If I recall reading correctly, downvotes affect karma, but upvotes don't.

In case kbin introduces some kind of gamification rewarding system, isn't that counterintuitive, esoecially since both buttons are equally positioned?

I'm on my laptop (Connected to a 27' Monitor) and on the sidebar of kbin there was a straight up porn with the full thing showing!. I had to go to magazines and just block everything that started with that name. i don't see it anymore but how does this stuff come through the filters or what not?

Even if it's not expensive, Is there a high quality item every serious enthusiast owns?

Or maybe it's a highly prized holy grail item you'd give your right arm for.

Is there something you've had an eye on for a while and you're just waiting for an excuse to treat yourself?

As a Kbin user, whenever I click on a lemmy link it takes me to their website which would then not allow me to post or subscribe to the magazine/community/whatever. Is there a way to click on other instances' links and STAY in kbin so that I can interact with them?

Why can't I add a title to this post?

I've joined several immigration-related subreddits because of my own life-situation nonsense. With how unpredictable Reddit is behaving, I'm having doubts whether the future of such subreddits are bright for people who need legal help or need to flee war-zones or stuff like that...

As far as I can observe, I haven't seen many of those places (take the example of /r/IWantOut) migrate over to the fediverse yet.

So what are your thoughts/opinions on the future of those types of communities on Reddit?

Foreign memes? (kbin.social)

Hey, I just wanted to know if the general user base would be fine with OC content crossposted from Reddit. I have maybe 10 OC memes and I want to contribute to the Fediverse, but try not to annoy anyone, especially since these have my Reddit username as watermark.

So would you all be fine with this?

I want to migrate here as an active user, should I be worried about the bans from admins and mods? and are admins planning on working on the UI IF yes please open up the discussion for users to help in creating a community we can all be proud of!

I'm interested in the Most Mysterious Song on the internet for those who do not know I'll pull a page out of Wikipedia

"The song was reportedly recorded from a Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) broadcast sometime in the mid-1980s, likely during or after 1984.Since 2019, this song has been the subject of a viral Internet phenomenon, with many users of sites such as Reddit and Discord involved in a collaborative effort to search for the origins of the song. Through the search, other unknown songs were discovered. Users have coined the term "Lostwave" to describe songs of this nature.*

"A man named Darius S. recorded the song from a radio program that he listened to on the West German public radio station NDR. Darius recorded the song on a cassette tape, which also included songs from XTC and The Cure. It has been speculated that the song was recorded in 1984, since most of the songs on the cassette recording were also released around 1984. Further evidence that supports this as being the earliest possible airing date was the Technics tape deck that he most likely used to record the song, which was manufactured in 1984 as well.To get clean recordings of songs, Darius purposely removed dialogue from radio hosts, which is likely why the exact airplay date and the title are unknown.

In 1985, Darius created a playlist consisting of the unidentified songs in his personal collection; he eventually digitized it in 2004, saving the songs as .aiff and .m4a files. Then, Darius's older sister, Lydia H., gave Darius a website domain as a birthday present, which he used to raise awareness of his playlist.

On March 18, 2007, Lydia brought the search to the internet, in an attempt to identify the song. Going under the pseudonym "Anton Riedel", her search originally began on de.rec.musik.recherche, but she eventually migrated to websites with song identification tools, upon the request of user Andreas Eibach. Lydia posted a digital snippet of the song to best-of-80s.de, a German fansite devoted to eighties synth-pop and to spiritofradio.ca, a website dedicated to the Canadian radio station 102.1 The Edge, under the pseudonym "bluuue"

You can find out the rest on Wikipedia, Google and Youtube

It's very interesting and i would like to figure out on what's behind the Most Mysterious Song on the Internet

A long while back I was hanging out with one of my sisters and she said that she hears thunder in her head when she gets startled.

Me: "Scuse me. What?"
Her: "You know. That thunder you hear when someone startles you."
Me: "Again. What?"
Her: "You don't hear thunder when someone startles you?"
Me: "Uh, no."
Her: "Oh. I thought that happened to everybody."

Is this a thing? Does this happen to anybody else out there? She did struggle with depression for much of her life. Could that have had something to do with it?

What app do you use for /kbin browsing?

Currently using a webapp from the kbin.social website saved to my Home Screen on iOS. It works pretty great actually, but it’s got some quirks. Mainly, it’s not really tuned for the phone screen, not well enough at least. It also lacks niceties like easily previewing image and video posts, as well as saving them. Coming from Apollo, saving media to my phone in a specific folder is sorely missed.

Suggestions?

What is the meaning of so many posts referencing “Rule”? Like it will be a meme post but one of the words is replaced with the word “Rule”

My favourite Movie is the Titanic, Titanic is a great movie and i recommend for everyone to watch it if you guys haven't

Would be nice to be able to search within a magazine instead of just scrolling. IT's probably there already i'm just missing it.

I Know i can do site:kbin.social on google but that's not the point there should be some internal stuff that makes this site unique

How do u find what comment is a parent comment so I can track a conversation?

As most third-party solid there are guided lines. I don't know who is commenting on what.

e: I get it now after trial and error. The replies have lines next to them that are broken and they lead you to the parent comment or the next comment. Kinda sweet if you think about it

In the upcoming days, there will be an hour or two when I won’t be able to do anything at work because of technical events happening. This could last a month. I’d like to manage my time effectively but it could also be a chance to do non-related work. What do you do or will do to stay productive during those idle times at work?

Discovering features in kbin -- can't find "approve follow request".

I can't follow my account here from my Mastodon account, but I found that I can search for famous accounts like @Gargron but not my own on scholar.social doesn't show up in search. Is this the quirk with instances not supporting something? I remember seeing it but am not finding where the explanation on what to do is.

I'm leaning toward apple sauce. It's already something that's eaten on its own. In terms of a savory sauce, if dressings count—I think they do—then greek dressing would be my answer. Dressings in general tend to be more drinkable than typical condiments. Anyways, what's your opinion?

Hi I noticed this behaviour today on my kbin/sub view where posts started to appear from magazines I am not subscribed to. Is there a setting I am missing or is this a known issue?
