@bayaz It's you who gave me food for thought, alongside many other moderators! I only found out yesterday how to properly ban spam accs on kbin.social.

I really appreciate all efforts to grow and take care of communities, be it on kbin, on lemmy, or on mbin! Every day, I try to keep learning from other moderators.

Given the sheer lack of moderation tools, many mods do great work. I hope the situation will improve so that moderatoring will become easier.

@jayrhacker
Would you elaborate on this?

truly a long time issue! arrows work for the 2nd page only > same problem occurs in the microblogging section: arrows do not work

@spaduf mondragon is by far the biggest coop worldwide, and the company is not a classical coop, but rather resembles other big capitalist ventures

i thought that the iceshrimp devs had rewritten their mastodon api compatibility layer, and that iceshrimp works fine with masto clients ... it doesn't?

thank you! tags from kbin do federate on microblogging fedi - kbin users should use the the tags section rather than the text body though

1. i also had a look at friendica; sadly, friendica seems not to be capable to pick up tagged posts from kbin > see e.g. https://friendica.opensocial.space/search?tag=kbin > tried my luck at several friendica instances, and every time: no content from kbin

2. tags in kbin threads do not display on kbin pwa, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/kbinDevlog/t/692551 > on microblogging fedi platforms, i can see three tags: kbin, fediverse, and kbinDevlog for the magazine > with kbin pwa, neither kbin nor fediverse show up

@bogdugg

The solution, however, is not to reduce the number of instances, but rather to provide more tools for instances to group communities together.

kbin collections are grouping together communities, but unfortunately, collections themselves do not federate

ernest's approach is unique in many ways, and
the kbin community is highly responsive to new ideas
@ernest @DarkGamer

even weirder if it’s a Mastodon fork such as Glitch-soc, Hometown, Fedibird,… since they use older Mastodon versions as base

i myself have been active on calckey/firefish, hajkey and iceshrimp instances, and never had a problem interacting with people on mastodon forks > there had been some backfilling issues, but they got solved > but federation problems do exist: so far, it is not possible for *key users to interact with lemmy instances; also link posts from kbin do not show up on *key timelines

since you are on a lemmy instance: be aware that people on the *keys cannot interact with lemmy instances

it irks me when people try to assign musical genres to one community only, and this is certainly often happens when it comes to reggae and its musical offsprings > music is a universal language, so let's give credit!

one more example is garage music from uk: jason chue, himself one the most influential garage producers, is of chinese ancestry, too

chinese diaspora influence on the development of reggae music is indisputable > there are quite a few great articles on this, e.g.
https://spinditty.com/genres/Chinese-of-Jamaica-pioneers-of-reggae-music or
https://daily.bandcamp.com/lists/chinese-jamaican-influence-on-classic-reggae-list

i would like to add that the success of both dancehall and dubstep was driven by records labels run by chinese, too
