It always annoyed me how the ads were formatted to look like posts, always felt like they were trying to trick people into clicking on it (which honestly that probably is the intent). Feel the same way with ads on Twitter. It’s one thing to show ads and another to format them to try and trick users into clicking on them

Same lol, I was like “why is it going to have a small battery? That seems like an odd choice”

It’s strange, I’ve seen other instances that have upgraded to 0.18 that have no issues whereas some have issues. I’ve also seen some that aren’t federating even on earlier versions. lemmy.blahaj.zone upgraded to 0.18 but seems to still be federating just fine with Kbin, but lemmy.ml seems super broken with Kbin. Hopefully it gets resolved soon, I’ve run across several communities I want to follow but can’t due to federation being broken

Try this link: https://lemmy.world/c/catsubs@kbin.social
Someone else got it to start federating in lemmy.world

It needs to be manually searched first, if you search !catsubs@kbin.social it should come up, though another commenter said that lemmy.world is having some issues searching right now so that could be the reason

If you search: !catsubs@kbin.social on Lemmy it should show up as a community you can subscribe to in Lemmy. Someone on your instance needs to manually search it for it to start federating, not sure how it works with pinned comments though. Hopefully those will eventually show up even though they were posted before federation started. If not bringing it up on Kbin and copying the link works too.

I might need to create a Lemmy account just so I can learn more about how to use it, I’ve been using Kbin since last week and am really liking it so far

Yet more reasons why people should stop using LastPass… I finally switched to Bitwarden after getting tired of having to choose between using it on mobile or desktop. Got out before the hack. I’m going to work on transferring my data again to a self hosted Bitwarden

Read that as EPCOT at first and was really confused what a theme park in Florida had to do with the storms in Texas haha

Oh gosh right wing TikTok sounds like a nightmare.

Ugh, that’s so annoying. What’s the point of making great products if you’re eventually just going to shut them down?

I’ve heard other similar tools only grab the first 1000 comments/posts does this grab everything? Or does it have a similar limitation?

Yup! No worries! Glad you got it figured out!

On Kbin if the community you want isn’t showing in the magazine list, what you need to do is go to the search bar that searches the whole site and type in the Lemmy community name followed by an @ followed by the instance name. For example: firefox@lemmy.ml

After searching it should come up and you can subscribe to it. It only shows up in the magazines list once someone on the instance subscribes to it, so if you are the first to subscribe to it you have to do a manual search first

Seems like a strange move considering how well known the Blue brand is. Yeti isn’t too bad of a replacement, at least they aren’t changing it to Logitech

Being able to have one account/identity across the fediverse would be amazing.

No interest whatsoever. I don’t like Facebook (I refuse to call them meta) or any of it’s subsidiaries. Mastodon works great for my Twitter like needs.

I do hope that most instances block them though, for obvious privacy reasons but also because it would be hilarious as it would basically invalidate one of the major selling points of the ActivityPub protocol for them.

I’m going to miss reddit but I’m also excited because I really like the idea of the fediverse and I’m hoping this makes it take off even more. People need to start moving away from centralized social media IMHO, how many times do platforms need to get ruined before people realize centralized platforms run by megacorps always end the same?
