Without proper CI/CD workflow jobs, errors are easily made without noticing it (or noticed too late). Especially when multiple developers are contributing towards your code base. Maybe your project is open-source?...
I ask because I've been doing a lot of research the last few weeks and Google search has really let me down. I've been finding better results on DuckDuckGo and Bing. Is this a recent thing with Google or am I out of the loop? Any other search recommendations?...

One of the main instances of Lemmy (lemmy.ml) is blocking 'kbinbot' user agent requests on their instance. Basically, they are blocking kbin instances. This is not a bug, but on purpose....
Kbin is actively in development. Almost each day Ernest will merge multiple PRs. I'll keep this instance as much as up-to-date as possible. So you will get the latest improvements and fixes as soon as possible.
Linux Mint is perfect! Avoid Ubuntu, which has a very shady history... Despite Mint being based on Ubuntu/Debian, it doesn't have any spying software. Like Ubuntu used to send all the search queries to Ubuntu when you were searching locally on your system for a file or an image.
I noticed yesterday there seemed to be fewer and fewer thumbnail images appearing on the front page, and today there seems to be almost none at all. The ones I have seen so far seem to be from posts on this instance only, but I can't confirm that with certainty yet....
I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...
They also do not sent POST / updates to my /f/inbox instance anymore. Lemmy.ml seems to activity ban Kbin instances. Which is very bad. I really hope this is not on purpose..
I have high hopes for the fediverse.. All fediverse software/servers is still in its infancy. But I believe the fediverse will have a very bright future...
If this happens, will it be a mass exodus to Linux/Mac? Or will people just live with it? The fact that the Steam Deck has shown great promise in playing games on Linux has made me reconsider Windows yet again.
Hi, new test instances are now available. The previous frontend changes were mostly cosmetic. But now I would like to take a closer look at a few bigger things, like this. However, maintaining compatibility with your styles is very important to me. I also invite you to discuss and review in pull requests :) Cheers!...
I notice just recently that Youtube is lowering the quality of the videos (bitrate), and I need to buy Youtube premium to upgrade the bitrate. Sure they claim they don't touch the bitrate for free users, but I can see the difference......
How do you view all subscribed magazines? On Lemmy you can go to Communities, and then choose subscribed, and it shows you a list of your subscribed communities. When I click on Magazines on top in kbin, it doesn't have a selection to let you pick subscribed only.
I'm assuming its here somewhere and I'm just being dumb because I can't find it.
So, if I'm following correctly, Lemmy currently is experiencing a massive wave of bot registrations, and now about 800 thousand new registered accounts across several different instances are bots. What is kbin doing to prevent that, other than just being somewhat smaller and not picking up as much attention?
I have a Mastadon, AND a Kbin now. I'm trying to sign up for different Federated services and link 'em all together. I'm loving this new protocol so much. It's quiet...
It feels similar to the early 2000's internet and I'm loving it.
The search form has been fixed (if you were experiencing this issue). This time, the Docker recreate may take a bit longer. Moving forward, when making changes, I will create pull requests like everyone else and ask for your review. Sorry for the inconvenience. Soon, the first tagged release will also be available. It's time to...
I just saw an email from Buy Me a Coffee. Not just one. I went in, and I'm truly shocked. Thank you all for the support; I would like to thank each and every one of you individually someday. Honestly, I don't know what to say. The account balance is $350, which will definitely allow me to develop kbin faster or at least not...
