That's a feature, not a bug. If you find a worthwhile discussion, and have something to bring to it, just do it. No need to marry yourself to just the one instance. That's the beauty of federation, really.
No. When I see a post called “we are shutting down” I want to know what instance that post is talking about. It should definitely show the full federated magazine address
I mean, there'll always be way to see that. It's just not obvious at first glance. But even on Kbin, the URL of the thread you're in will have the instance after the @ sign.
My point is that we don't need to make this a dick-measuring contest between instances. If the fediverse grows and gets better, we all win.
I agree with this. Context is important and it should be clear.
Not gonna lie, I've just had a look at the feed just now and it's becoming noisy. It would be nice to not have to sift through so much chaff to find wheat.
I know there's strong feelings about curated feeds around here but it should be up to the user to decide what they see for the most part. At least, they should be able to decide what they don't see.
Isn't that the nature of social networks, though xD
You can always turn off federation by going into your Kbin sidebar and clicking on the little triangle icon, next to the settings.
Or you can go to https://kbin.social/sub, to view the equivalent of your Reddit home page (i.e. with the communities you're subscribed to). https://kbin.social/ is more like r/all, where you'll see stuff from your subscriptions, plus other random stuff.
Or just block mags/bins/communities you don't care about. Just got rid of one today and now I won't see it on my all feed again.
