post from a month ago going over this specific project.
You can find more comprehensive info on their website. They coordinate via IRC.
On desktop, I was trying to figure out how to get from the notifications list ( https://kbin.social/settings/notifications ) to the specific comment.
It just links to the top of the thread and I have to ctrl-F for my handle. Which doesn't work easily on long threads or nested comments.
The link in notifications includes an anchor, for example #entry-comment-612642.
If I find the comment and click more \> share URL, I get the same anchor link, which also just links to the top of the thread, example: https://kbin.social/m/reddit@lemmy.world/t/152720/r-BotDefense-is-shutting-down-I-hope-Reddit-likes-spam-and#entry-comment-612642
If I click more \> copy URL to fediverse, I get a correctly working link on the commenter's home instance: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/768070
\\If there is some problem generating links to comments by people outside kbin, I would suggest that notifications should link back to my comment that they are responding to. For the above example, more \> share URL for my comment is https://kbin.social/m/reddit@lemmy.world/t/152720/-/comment/659758, which works properly. At least it is a little closer to the target.\\ Edited out because this does not help actually. And edited the title to remove reference to this.
If you are looking for assistance in trying to interact with pages found on instances other than the one on which you have an account, here is what I believe is available so far.
you can see the same information as a table here.
note: this information will certainly become out of date in the near future. I advise you to conduct a fresh search for up to date information
Update July 3, 2023: I fixed the links hopefully. While I was doing that, I included links to chrome store where developer provided them. But I didn't search the chrome store itself.
