RTR#27 Aggregate view, work on federation (kbin.social)

Today, a test version of the aggregate view has been introduced on the instance. It's a mix of threadiverse and microblog formats, applying all filters, blacklists, sub filters, languages etc. After selecting *, the links to sub, mod, fav change, and navigation works within the aggregate view....

RTR#25 Further performance improvements (user page, tag page), marking new comments (kbin.social)

Today, I worked on the user and tag pages to make them operate a bit faster and consume fewer hardware resources. Additionally, I implemented the first iteration of marking new comments in visited threads and posts. This is a test change and will be improved over the next few days. It's progressing a bit faster than I initially...

RTR#24 Setting up test environments for federation development, comment wrapping (kbin.social)

Today, I began testing a new instance deployment process, which is an absolute must-have before the release. I also initiated preparations for new test environments that I will be using for developing the federation. The first iteration of comment wrapping has been introduced on the instance as well.

RTR#23 Wrapping comments, hiding threads/posts, marking new comments in threads/posts, aggregate view (kbin.social)

Today, I managed to implement the points I described in RTR#19, and most of the changes are already visible. The remaining ones will be pushed on Monday. Before the release, I'll try to address three more things from the title, which I started working on earlier and are lingering on local branches. I don't want to make any...

I understand the issue, the changes in the federation /kbin that will occur in the coming weeks / months will make the magazines much more visible in the broader fediverse. This could be a complete gamechanger.

@ernest@kbin.social avatar

Oh, come on, I'm not that sensitive ;-) Constructive criticism helps me set goals, prioritize tasks on my board, and broaden my horizons when it comes to the overall experience with the platform. I really appreciate that. The fact is that Lemmy had a lot more time. I remember when they started federation tests, I was writing my first line of code. Some things just need time to mature. For me, it's not a race. I simply have a clear goal that I'm determined to achieve - to create a solid, accessible platform that others can benefit from and enjoy. Who knows, maybe it'll become the best in the entire fediverse someday ;-) Now, after the break, I'll be working on federation but also on customizing the feed to tailor it as much as possible to individual needs. Cheers!

@ernest@kbin.social avatar

The aggregate view is in preparation still.

RTR#22 Further improvements interspersed with code refactoring (kbin.social)

Today, I fixed some visual shortcomings. It is now possible to change images during post editing. The rules of the magazine have been included in the description on Fediverse to avoid misunderstandings with Lemmy users. Some changes are already on the instance, and the rest will be pushed by morning....

I will be working on and prototyping something in the coming months. The first step in the near future will be marking unread comments in some way.

It's for sure my favorite social network!

Great to hear ;-)

RTR#21 Sub channel filters, spoiler tag (kbin.social)

Today, I added the subscription channel filtering option, allowing users to individually select content from subscribed users, magazines, and domains. This feature will be further improved over time. In addition to the sidebar, this option can also be changed in the user settings, which have also been slightly redesigned....

Miło nam poinformować, że na nowo utworzonej stronie wsparcia największej światowej instancji /Kbin - czyli .social - znaleźliśmy się w doborowym towarzystwie wśród organizacji wspierających projekt 👍

Dziękujemy @ernest za docenienie pracy Piotra @piotrsikora i wsparcia naszej Fundacji 👏

Zapraszamy również Was do wspierania tego polskiego projektu w , który zdobył ogromne międzynarodowe uznanie:

@ftdl To ja dziękuję. Praca z Piotrem to czysta przyjemność. Poza zbudowaniem całej infrastruktury dla instancji, udostępnienia serwerów fundacyjnych dla części usług, odegrał również kluczową rolę w ostatnich pracach nad skalowaniem platformy. Teraz sprzęt może odetchnąć a ja mam trochę spokojniejszy sen ;-) Ale to również oznacza, że więcej ludzi może poznawać fediverse poprzez kbin.social a utrzymanie mniejszych instancji /kbin będzie znacznie tańsze. Z perspektywy czasu mogę śmiało powiedzieć, że jest to nasz wspólny sukces, a mam nadzieję że to dopiero początek ;-)

Ze swojej strony pozostaje mi tylko zachęcić do wsparcia FTdL, oprócz świetnych projektów to także świetni ludzie na odpowiednim miejscu

Hi @maegul, I just wanted to let you know. It's not perfect yet, but it's something I'll be working on in the coming months after the first release. Thanks for pointing it out, it's a relatively simple change, but it makes a significant difference in the overall experience.

@ContentConsumer9999 That is indeed the plan, but I want to do it properly on the new codebase.

