Sort of off topic but I wish I had a kotatsu in my apartment. And an apartment big enough to have space for a kotatsu.

I tried a lot, but Toot! is the best of the bunch.

Artemis is supposed to support kbin and Lemmy. If it doesn’t support Lemmy right away, then it wouldn’t help to register on a Lemmy instance, because Artemis still wouldn’t support Lemmy.

You’re right that you can’t sign into a Lemmy instance with your kbin credentials. Each site is it’s own site. If something is posted on lemmy.world, it sends a notice to kbin.social and kbin.social fetches the info and publishes it locally on kbin as well. Comments on the kbin post are sent back to lemmy.world. There’s basically a copy of the post and comments on every server. Not every server will “know” about every other server though, so content could push across the entire federated network slowly sometimes.

Yeah? I kind of figure that’s how it’d be for me. I like the idea of how the Apple Watch integrates with iPhone, but I don’t like the way it looks.

I’m glad you think so. Please see the attached screenshot for an example of what I’m talking about. I’d like to have the text one size bigger so I can read it more easily, but then whole words are cut off or missing.

What I want is a watch that looks just like old fashioned analog watches, does all of the fitness tracking you get from a modern Fitbit, and transmits it to my phone. I don’t want a square watch or a digital display. I want classic beauty with tech under the hood.

What if they actually just want responses from people on Lemmy, though?

Lemmy devs aren’t great people anyway, in terms of who you want to be developing software. Anyone that would think hardcoding word censorship into their software because it’s theirs has a few screws loose, so I wouldn’t put it past them to have done this intentionally.

I do wish kbin looked a bit better on mobile, though. I have larger font on my iPhone and instead of wrapping, the text just goes off the screen and can’t be viewed.

The amount of traffic they drive to the news sites is payment enough.

I work for the military. The only part of that community that regularly gets made fun of and shit on are the transformers. No one cares who’s packing who’s butt or tickling who’s bush. But dicks out in the female latrine is offensive.

The software is open source. No one owns it.

Different instances are run by different people of varying political backgrounds.

Mastodon leans left mostly. Pleroma leans right mostly. Lemmy leans left and even has or had hard coded censorship baked into their software. Misskey is Japanese language mostly, or populated by weebs of all flavors.

Your experience will definitely depend on who’s running the server but the overall integrated platform can’t be shut down by any one person or group. You can always change servers or platforms and reconnect with people.

Death

This would have been better if they had created a Federated platform so we could subscribe to it from here. I’m tired of using a dozen apps to do basically the same thing.

I found this because I have the same concern. I should be positive 35, not -7. The reputation system as currently implemented doesn’t produce a reasonable result. I look like a troll to anyone who sees my profile.

What’s a tankie?

I started using RSS again when I realized that I was done with Twitter. Inoreader has been pretty useful for me. I like that it syncs to my iPhone.

Other instances can see you too. And other Fediverse based platforms. This thread is trending on kbin.social for example, which is where I’m posting from.
