Team Mastodon over here. Best part is I don't have to explain why a federated social media is the way to go on Kbin.

Maybe I'm naive but I don't like broad defederation from a platform. That's what will ruin the dedicerse when the money and large companies creep in. Imagine Sony vs Microsoft video game wars with exclusives. It's a system designed for decentralized enjoyment of all. Banning/blocking instances from other instances by default is problematic to the health of the basic idea of federation.

Leave the decision in the user's hands, IMO.

Ah. I see what you're talking about. Yeah I don't have a way to do that. It'll be nice when that functionality is built out.

What I was referring to is when you click "Choose File..." you can paste an image URL in that and it will work as if you selected a file from your computer.

That's fair, though kbin is built to be comparable to reddit and with the way the feed sort algorithms work, surely having more upvotes improves the visibility, so why not?

Or even better yet, make it an option that you can turn on or off per user.

You can paste an image URL in the file upload and it will save the image to kbin and post that. Not the same thing you're looking for but it's a workaround.

You can click on upload and then paste the URL of the image in. It will basically save the image to kbin and use that as the post.

Yeah I think I agree even though I like it. Joey for Reddit did this and I liked it. Increased the unique posts I saw. Should be an app/feed option rather than a default.

There's not a period at the end. That's outside of the inline markdown to end my sentence.

Also yes there is. That's my community on Lemmy as @herpderpedia. Although the owner isn't right when I go to it on Kbin.

I'm pretty new to this, myself. So do I just go, for example, !240sx ?

EDIT: Apparently not. It doesn't seem to be linking to the local magazine. I tried to use [!240sx@kbin.social](/c/240sx@kbin.social).