RTR#20 Fix communication with the Threadiverse, new Support Us page (kbin.social)

Today, I fixed the communication with Lemmy instances that partially stopped working two days ago - it was related to content from internal magazines. I slightly changed the priority for tomorrow's update - first, spoiler support and the ability to filter the /sub feed by magazines, users, or domains separately will be...

ernest OP ,
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

Yes, it's one of the first things that I plan to address right after the release.

ernest OP ,
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

I will look into this. I will also gradually address federation issues. However, I'm not sure if the problem is on the kbin side. Currently, there are no performance issues; all queues are being cleared in real-time. Communication on my test instances with kbin.social takes a matter of seconds.

ernest OP ,
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

I'll look into what's going on, and I'll move it up higher on my priority list. Anyway, it's not a federation issue in general.

Fixed, thank you for pointing it out. During the night or in the morning, when there is less traffic, I will try to resend all unsuccessful requests.

This week, I will be setting up test environments for other platforms, so I will try to catch such issues more quickly.

ernest OP ,

Definitely, I plan to integrate spoilers with ActivityPub. For now, it's just a Markdown change compatible with Lemmy - there were many requests for it, and it was quite cumbersome. I will start working on federation after finish the refactoring. I want to do this on the new codebase - I'm getting closer, but initially, I'm fully focused on instance moderation, which will enable the operation of a global moderation team. Later, things with lower priority will be gradually implemented.

Dammit! I hate it that I cannot edit a thread picture anymore after creating a thread in kbin!
I just get an error and that's it.

One fail and I need to make a copy of the other thread with the correct image and delete the other thread...
Also, if it takes longer to create the thread and I re-click the create-button, here we go without the picture...

Actually, you tagged this post with in the creation form. The hashtag added this way appears in the sidebar under the tags section. You can also tag within the content of the article like in a regular microblog post. You can find your thread here https://kbin.social/tag/fediverse ;) Tags page and tag filtering are another thing I'll be working on - currently, sometimes it's quicker to use the search function.

Hi @maegul, actually you can track people you follow in the /sub feed at https://kbin.social/sub/microblog. It might seem a bit chaotic, with what looks like random posts, but in reality, each of them has a response from someone you follow (or an boost post/comment). But you're right, it's not perfect yet, and the presentation will be improved in the coming weeks/months to highlight specific comments from people you follow on front. I'll probably write about it in my devlog soon ;)

ernest ,
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

I will also separate this feed with the ability to track only users, excluding communities.

@ernest@kbin.social avatar

We're building this together, I just add a few extra lines of code to it all ;-)

It's only kbin.social where this happens, and it's only the threads page of this specific community. I can view the microblogs, the people, and even individual threads, but the threads...

Today, with the assistance of @piotrsikora, we've updated kbin.social. I also implemented a few fixes that should improve the site's performance. I'm still waiting for a few metrics, and then I'll try to enable the API (Piotr will probably want to strangle me when he finds out I want to do it over the weekend ;-))...

Artemis.camp Instance (kbin.social)

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this. So if it isn't I apologize. For several days the artemis.camp instance was online but not operating optimally, and showing no new posts. This morning trying to access the site gives the dreaded 'bad gateway' error. No information has been provided by the instance admin. So it...

In this case, it's hard not to be surprised, as the project could have seemed abandoned for a long time. Everyone's patience has its limits. Tomorrow, I will try to get in touch and, if possible, offer assistance in updating/maintaining the instance.

@btp@kbin.social avatar

Is it just me, or should the "boost" and "favorite" functions on kbin be swapped? I feel like the "up arrow" should be the "boost", and the "boost" link on a post, thread, or comment should be "favorite" instead.

ernest ,
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

@btp Actually that was my first shot, it seemed more intuitive to me. However, for many, it was confusing due to how it was implemented in Lemmy, and overall, it caused certain problems on a larger scale. That's why it has been changed.

It's been two weeks since I started writing the devlog and the return to coding. I'm okay with the results. I've managed to establish the routines that were much needed. Finally, I could start organizing the code, which will undoubtedly yield results in the future. Sometimes, you need to take a step back to gain the right pace...

ernest OP ,

So, the banner is something I've been thinking about for a while, but there was never enough time. Now, with more frequent updates, I'll take care of it because it may be necessary. As for the second account, I was thinking more along the lines of a status page, something like https://status.codeberg.org/ because for some, that's the only account on the fediverse.

kbin RTR#14 Code Refactoring, preparation for kbin.social update (kbin.social)

Today, I started preparations for a more extensive code refactoring. The changes won't be immediately visible, but they will significantly impact the future development of the project. This includes improving the functioning of federation, with a particular focus on collaborative remote content moderation. This will likely take...

/kbin logotype
ernest OP ,
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

Yes, definitely. It's an important aspect that has been bothering me for quite some time. However, I'd like to tackle it with a fresh codebase and proper tests, so I can't promise it will happen very quickly. I still have a few other things beyond coding that need urgent attention, and I wouldn't want to hastily introduce new features related to the fediverse until I can fully focus on it.
