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.

That 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!

True, 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.

I typically don’t encounter any communities from instances like lemmygrad here, maybe I will if I actually search for them but as it is on Kbin it’s been pretty nice here.

Oh you mean’t outside Kbin, makes more sense.

Certainly nowhere near the scale of/from reddit.

BTW 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?

This 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 :)

No 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.

Well 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 :)

The 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.

That 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!

Yeah 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.

Sorry 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.

I 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.

The question is not if they did or did not think, but if what they thinked was backed by historical facts at the time.

Pretty much only threads as someone who has come from Reddit, I’ve avoided microblogging, never used Twitter before, hence I don’t at all.

I disagree with this completely, from my time there, Ive met really cool people there, and you will always find assholes and nice people on these platfroms, doesn’t matter if it’s Kbin, Lemmy or Reddit (no stranger here), and Lemmy.world is like the biggest instance on he fedsiverse with the most users at the moment, with kbin.social probably the next biggest, it will be a huge loss for both the sides if we don’t get this federation or whatever issue this is fixed.

See 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.

Ive also figured that increasing height value works, if you want to fit a bigger banner.
