  • If your company also pays for your phone's data bill, we can see a general overview of what sites you visit.

  • Question: Where is federated content stored?
  • It's stored on all 4.

    Regardless of which on you create the content on, assuming they all federated with each other correctly, every instance hosts its own copy of your posts.

  • All of the above

  • Australia’s internet providers are ditching email, to the disgust of older customers
  • Even changing your email address isn't that hard. I used to only have 1 Gmail address for everything before I realized it was a bad idea to have all my eggs in the Google basket.

    I changed maybe, 100? services to my new email addresses and it took about 30 minutes tops.

  • Linus Tech Tips apology video - BEST PARTS
  • Ooooh that's good

  • No Adblock is a deal breaker.
  • Standards are good. What's not good is that Google controls the standards.

    Open source or not, Google currently has the ability to dictate web standards as they see fit.

    Why? There are 2 reasons:

    • Chrome has a 63.55% marketshare (as of the time of this writing) of all web browser usage
    • Maintaining your own fork of Chromium or even your own separate browser engine (Like Firefox does) is extremely difficult.

    There's a reason so many of these browsers just use Chromium. It's because Google is doing the Lion's share of the work. Modern web browsers are some of the most complicated pieces of software ever written. They are comparable in complexity to entire operating systems.

    When Google makes a change to the Chromium project everyone follows suit, lest you fork it which leaves development and ensuring interoperability entirely up to you. The complexity of this task depends on how far you want to take your browser.

    Even those who fork Chromium will pull changes made by Google to the original Chromium project because making and maintaining your own web browser is really, really difficult.

  • How do I subscribe to/view content that hasn't been added to Kbin yet?
  • Yeah I receive the same error messages.

    On a similar note some posts/profiles/instances that are federating don't always show up.

    Searching for this post for example
    https://wandering.shop/@rosemarymosco/110816590584504755
    Shows no results when using the URL or full user string @rosemarymosco@wandering.shop

    However, manually entering the complete URL into the address bar kbin.social/u/@rosemarymosco@wandering.shop will show the profile correctly as well as the post that we were just searching for

  • How do I subscribe to/view content that hasn't been added to Kbin yet?
  • I've tried following this diagram but it still seems to get stuck.

    I've searched with the direct URL of an individual post from new external sites, but kbin will get stuck loading and error-out.

    Let's take this random post for example:
    https://seafoam.space/notice/AYI854xYInmT1aebke

    Search function doesn't seem to like it

    How do I subscribe to/view content that hasn't been added to Kbin yet?

    I haven't figured out how to view new content through kbin which hasn't been "added" yet.

    If I go to "kbin.social/d/mastodon.social" I can view posts from that Mastodon instance.

    But if I go to, say, "kbin.social/d/seafoam.space" it doesn't work.

    I've tried:

    • Searching for the urls (website.example, https://website.example) in the search bar
    • Appending "!" and "@" (!website.example, @website.example)
    • Searching for specific users, including with prefixes (user@website.example, @user@website.example, !user@website.example)
    • Adding the kbin URL to the previous examples (kbin.social/d/@website.example .../m/@website.example .../d/website.example) Etc etc

    I'm probably doing something completely wrong but I can't seem to get Kbin to pick up on new content it hasn't seen before.
