Hello everyone, sorry to bother, but I'm interested in knowing if it's possible, and how it should be done, to block all the posts that appear in my feed that are not in English (or/and my native language). I don't want to manually block each community because it seems impractical, and I assume there must be a better way, but I haven't found the option, to be honest.
Thank you very much in advance!

I've created a new kbin instance at https://remy.city. Feel free to make it your fediverse home--I believe it could support quite a few users.

Hi all, just logged in with an alt and noticed that all of the posts I had removed from my subreddit were restored. To the two existing mods, they all appeared removed. We had to add a third mod to re-remove the posts.

So there is some admin fuckery afoot. Protect your work and your reputation.

Just a raccoon refuge from reddit

by David Redmond Reddit is a platform used by millions to connect with like-minded people each day. In recent weeks though there’s been controversy on the platform, resulting in a massive protest where many subreddits went dark. One of the subs protesting was r/Blind which went offline for the first time in its ten-year history

hey! I went on reddit to invite people over here on a subreddit..
And asked if someone would be interested to create maintain a magazine/community that don't exist here. I got shit over...
Thoughts?

For my fellow migrants that are still fuzzy on how the fediverse works. It's a year old episode and focuses a bit on nonprofit use, but I found it helpful.

I went nuclear and overwrote and then deleted all my content with PDS. Then I deleted my account, and later found out many of my comments are still up. Since I no longer have the account, I’m screwed unless they comply with my CCPA request.

But it occurs to me that mods can remove comments. Would it be effective to report my own stuff from another account and ask mods to remove them?

took a deep dive into how CEO Steve Huffman went from being Reddit's co-founder to its much-needed savior at a difficult moment—and how he then became the villain at the center of Reddit's still-raging protests: https://slate.com/technology/2023/06/reddit-protests-steve-huffman-api-chaos.html

Since a bunch of redditors are migrating over I thought I'd share the kbinStyles magazine:
https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles

I was a big fan of RES so there's a couple nice scripts that you can find here. Personally I'm using:
-collapsible comments from @artillect
-subscription panel from @Perry

So I want to edit all my posts and comments before the API changes drop but power delete suite doesn't get all comments and forgets a lot, maybe 50%? I have unchecked all boxes about filtering out subs or gilded comments and stuff.

Here's the message I want to leave behind, in case anyone is interested:

I had a reddit and I want it painted black
No comments anymore, I want them to turn to black
I see the subs scroll by forced open by the corp
I have to turn my head until my reddit goes

I have a Mastadon, AND a Kbin now. I'm trying to sign up for different Federated services and link 'em all together. I'm loving this new protocol so much. It's quiet...

It feels similar to the early 2000's internet and I'm loving it.

Screen-readable meme content, meme showing argument with steve huffman reddit ceo u/spez. Spez: Look what you are doing to our reddit communities. Response: These are protests from YOUR BAD ACTIONS. Spez: The community doesn't want these protests, it's just rogue mods. Response: Screenshot of r/mildlyinteresting community vote to continue protests. Spez: It's still not Ok to show people nsfw when they don't want to see it. Response: Screenshots of reddit features to disable or blur NSFW content, and 18+ limits on user accounts accessing nsfw. Spez: You need me! You will com crawling back just wait. Response: Graphs showing the recent explosive growth of Fediverse in Lemmy and kbin.

as much as I want to move this over to mastodon, there isn't really visibility on twitter as-is, but I'm open to the idea!

A better RSS experience

I've been playing around with RSS views of the fediverse hoping to get something comparable to multireddits, but there is a problem.

First of all, it is possible to get reddit feeds on both kbin and lemmy. The URLs look like:

https://KBIN_INSTANCE/rss?magazine=MAGAZINE_NAME
https://LEMMY_INSTANCE/feeds/c/COMMUNITY_NAME?sort=new

Unfortunately, these are problematic when dealing with instances that are not your home instance. Any links to the post page will be absolute remote instance URLs, which means you cannot interact with the post (e.g. leave a comment). The URL really needs to be made relative to your home instance for that to work, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to fix that for a specific post. I can only fix the URL to the magazine/community itself and then hope to locate the post within it again.

If there is a way to get home instance-relative RSS feeds, I'm all ears! Failing that, I might work on a scraper that can take URLs of the form:

https://KBIN_INSTANCE/m/MAGAZINE_NAME@REMOTE_INSTANCE
https://LEMMY_INSTANCE/c/COMMUNITY_NAME@REMOTE_INSTANCE

and generate RSS feeds out of them? But I don't want to reinvent the wheel if something like this is already possible?

It might also be useful to someone trying to write an app with a multireddit-type feature? I will definitely release source if I come up with anything.

EDIT: fixed a typo in URLs

Reddit Admin finally have work to do.

Infinity going subscription-only!

Infinity Announcement

This morning when I opened Infinity to check Reddit, I saw the announcement above: they're going subscription-only. Ironically enough, I couldn't scroll down to see the rest of the message including prices, if there were any. I also couldn't see if there was a button to close the message or start a paid subscription. I couldn't proceed to Reddit at all. My only option was to close the app completely. So I uninstalled it.

That's it for me using Reddit on mobile! Can't say I'll miss it much. But I added a LOT of content to Reddit that way, so it's their loss. Fuck you, spez!
