@livus@kbin.social Thanks for noticing! 😉
Yes I’m going to catch up with all the changes that happened. It’s cool to hear that Ernest is still here. One of the last things I remember hearing from here when I was active on kbin was that he was considering stepping out of the project and giving the keys to someone else.
@livus@kbin.social Thanks for the info, I didn’t know that!
I must admit I’ve neglected my longboard and moviesFr Kbin communities. I’m glad to learn that this automated process exists. Not only is it a good idea to ensure that magazines can survive and be maintained, but it also makes me want to get back to them and take care to them, because I don’t necessarily want someone else to take over. 😄
@livus@kbin.social To be honest, the thing that made me give up on kbin, a few months ago, was the federation problem between kbin and other services.
The thing is, I have a lot more followers on Firefish than on kbin, and I’d like to be able to boost kbin content with my Firefish account to make it discoverable for people who follow me. But boosting is impossible for “link” type posts, which make up a large portion of the content posted on kbin.
Also, even though I was able to boost “thread” type posts, they didn’t look great on Firefish or Mastodon. Especially on Mastodon where they were reduced to a simple link pointing to the original kbin post, which is not very engaging.
I’m really looking forward to seeing these issues fixed. I think the threadiverse and the micro-blogging communities could benefit a lot from being able to correctly communicate with eachother.
