Hey there, fellow travellers!

I am thrilled to welcome each and every one of you to our small community. This “Introductions” thread is the perfect place to break the ice, share a bit about yourself, and get to know your fellow community members.

To kick things off, I’ll start by introducing myself:

Name: kglitch
Location: New Zealand
Interests: computer things - linux, programming, webdev. Nature, Photography, Travel, History.
Favorite thing about this community: Being able to knock some of the rough edges of stock kbin

Now it’s your turn! Don’t be shy—feel free to share as much or as little about yourself as you’re comfortable with. Here are a few ideas to get you started, but feel free to deviate from them if you’d like:

Name or Username: [Your preferred name or online handle]
Location: [Where you're from, or the place you currently call home]
Interests: [Tell us about your hobbies, activities, or any unique talents]
What brings you to this instance?
Anything else you'd like to share:

If you’re not comfortable sharing personal information, that’s perfectly fine. You can still participate by engaging with others, asking questions, or simply offering a warm welcome to newcomers. The goal is to build a strong and supportive community where everyone feels valued.

So, without further ado, let the introductions begin! I can’t wait to get to know each and every one of you and see this thread come alive with our diverse and fascinating community.

Welcome aboard, and enjoy your time here!

Best regards,

KGlitch admin

    Thanks for the detail! I’m not familiar with Symphony, so looks like I’d have to dig in there a bit to figure it out. I’m an old PHP hand too (altho very rusty as I’m mostly on the backend now), and I’m 90% you can do it with a standard MySQL/PHP stack in theory.

    I love the fact that kglitch can post across instances as you’ve detailed - the power and potency of the software has the potential to become a Fediverse flagship. My goal is to expand the capability so that you could also choose which instances not to publish to and would be defederated from reading your content by limiting the results of the API feed available to the instance, based on domain name.

    The main reason that I wanted to explore this avenue is because personally, when I write certain pieces, I don’t want them appearing on Meta / Threads. I think that folks with toxic family who have Facebook accounts will sympathize, particularly those of the LGBTQ+ community.

    If outgoing defederation can be set per Thread, this gives the user greater confidence that their piece is only being promoted to the audience they intend.
