Is kbin dead in the water?

Still no API to enable official apps and no moderation tools. It really feels like it's lagging behind Lemmy at this point. Lemmy's growth has significantly outpaced kbin and it feels like it's going to just die a slow death now. EDIT: Case in point, there are 3 comments on this thread and I cannot see any of them.

  • Anyone know of a USB 3.2 gen2 or lower 2.5gbe adapter that works well with Unraid? I know it's my old friend Slackware under the hood but I'm not sure how far that will get me since it seems to be pretty well stripped down. I'm fresh out of PCIe slots in my little box but have plenty of USB 3.2 gen2 ports to go around since the only USB device I use is my UPS.

We also had some fun with euro game covers and before that, we had… Continue reading

    Are there any full featured alternatives to PhotoPrism? I'd be happy to support their devs but charging almost $80 a year for basic features like having more than one user is kind of absurd. At that cost I'd rather just pay for the extra dirt cheap storage from Google and keep things there. That said, I'd really love to continue moving everything I can away from the big G and photos is a sticking point because I have a wife and child and other family members who depend on it.

    Kbin instances seem more isolated from each other than from Lemmy instances

    EDIT: Sorry I did not make this clear. I am not presenting this as a techincal problem for admins to solve, but as a community problem. The kbin.social community as the larger instance is not seeking out communities from the smaller instances. When searching for magazines (communities) the results almost always show either kbin.social or one of the major Lemmy instances. I can pull the domains like [https://kbin.social/d/fedia.io](https://kbin.social/d/fedia.io) but when i try to pull a community like [https://kbin.social/m/boardgames@fedia.io](https://kbin.social/m/boardgames@fedia.io) I get a 404 error. To compound the problem lemmy communities are much more discoverable because they are listed on [https://browse.feddit.de/](https://browse.feddit.de/). So even kbin users are largely interacting more through lemmy communities. As far as I know there is no such tool to browse or search communities across all kbin instances. Does anyone know if the lemmy browser can include kbin instances? Fedia.io, the largest other kbin instance seems to have lots of communities on the vine because we largely do not interact with them. But they see the rest of the fediverse like we do. If we want other instances to grow like kbin.social has we probably need to resolve this disconnect between kbin communities.

    Replacing the entire moderation team of 5000+ subs is not a practical solution and Reddit admins know it

    Which is why /u/jailbaitlover I mean /u/spez is sending the message that they would gladly give total power to whatever mod crosses the picket line so they can boot the rest. If Reddit had to replace all these mods it would be complete chaos and is not much better than the blackout. They will see the same exact problems Twitter has seen since they fired most of their content moderators.

    Why YSK: Because you may delete your account and find your comments and other content is restored and beyond your control. DO NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT YET. Keep overwriting your comments over and over so they cannot just roll them back a single edit. I prefer Power Delete Suite as it does not need authorization and just uses the website through your own browser. I will continue to overwrite my comments on repeat until the API changes.

    PSA: Do not direct people to specific instances on the Fediverse.

    You should always direct people to a landing page where they can choose from or be directed to multiple different instances. [https://kbin.pub/en](https://kbin.pub/en) or [https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list](https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list) [https://join-lemmy.org/](https://join-lemmy.org/) or [https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list](https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list) You can direct people away from specific instances if, for example, they have been de-federated.
