TheArstaInventor@kbin.socialto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Updates on Interstellar kbin app: account login, voting, subscriptions, and more
4·2 years agoThat is good indeed, artemis wasn’t open source and the whole project’s progress and work as a result was lost, glad to know a more open approach is being taken here!

Moving to: m/AskMbin!@kbin.social•What communities do you miss from Reddit that wish existed here?
2·2 years agoTrue, but I was still curious about what communities get mentioned here. And also, without communities catering to different users’ interests, there will be no engagement.

4·2 years agoBTW I highly suggest you make a launch announcement on places like m/KbinMeta here with github downloads linked to get more users’ attention
EDIT: I think you made a concept post here a while ago?

7·2 years agoThis is awesome! Keep up the great work and I hope the project doesn’t get abandoned like Artemis, seems great so far, maybe you should look into creating a discord too for short-form discussions revolving around the project :)

Moving to: m/AskMbin!@kbin.social•Why is kbin so full of empty stuff?
1·2 years agoNo worries! It was a misunderstanding and that happens :)
And I agree with you as for the empty feeling, but with organic growth and encourging more people to contribute, hopefully content increases in kbin.

3·2 years agoWell I really didn’t look at your profile much so I am sorry if you feel personally attacked, that was not my intention.
My point is, if we all posted rather than saying “it feels empty” (not saying it just for you, saying for everyone in general here), then it would not feel so empty, as I mod some big communities here and I know for the fact that there are MANY lurkers who barely contribute, which is why it feels empty, but it’s good to see you being active.
If it feels empty, then we need to take action and be the change we want to see. That is what I mean’t and not targeting any individuals here, just saying in general.
No need to involve jesus christ, chill out :)

Moving to: m/AskMbin!@kbin.social•Why is kbin so full of empty stuff?
2·2 years agoThe main problem is actually with users like you and I mean no offense here, people subscribe which is a great start but they fail to post or contribute in ways that can help content and start a discussion.
This post drew attention and people have commented below, but if you didn’t post this, the community’s last post would have been 2 days ago.
My point is be the change you want to see, if we want Kbin to succeed, yall gotta start posting, not just looking around.
TheArstaInventor@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•To all moderators: Here is how you can add banner using CSS very easily to your Kbin magazines!
1·2 years agoThat looks awesome, great to see yall making it even better. Can you guys post the full CSS code with the changes here? I’d love to try it myself and an be easier for others who are re-visiting or just visiting this thread in the future as well. Thanks!
TheArstaInventor@kbin.socialtoFediverse@kbin.social•How do we feel about Flipboard federating?
3·2 years agoYeah it might be an added “Bonus” for people in the long-term besides threads, I think Kbin is certainly starting to cater to the audience that are mainly here for threads but it’s also “nice” to have microblogging to keep in touch with both.
TheArstaInventor@kbin.socialtoFediverse@kbin.social•How do we feel about Flipboard federating?
3·2 years agoSorry I did not mean it does not “matter at all”, but I certainly think this is going to be a minority. Although this will be great for Mastodon users, Kbin’s userbase is already small, young, growing but small, and the portion of users using microblogging of that is low.
TheArstaInventor@kbin.socialtoFediverse@kbin.social•How do we feel about Flipboard federating?
2·2 years agoI don’t think these things matter man, unless they create a community on the threadiverse, most of us on kbin use threads, microbloggig is the minority and full-on microblogging people simply use mastodon.

Moving to: m/AskMbin!@kbin.social•How much do you use Kbin for microblogging?
4·2 years agoPretty much only threads as someone who has come from Reddit, I’ve avoided microblogging, never used Twitter before, hence I don’t at all.
TheArstaInventor@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Why is some Lemmy instances like Lemmy.world don't seem to be federating with Kbin?
2·2 years agoSee edit :)
And regarding your edit, yes, that seems to be the reason, but that is months ago at this point, and they should certainly revert it back, made a post there (linked in above post now through edits) and here (this thread), hope this can bring their attention and reinstate full connection back between both kbin.social and lemmy.world.
TheArstaInventor@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•To all moderators: Here is how you can add banner using CSS very easily to your Kbin magazines!
1·2 years agoYes, I mentioned in the above post with a “demo” man, please do read the post :)

2·2 years agoIve also figured that increasing height value works, if you want to fit a bigger banner.

2·2 years agocheck m/cars! Works now!
TheArstaInventor@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Feature Requests/feedback from a Kbin magazines' moderator.
1·2 years agoAlthough is it possible to make it bit bigger to fit more of the car? As you can see the lambo in the center is kinda cut off.
TheArstaInventor@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Feature Requests/feedback from a Kbin magazines' moderator.
1·2 years agoYup so I can see the banner on your magazine! And nope, CSS is not disabled in my settings, ill try using your CSS.

1·2 years agoCan’t appreciate you enough, thank you again.
I can see it
The linked imgur says 404 and doesn’t work.
Here’s a list of better units to use if you want it to look the same on all screens.
Honestly, I pretty much suck at CSS and I honestly don’t understand how i’d use it, but what I can tell you is that I am using a 2017 iMac, so you should be able to tell the screen size based on that. I am also using Firefox on MacOS.
not sure if you can view this since it’s blocked in some countries, but here’s a catbox upload.
OMG Wow, it looks so damn good! I wish it worked for me!
right, I just noticed that, because I’m mixing percentages and absolute units here, the image actually moves around as I change the screen size. I’ll refine the example with more reliability later today.
No worries or hurries, take your time on this and let me know :)



I understand what you mean as for privacy, but at the same time, I do think at some point to reach the average user, it will be a must to be on Play store and Apple store. That being said, in early phase APKs are perfectly fine for tech-savvy users.
