Spoilers are now implemented on /kbin, but it seems they aren't federated yet. Lemmy just displays /kbin spoilers in plaintext HTML, while /kbin still doesn't display Lemmy spoilers.
You might be interested in today's entry to kbin's devlog. The lead developer shared what he has planned for the near future, and supporting lemmy spoilers is on the list of what he'll be working on over the next few days.
For example, I finally learned how something works after months of trying to wrap my head around it. Didn’t end up using it for a few months more, and now I forgot it again. I’m back to square one, trying to relearn things I already learned.
If this is such a frequent problem, start writing down what you've learnt. Get a notetaking app (my personal choice is obsidian) and record any knowledge that took you work to acquire. Then next time you need it you can just check your notes and there it is, instead of having to put all that work into it again.
Fully blocking only if you aren't using uBlock Origin
Not even that, I use Adblock Plus and have no trouble accessing Youtube and watching videos. Didn't even need to update any filters, it just keeps working as-is.
I'm not using the most popular one (I use Adblock Plus, which iirc most people hate) and I can also freely use Youtube with it turned on. So it's not about ublock.
Oh, it seems to support PayPal only when the recipient uses PayPal as the payment processor. Is what the FAQ says. In which case PayPal is required, not just an option. TIL
This seems to already be implemented and probably coming once Ernest is able to finish the update. You might be able to find other instances that are already featuring this.
Like, I saw strings regarding this when contributing to translations yesterday. Some setting in the sidebar's gear menu to toggle the position.
Not surprising, given they were the only ones serious about advertising. We got so many leaflets from them at work and home and I even saw them on Reddit, yet nothing at all on those distribution channels from any other parties. I've seen some billboards by others, but it feels like 80% of the ones I've seen were SVP.
I personally hate them and didn't vote for them, but I don't think it's surprising they have such a big following.
kbin.social's admin (and kbin currently only supports one admin per instance) is also the main dev.
As I understand it, the sudden unexpected popularity of kbin caused infrastructure issues and made fixing bugs and limitations more important, while he still has to reach his feature goals to secure funding so he can actually continue working on kbin full-time. Additionally, real life had a lot of negative surprises in store he had to deal with.
All in all, he hasn't had much time at all to properly moderate the instance, And the past two weeks he's been gone entirely for real life reasons, leaving the instance unmoderated.
It's not an issue with the software itself, just with kbin.social (and of course other badly moderated instances) specifically.
Even if lemmy.ml is blocked or even defederated, its communities should remain, just not threads and comments made by lemmy.ml users. But you might still see @lemmy.ml communities show up in your feed if someone from lemmy.world or kbin.social made a thread there.
It seems there's been some unexpected irl issues that have prevented ernest from properly working on the update.
However, I'm almost ready to continue on this journey, so you can expect that in the near future, there will be a banner with information and the update date of the instance and release. After that, we will work on avoiding such longer development downtimes in case of my absence.
