Certified foxgirl enjoyer. Weeb, but hasn't properly watched anime in ages. Gamer of incresingly niche subgenres. Aficionado of racecars, mechas, fighter jets, and any other vehicles you can think of. Lives in the wrong side of the planet compared to all my friends.
Made accounts in 278 different instances in the Fediverse after escaping Reddit, is still kind of lost. Doesn't know how hashtags work.

    kbin Login bug fixed?

    I haven't used kbin much this past week, but over the last day or so I noticed I haven't seen the "login bug" happen anymore. I can leave a tab open and still come back later and upvote, boost or comment on posts without the page giving me an error and asking me to re-log in.
    So, I don't know what our guy ernest did, but let's give him some recognition and appreciation for actually fixing it! At least for me, it seems fixed. Anyone else noticed it?

  • It's been happening so much I think this is the first comment I try writing here in about a week. You say 20% but for me it's more like 80% chance of it happening, sometimes when the tab has been open for just a minute. I've been just using my Lemmy account much more, even if it lacks several features I like about kbin.

  • I also don't preorder, and I DO buy basically all FromSoft games on release because I know they'll be bangers. But I've been burned before with Dark Souls 3 suddenly increasing in price by 50% in my region right before launch. I'm torn. I guess I'll wait and see, again.

  • Who'da thunk a browser made around crypto shit would do such a thing. I only use this browser on my phone because of the ad blocking to open links people send me, I should just get something else. Does mobile Firefox get proper ad blocking?

  • Yeah, honestly the only thing I'd still check regularly on Reddit is NCD. Glad we're actually making an attempt to movehere.

  • I cannot state a "FUCK YOU" big enough to reading those quotes from these devs. Screw all of this always online DRM bullshit. This era of gaming is irrepareably impossible to preserve for the future.

  • Emulators or just straight up portable platforms like a Nintendo Switch, are the one grace for gaming on the go. I've given up on phone games too.

  • And then you go into certain areas in Dark Souls or Elden Ring, and you're actually supposed to go through that. Fun times in Anor Londo.

  • Yeah honestly I'd like for upvotes, boosts and saves to actually work in more conventional ways we're used to in other social media, instead of this weird "boost is actually an upvote but it's also a retweet" and "upvote does nothing but actually saves it to your profile"

  • Yeah it's going to be a process. For an example, the Gundam and Gunpla communities are relatively niche compared to other anime or model kit building (which are already niche things in of themselves) and while their subreddits are quite active, we still don't have that critical mass (or much mass at all) of posts and content to engage with here. I have been meaning to, and plan on, making more posts to those so they get more activity.

    You know what fucks me up? The fact that several different #Fediverse platforms can seemingly talk to each other seamlessly, even the ones that seemingly were not even meant to talk to each other. Stuff on #mastodon is visible here on #kbin. My account from a #Lemmy instance can see my other account on #CalcKey. There's several different "not-Twitter" services each with their own interfaces and instances, and they all chat with each other. I can feel my brain expanding as I learn all of this.

  • Yeah, good that you guys are making such lists. It took me a few days to truly understand the "threadiverse" but now, as in right now, I am stumped trying to understand how does everyone integrate with Mastodon (which I understand to be not-Twitter) and then what do all of the other platforms even do! What is Misskey and how is it different from Calckey or Akkoma or Friendica.... And how do they interact between each other. I am very confused but also very excited.

  • It COMPLETELY misrepresents things. Content was removed from the game, content that was added as stretch goals on their Kickstarter many years ago. Also content from the purchased separately artbook, and story mode sequences that were central to characterization. It's not about what they changed, it's about why.

  • Honestly, while I'm happily settled here in the "threadiverse" and all that, I've seen that the main subs I used to visit and have now reopened, are all working about the same as before the protests. They were all basically niches, so they weren't as badly affected by bot comments and the such. We will see, however, if their moderation can still keep up after the 1st tho.

  • It took me a couple days of reading and browsing around and creating accounts to figure out the fediverse and Lemmy and kbin. Until it actually clicked in my head that I was in one instance, seeing content posted in a community of another instance, commented on by users of even other instances, and how it worked between all that. I wanted to actually understand the mechanism, to better navigate it. Now, it all seems simple to me, but it was all very new for about a week. Also, the connection and federation errors that were happening a lot added to the confusion to a lot of people, I feel.

    I am now very excited about the potential of all this. Decentralized networks rock.

    Now, I think a random user could just show up and make an account and start enjoying it quickly, just would take some time to find the communities they want content from.

  • Yup, can confirm the same on PC Firefox. Ernest is probably working on it. He also probably needs help.

  • Gundam Battle Operation 2. Wanted to see if they fixed the matchmaking, and it's not as bad now.
    Chunky heavy robots is my jam but the netcode is terrible...

    So, if I'm following correctly, Lemmy currently is experiencing a massive wave of bot registrations, and now about 800 thousand new registered accounts across several different instances are bots. Wha

    So, if I'm following correctly, Lemmy currently is experiencing a massive wave of bot registrations, and now about 800 thousand new registered accounts across several different instances are bots. What is kbin doing to prevent that, other than just being somewhat smaller and not picking up as much attention?
