So we can stand around at the bar for twenty minutes being overlooked whilst gasping for a drink? No thanks.

I did some further testing of federation issues, and have discovered that Kbin (at least Fedia) magazine articles don't federate to remote instances unless they are interacted with on the host instance.

YSK: If you own a magazine on Kbin, make a point of interacting with everything (just an upvote is fine) to ensure it gets pushed out and seen, at least until this is fixed.

(that includes this article, can't see it from Lemmy until it gets interacted with on kbin.social!)

A stupidly cheap (£2?) fleece I bought off a sale rail on a whim, thinking I would never wear it.

I practically lived in that thing, and still use it today.

Artifact is an interesting app that learns from your viewing history.

Oooh....

It’s made by the creators of Instagram

Ah, maybe not then.

A comic tragedy for anyone flailing in the sea of their own inadequacy. Sony Radio Award winners Geoff Lloyd and Annabel Port steer a life-raft through the choppy waters of being a functional human.

I think that would be annoying!

I find it useful. I follow my Kbin account from Mastodon, anything I boost I then see there - and can boost it to Mastodon easily.

If people followed my Kbin account and I used it as my main for everything, then boost would be useful without the double boosting.

I think the key is "not much margin" - they just aren't making enough profit and presumably don't want to put the price up.

Legendary game developer - and game development tease - Peter Molyneux has discussed his next project, and talked up it…

😂 The signs make no sense either - one-way left turn only, temporary sign which says no left turn!

To prove you're not a robot, click on all the pictures of robots.

"Bot account" identifies the account as being controlled by robots.
"Show bot accounts" says that you want to see those accounts run by robots.

Companies can host Mastodon (or Lemmy or whatever) on their own domain. That way they have control over the instance and it implicitly verifies their account as official. Raspberry Pi already do this (raspberrypi.social).

My Instagram account won't let me follow anybody for some reason (cites protection of users or somesuch). I never use it anyway. I've requested a data download and will delete it imminently, as it is completely useless to me.
May as well avoid them accidentally creating me a Threads account I don't want.

You can interact on both platforms using one account, but the best experience is to have an account on each - Lemmy communities don't work very well on Mastodon, and Mastodon users can't be followed from Lemmy. Kbin is the middle ground which can do both.

I created a new community/magazine for British/UK comedy discussion - sitcoms, stand-ups, etc.

One of the below should work, I've found that pasting the URL into search works best for Lemmy:
