By the way @ernest, it looks like the API has not been properly set up on kbin.social - probably an issue with the public/private key set up. I got a 500 error attempting to visit /api/entries

Not yet - the API is still being reviewed for integration into the main kbin codebase. artemis.camp is using the prerelease code to test the app. If another kbin instance decides to use the prerelease code I believe it might be able to be used on that instance as well, but I'm not 100% on if that's been implemented by Artemis

At least one mistake in there though, since you can definitely block instances in Kbin too. It's not the most obvious though.

Also:

• kbin does have an instance wide moderation log in the footer: https://kbin.social/modlog
• kbin supports markdown, though it does not have a preview feature yet
• kbin allows you to block users just like you can block magazines and domains, though there is no way to filter specific words (yet)
• (probably a few more, but those were the ones that I noticed)

@maxeddy

A single health check call a minute by a single app is nothing compared to real world usage

Yeah, it definitely is not a drop in for Lemmy's API, so if Sync were to support my API for kbin it would be an additional layer for them to add.

I've been working on the API, and it is pretty much feature complete (barring feedback) and should be entering review very soon.

Fedia is just another kbin instance, not really a fork. It is tracking the development branch a bit closer than kbin.social, but it's still the same repo

Lemmy stores who upvoted what but does not make it easily available to everyone like kbin does - you can set up a Lemmy instance to grab upvoted and read them from the DB if you are so inclined, or you could just look at kbin to see the same info

There will be, https://kbin.social/m/artemisapp

The API is on its way though, I've only got a few more endpoints and permissions to add before it will be ready for testing

Looking in ImageRepository.php it doesn't appear that images have their extra data stripped. Also testing it on my dev instance showed that GPS data remained in the image. Should be an easy fix since all image uploads are processed through that repository.

Edit: In fact there's already an issue open for it - https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/374

kbin users:

Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power

/s

Only on kbin, on lemmy that doesn't exist (yet)

kbin has the ability to see activity including upvotes, boosts, and downvotes from the UI for entries, comments, and microblogs

Language filtering is in progress right now, hopefully it can make it soon to help alleviate those pain points - most of my blocklist is due to posts being in languages I don't speak as well

A feature we'll definitely want to have with kbin in the future is the ability to migrate accounts to other instances. That would mean that even though we're centralizing on kbin.social right now, people could move to other instances and spread the load across the fediverse without losing their history

You can block domains if you click on the domain next to the post, go to the sidebar and block it like a magazine
