You already saw my comments on lemmy.zip., so we know that's working. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to mess with fedia and other stuff because I have work tonight and should have been in bed over an hour ago.
Fair haha. We'll def test out fedia some more too. I can see a couple of the posts I made on fedia federated to lemmy.zip, kbin.social still isn't seeing it, dbzer0 just did so it could be working its way finally.
My only concern with Lemmy is it locks out the mastodon people
i don't know a lot about kbin but i know i can access lemmy posts and everything from my mastodon account - or is there tighter integration in kbin?
Did you try to follow people here? Because on /kbin you can. Even from Mastodon. Even, when their posts don't match any magazine.
Mastodon users can and do post on Lemmy threads, Lemmy users just can't read what they post that aren't replies(whereas kbin users can, when federation is working). You'll notice microblog users because they use mentions when replying.
Oh okay! That's good to know!
@roguetrick @GeekFTW @Montagge well it tags in replies by default
but i can remove the tags when I reply if I want to (or change the settings from default)
This is a great point. Does fedia do the same?
Not at all. Fedia runs a fork of /kbin and it should work the same like on /kbin.
I still very much dislike Lemmy, and really like K/Mbin but they are both shitting the bed on Federation... I understand why things are heavily leaning toward Lemmy, I don't have to like it though and obviously, I made an account to keep posting with you lot.
I'm with you on that. Lemmy's interface, UI, whatever you want to call it just doesn't appeal to me that much. It really sucks that Kbin shit the bed.
It's quite disappointing. That being said Fedia is still on the options list once more of us test it out and ensure we can all see it and have no issues.
I legit just got notifications just now at 5:23am for the convo we were having yesterday, on the other thread, via fedia lol
I'm getting notifications randomly that are old as hell lol
Got the notification for this one *checks* 15h later lmao
I didn't get notified of this until 3 AM this morning, so it seems even on Kbin notifications are delayed sometimes by hours.
Another left field option: I'm happy to turn over squaredcircle@sh.it.just.works if ya want.
Regardless I really wish we moved before the ppv. My Lemmy app doesn't see this post or the ppv thread π’.
I've seen a few comments about UI on lemmy and just wanted to put it out there that we also have these interfaces you can use:
old.lemmy.zip and m.lemmy.zip - and while yes usually the m denotes a mobile interface but it also works really well on desktop/tablet if you don't like the usual lemmy interface :)
there's also draculemmy - https://userstyles.world/style/10759/draculemmy-a-dracula-theme-for-lemmy :)
I will ultimately go where the community goes, you guys are the reason I'm still here. No matter where we go, there will be some growing pains.
Just makes ya miss the days of normal forums (which technically is an option for us for the record with phpbb [or tapatalk if we were truly desperate lmao] but we'd shoot ourselves in the foot discoverability and growth wise lol.)
@GeekFTW I was able to follow lemmy.zip but i didn't see any content to comment on so I tried to post a test thread. libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-1β¦
My instance lemmy.ca or maybe my app, summit, can't find !squaredcirle@fedia.io but can !squaredcircle@lemmy.zip though it won't let me subscribe for Some reason.
I posted on .zip. Voyager doesn't seem to want to handle the fedia.io link
I was able to comment and subscribe to lemmy.zip using Summit, but it couldn't find !squaredcirle@fedia.io
A) fedia doesn't appear to be syncing with sh.itjust.works
B) lemmy.zip works well, and we're now over 90 users!
Just about to start the PPV (after waking up to like fucking forty plus notifications coming through from the last few days jesus fuck kbin.
I'm quite glad to see with 184 comments that kbin seemingly didn't shit the bed during the PPV (though I didn't go through the comments yet so maybe it did at some point lol).
I'm gonna make another post or two on Fedia today and keep testing federation as well while catching up on the show, but I do wanna take a moment to thank all of you for the patience you've had lately with how shits been going. This has been the kind of shit that makes a mother fucker wanna go back to Reddit (if Reddit wasn't run by coked up half dead knob-heads of course) but we'll get through this shit.
Edit: Fedia is currently 1h since posting and nothing visible on 3-4 other instances.
