I hate that posting into the void feeling. I blame that more on the microblog format more than any particular platform.

Many years ago I posted a true story on r/nosleep or r/letsnotmeet (forget which) bc I didn’t realize most of those stories are fake. It was frustrating to realize my weird situation that I wanted other people to know about and empathize with me about (bc the cops did nothing) was largely ignored.

@CarlsIII Is there a way to set defaults at all? I always want subscribed + newest

Networked, autonomous local communities.

I noticed posting from lemmy.world is really buggy. I started composing in another app as a failsafe. Kbin doesn’t seem to have this issue, and maybe other Lemmy instances don’t either.

I saw a post that automatically grabbed a NSFW furry thumbnail pic from somewhere but it wasn’t in the linked article, nor did it show up on Lemmy.

@lom I asked this question a few days ago in @kbinmeta . I think it’s to do with how upvotes (don’t) federate or how many comments are posted/ federate to an instance’s copy of a post.

It would be nice if Kbin had a “local” sort option like Lemmy does.

Edit: The option does exist, but it’s in a completely different spot: https://kbin.social/m/kbin/t/79735/How-often-do-you-turn-federation-off#comments

Kebin is too similar to Kbin. Kibby or Bink is different enough.

I’m weary of people who make this mistake.
