You can see who upvoted and downvoted your comments in the activity tab of the “more” button.
You can block a domain like you can block a user. Either through the url::
Http://kbin.social//d/nypost.com
Or by clicking the domain name and then click the block button.
Is there a way to save threads or save comments within kbin?
For posts you can just upvote them and it will show up on your profile.
Interesting. Good to know!
If it’s not already in the works, I could see a lot of utility from adding a “favorited” or “saved” threads/comment option for users to better organize and access the content they want to as opposed to having to sift through what could end up being thousands upon thousands of upvotes.
Yeah…I upvote a lot of things, but save really useful stuff … definitely need a save feature
I generally upvote any post as long as it’s relevant. I also upvote comment chains I find amusing. Makes me feel part of the moment.
Some Lemmy instances have the ability to Save. Would definitely like to have that!
@PabloDiscobar I was a $5.99 subscriber to Reddit until this weekend. I find $5/mo a fair price to pay to keep it going. I also enjoyed awarding folks the fake gold - I know it is worthless really but I have fun dropping a love bomb on someone who was really funny or helpful.
How do you subscribe to magazines?
Same way as on Reddit. By clicking the subscribe button in the sidebar.
Or at the bottom of the page if you’re on mobile.
Followup, how do I see the sidebar on mobile?
Scroll to the bottom of the page.
You can also use the “hamburger” button to the left of the kbin logo when viewing a thread to access all the subscription options.
Yeah the mobile interface needs a little work
Anyway to collapse comment tree’s?
What’s the policy concerning alternate/throwaway accounts?
Looool…
Welcome back to the internet of the turn of the millennium.
Policy? There almost certainly isn’t one. This is the internet that isn’t controlled by a corporation so I’d assume that it’s the same as the old internet from before that happened.
Nobody is likely to be giving a shit here, just like none of us gave a shit before
Basic rules would likely be, don’t be a POS and you’ll be fine, just like it always was. Nobody’s going to care about your alts if they’re not being total cunts to everyone.
And yes, this means that I clearly don’t know the answer to your question in absolute terms, and yet I’m answering anyway (I know right, fuck me), but having looked around here, I’m seeing a place that’s run by normal people, just like the internet was always run before everything got silo’d into vast corporate web platforms. I’m pretty confident that it works the same way.
If so, the policy would be, “do whatever you want, but don’t be a shit”.
So what is “boost” going to do on a post, if I use that?
I believe that’s basically synonymous with a “retweet”
Or at least that’s what I could find
So it puts it on my personal profile, and if people were following me personally they’d see it.
Wth is this microblog I’m seeing under threads?
It’s essentially (in simplified terms) a Mastodon client.
There’s really no reddit equivalent, but if you pretend reddit and twitter had the same web interface, you’d get close to that “Threads” and “Microblog” are.I understand the concept, but not the purpose. Why would I post something to a microblog when I can post a thread? Or I guess if I was more twitter-savvy, why would I create a thread when I can post something to a microblog?
Maybe you wouldn’t. But this being the fediverse I can follow all the communities/magazines from other services, like Mastodon, Pixelfeed or Peertube (fediverse equivalents for Twitter, Instagram and Youtube). I can post to these communities/magazines from those apps as well. Those posts will end up as Microblogs.
Is there any equivalent of the Reddit Enhancement Suite being developed? I’d love to support their work
