There are circumstances where the precautionary principle is good to apply. But overuse of it has really bad cumulative consequences.

Not a stupid question at all - the way you do it isn’t intuitive, and I hope gets made easier with further software developments. In the search bar near your username at the upper right enter, communityname@instancename, for ex. newcommunities@lemmy.world, and if it’s working right the version of the community that’s synced to kbin will show up. Catch is that right now it randomly seems to glitch, and fail or return nothing, so if doesn’t work at first you’ll just have to try again later. I’m sure the people running the site are aware of the issue and trying to get it sorted out, for now it’s one of the things to put up with a platform that basically started last month.

You could even do an image with a QR code to the kbin or lemmy address.

I think I’ve experienced this a few times that I can recall.

I’d try a rhubarb sauce drink. For savory - aged balsamic vinegar.

Click the plus icon to the left of your username at the top right corner of the screen . Last option on the drop-down menu is “create new magazine”.

I’ve seen the fedi search link before, it’s a great idea. That said, it’s currently no good for finding things on kbin - for example, try searching AskKbin, which has been quite active - you get almost nothing back. Hopefully it will be better in a few days.

Awesome. Though I notice very little shows up from kbin.social; content I know is there is missing when I search for it. That may have more to do with the recency of the site growth or the cloudflare protection that was up a few days ago.

For example, here is one I just made that gathers general music communities across instances: music groups

Good on you! Hope that a lot more people on kbin take this approach.

I like the idea of this community, and subscribed, but fyi that link doesn’t work for me on kbin. This is the right link on here, I believe: https://kbin.social/m/auai@programming.dev - m rather than c.

That would be a pity -personally I think downvotes, for all they can be abused, are a necessary counterpart to upvotes if you’re going to have a voting system at all. “All attention is good attention” doesn’t work well in real life or online.

Now if a change was made to allow individual magazines to choose upvotes+downvotes, only upvotes or none at all, I think there’s a better case for that - let people try different systems for different circumstances,

Short sighted behavior is hardly limited to capitalist enterprises, though.

Enabling the Top Bar in the kbin UI settings makes the site much easier to navigate for me. I also prefer the compact view option.

How is Stable Diffusion connected to bad/short term orientated social media company policy changes? The ChatGPT connection I understand, even if I don’t think it’s the root cause. (Interest rate increases I think are more fundamental, even if AI is cited by companies as an influence on their choices.)
