Moving to: m/AskMbin!

I subscribed to a magazine that, in the last day, has changed over to an unreadable custom CSS that goes so far as to break site gizmos; no matter my theme choice, their custom CSS overrides my setting.

Is there a way to override their override?

What video game is an absolute 100/100 in your opinion?

#AskKbin

It's from a car battery maintainer. I've seen it on other things before so I figure it has to have a name. I'm trying to figure it out so I can make a setup that makes plugging my car battery in easier.

I'm using kbin on a desktop web browser. I have several magazines I have subscribed to. Is there a way to see clickable list of just my subscriptions? Right now to visit a subscription I am clicking "Magazines" in the top nav bar and then using the search function. This is awkward.

What search engine do you use? What terms might you use to filter out junk?

Over the past few years I've gotten into the habit of using Google and reddit for general information. When searching I append "reddit" to the terms and tend to get good results. Without appendjng I often don't get back anything relevant. It sort of works if I'm searching for a particular product or company by name but doesn't show me relevant reviews or guides. For something not by name it is just a ton of blog spam and useless articles.

Sometimes YouTube can have reviews but with the way content creation works I have reason to take positive reviews with a grain of salt most of the time. For review sites or reviews on stores I just assume 95% are not/paid.

I have had some success appending something for particular sites. Way more specific to a topic though like board game geek or stack overflow. I've tried "forum" but that doesn't seem to do much.

Edit:

People seem to mostly be suggesting things like DuckDuckGo. There is also a paid option that seems like it could be effective, Kagi.

Also this exists.

I think I saw this explained when I first created an account, but I can't find it now.

How is it possible to follow a group on a Lemmy instance and see the posts in my kbin timeline?

in what ways do you think kbin should strive to be different from Reddit?

Hello Kbin users, new user here. What are the dimensions to get a good banner image that doesn't stretch? Thank you.

Also, what are good archive.is type websites for websites on other dark web networks?

I already know that the archive.is for the Tor network is http://archiveiya74codqgiixo33q62qlrqtkgmcitqx5u2oeqnmn5bpcbiyd.onion/

I'm in the process of getting ready for a cross country move and trying to make moving and packing the least stressful I can. What advice would you give?

I heard a story from a youtuber about how years ago they had a bad reaction to some E-Liquid and then afterwards their health was never the same again. I was wondering if other people have similar stories, not necessarily about E-Liquids but also other things that seem to have changed your health forever.

Does anyone without kids ever wish they could attend "family oriented" things such as zoos, museums etc on days where kids are not allowed?

I know it sounds selfish, and I don't dislike people having kids or parents in general, but often on the weekend if I ever want to do these activities, I often feel like im fighting for space with children or families to view exhibits. I wish there were days, maybe once a month, where you could attend and no children under 14 were allowed or something. Maybe if its an income thing where the zoo/etc is free, there is an admission price that day.

Thoughts?

#AskKbin

I am not sure if this feature is available yet. Could someone help me figure out how to do it if it is possible?

Why so much porn stuff is populating on the timeline. Not keeping a check on this can backfire on the the growth of @kbin.social

#AskKbin

Also, for some reason profile pictures are being blurred instead of the post photo for +18 posts.

#AskKbin

Hmm are the devs aware of posts being marked +18 immediately after posting them even if the checkbox is unchecked

#AskKbin

?

I start from the bottom. You can line up the buttons without needing to look in a mirror. I don't understand why anyone would start buttoning from the top. It's just less efficient. Explain your reasoning

See title

Where can I donate to kbin.social?/Why not set up donation buttons on kbin (like Lemmy has)?

#AskKbin

Is there a way to change your username? The UI looks like it's technically possible but maybe disabled here.

Apologies if there was a better place to post this or if my search skills just failed to find the answer.

I would use this site a heck of a lot more if I actually saw when people replied to one of my "article" posts. But right now my notifications sit empty unless I tag a user or they tag me.

That's very frustrating. I find myself using Squabbles more often for chat just because at least their notifications are working correctly.

Has this issue been fixed and it's just a bug on my side, or do I need to enable something?
