testing

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568
moreover, i would love to see kbin and mbin devs joining forces, thereby reducing each other’s workload :)

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568
can’t tell how much i enjoy kbin fr 😊

i hope that the project itself will become more stable, and that ernest will find someone to admin kbin.social, so that ernest can focus on software development

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568
i hope so, too!

if mod tools worked better, the microblogging sections could become even more interesting in terms of content, and less of a hassle for moderators 🙏

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568

1. microblog posts: rarely, but once in a while
2. microblog replies: don’t work atm, but i like it!
3. microblog tab: depending on whether i have to micro-manage or not:

• kbin’s mod tools are buggy, e.g. an account banned from a magazine can still spam the microblogging section > mods better look inside the microblog tab …
• otherwise depending on my mood

1. viewing microblog posts in my home feed: all the time - i like it even more on kbin than on specific microblogging fedi platforms tbh
2. aggregated view is great! i keep boosting loads of microblog posts via kbin ✨

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568
defederate!

@bogdugg

The solution, however, is not to reduce the number of instances, but rather to provide more tools for instances to group communities together.

kbin collections are grouping together communities, but unfortunately, collections themselves do not federate
@gicagaf805

@livus
compared to other *keys, sharkey development is rapid atm, but so far, @Amelia and @Marie have not put federation issues with kbin and lemmy into focus - this is why i tagged them

@Vej @scrubbles @Blaze @brome

@livus
accs on misskey and its cutlery set (firefish, foundkey, iceshrimp and sharkey being the most important among them) are mostly unaware of what is happening on the threadiverse

mostly using a hajkey acc myself, i agree with @brome - although i tend to use kbin more frequently now, as kbin development regained steam

if sharkey were able to federate better with both kbin and lemmy, this would be a giant leap @Amelia @Marie

@Vej @scrubbles @Blaze

@indigojasper
wholeheartedly agree!

@Slow

The instance has clearly communicated that it primarily serves as a test instance, i.e. it does not strive for or want to guarantee stability.

that’s just not true > when c.s switched over to dev branch in april 2023, this was not motivated by wanting to become a “test instance” > rather, this was a desperate move to keep the instance afloat which by then had been become quite wonky > afterwards, things got even worse, so the transpicuous idea to rebrand the whole project

noting, absolutely nothing about f.s is about being a test instance > see also atomicpoet’s post about movin away from f.s - f.s was supposed to be a flagship instance, but only evolved into a shipwreck

the biggest disadvantage of firefish: its community which has become like a sect - but that had been going on for a very long time already …
