I've submitted the second to last #kbin #API PR for review! This PR adds thread and thread comment retrieval, creation, deletion, editing, voting, reporting, and moderation functionality to the API! The last PR will be very similar to this one, except for microblogs!
Didn't you have the API 'complete' like 2 months ago?
Yes, but it did not have any tests written to verify that it worked. These PRs have been resolving that issue so that there can be at least some guarantees that the API works when it gets onto kbin.social and others
(Also, please remember to buy @ernest a coffee if you are able, he's been burning the candle at both ends to support kbin.social and deal with personal business)

At least one mistake in there though, since you can definitely block instances in Kbin too. It's not the most obvious though.
Also:
- kbin does have an instance wide moderation log in the footer: https://kbin.social/modlog
- kbin supports markdown, though it does not have a preview feature yet
- kbin allows you to block users just like you can block magazines and domains, though there is no way to filter specific words (yet)
- (probably a few more, but those were the ones that I noticed)
A single health check call a minute by a single app is nothing compared to real world usage
Yeah, it definitely is not a drop in for Lemmy's API, so if Sync were to support my API for kbin it would be an additional layer for them to add.
kbin's API is coming soon! I've finished up all of the endpoints required for a useful API, so it will enter review soon! The PR is (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/357)

This will allow apps like @artemisapp to interact more effectively with kbin!
I've been working on the API, and it is pretty much feature complete (barring feedback) and should be entering review very soon.
Fedia is just another kbin instance, not really a fork. It is tracking the development branch a bit closer than kbin.social, but it's still the same repo
Lemmy stores who upvoted what but does not make it easily available to everyone like kbin does - you can set up a Lemmy instance to grab upvoted and read them from the DB if you are so inclined, or you could just look at kbin to see the same info
Love it! Kbinaut Kibby is adorable =)
The API is on its way though, I've only got a few more endpoints and permissions to add before it will be ready for testing
Looking in ImageRepository.php it doesn't appear that images have their extra data stripped. Also testing it on my dev instance showed that GPS data remained in the image. Should be an easy fix since all image uploads are processed through that repository.
Edit: In fact there's already an issue open for it - https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/374
Announcing OpenLemmyStats.org: Publicly Queryable Vote History + Other Hidden Data for Any Lemmy User!
kbin users:
Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power

YouTube Revanced is a replacement for the Vanced app that is less likely to get taken down since it doesn't distribute YouTube assets
Only on kbin, on lemmy that doesn't exist (yet)
kbin has the ability to see activity including upvotes, boosts, and downvotes from the UI for entries, comments, and microblogs
I believe those would be posts from kbin users on those Lemmy communities, I noticed the same when I turn of federation
Language filtering is in progress right now, hopefully it can make it soon to help alleviate those pain points - most of my blocklist is due to posts being in languages I don't speak as well
Since 'kbinaut' is a fairly frequently suggested name for people on kbin, a suggestion I have for a bit of extra fun would be to add an astronaut helmet (kbirdnaut?)
Also right birb best birb, but both are very cute
Actually they're still active - if you view from lemmy.world they last posted 3 hours ago, but if you view from your instance their last post was 9 days ago
Apollo is getting a spiritual successor for kbin in the form of https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp, so you may not have to remember all the formatting rules for long
A feature we'll definitely want to have with kbin in the future is the ability to migrate accounts to other instances. That would mean that even though we're centralizing on kbin.social right now, people could move to other instances and spread the load across the fediverse without losing their history
