Interstellar app will not work on kbin.social, because this server has not opened its API yet. For the app you have to use either a Mbin instance or (for vanilla /kbin experience) kbin.earth

kbin.social federates with Threads

ASCII byte is 7 bits. 8 bits is an octet.

1 floppy = 1.44 MO
1 CD = 700 MO
1 DVD = 4,7 GO
1 HD DVD = 15 GO
1 Blu-Ray = 25 GO

And the only region for whom the explore tab is working is America as nothing is localized.

Explore tab is sorted by language, not by region, so it works too for any sufficiently large foreign language country (Spain/Latin America, Portugal/Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Czechia, Russia, China, South Korea, Japan).

I wish Mastodon implemented Akkoma-style bubbles of related instances, which would allow to create, like, Explore tab but only from (manually selected) several Australian instances.

Does it look better on /kbin?

Vivaldi web browser opening their Mastodon instance brought me to the Fediverse. I started from Mastodon, but became curious of other fedi softwares - /kbin is one of them. I am on kbin.social as my Threadiverse instance in English since April '23, before Reddit API affair.

Lemmy.world removed Piracy as a external community. Again

Lemm.ee is already like that

Funny, but I am not going anywhere. I like /kbin and am confident in Ernest, his work and vision

With biased by design I have meant something like Conservapedia, RationalWiki, etc… They do not try to make neutral point of view, as is (or at least should be) applied on Wikipedia.

You could peek at two opposing views on the same article, for example.

Post-truth as a service.

Wikipedia is not a Big Tech nor a commercial enterprise prone to enshittification nor it profits from surveillance capitalism. We don’t need another, competing, universal source of enclopedical information. Wikipedia, on contrary to X, Reddit, Facebook, etc. is not going anywhere. Any self-styled Wikipedia alternative ended up dead, thematic, or biased by design.

However there are many thematical and fan wikis hosted on Fandom, which itself is a commercial company and there were already some contoversies concerning it. Wikis on Fandom are very resource-intensive compared to Wikipedia or independent thematical wikis.

Ability to edit at several wikis from the same account without being tied to Fandom could be one of things that Ibis offers and could benefit independent wiki sites.

And of course, MediaWiki is free software and federation could be added as a functionality.

Now available as a table!

Its federation. Even to that point, than I can reply to you when not using Lemmy at all. I am writing this from /kbin.

You probably want to use a regional instance to have more relevant users, groups and events, but there is a global search engine for Mobilizon

For example, I am using a Polish instance, with an unsuprising domain https://mobilizon.pl

With an account, you are able to publish events, with header image, title, category, tags, date, place, description (with formatting available), and metadata. The event can be accesible publicly, or only via link.
The event (if public) can federate (and be boosted to e.g. Mastodon) and be commented, but you are able to turn off the comments.

Individual account can only be followed from Friendica, but not from Mastodon.

For more features you want to create a group. A group can be followed from Friendica and Mastodon, but only Mobilizon accounts can become its members. Group members are able to participate in discussions (not visible from outside), manage a “common resource folder” - links, make group events and group announcements

You can experiment with Mobilizon features with a demo instance

There is already a Meetup alternative - Mobilizon

Friendica provides blogging, microblogging, pictures, friend circles (but they work only for Friendica users), and multiple identities managed by single login.

And there is a fediverse marketplace software - Flohmarkt - instances

Lemmy joins /kbin and mbin, which already were able to interact with Guppe groups

/kbin is already on Codeberg.org and all issues are posted there
