I am pretty sure some people think that it is a community name
I did, yes. This morning I realized it’s a person from this thread.
I was guilty of that for a hot minute before getting used to the UI.
Multitasking is the name of the game 😎 (i have untreated ADHD please send help)
Too bad Kbin didn’t last, so your postcount isn’t quite accurate.
I’m OOTL, what happened to Kbin?
This is one of the crazy parts of the Fediverse that I don’t understand yet.
I am aware of Kbin and was under the impression that it was very popular. I haven’t been there but how would I know when an instance disappears or where would I be able to find out where it’s been picked up later on?
The email analogy kinda works here.
- Imagine an email server dies forever. All of the email that it sent is still out there. If you are on another server, any emaills to/from people on that server are stil in your local email storage.
- Likewise, a post that was made to kbin.social is still out there, if someone outside of that server was subscribed to that kbin.social community (“magazine”) when the post was made.
- To find out the “new” server… well in an ideal world the old server would at least have a notice to that effect. But this case involved a medical emergency, so that didn’t happen.
Click here for an additional detail which may be amusing
- See: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] This is the copy of the kbin.social community “13th floor” that was made on lemmy.world to show people on lemmy.world.
- Now look at: https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected] This is the copy of the same community, but made for the lemm.ee instance. You’ll note that it is missing a post that was made on July 6th. That’s because the July 6th post was made by a user on lemmy.world. Because kbin.social was down by then, the post didn’t “federate” from lemmy.world through kbin.social to lemm.ee.
- See https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] for another example. waveform.social was an instance that died, but people were still posting to the lemmy.world copy, but only lemmy.world people were able to see those posts because they were not federating. So in comments we just decided to make any new posts to another community on a “living” instance, and we put a notice to that effect.
Interesting, the Lemmy World 13th floor link takes me to K-Bin because I’m using the Voyager app. Normally, it’s nice that the app handles those links this way, but it seems, in the case of instances which have died, where commenters want to link and show people new posts that have been happening, the Voyager feature is actually a shortcoming.

Wat
Kbin was a project from a solo developer who also ran the main instance but had his real life (health issues, IIRC) demand all his time in the past few months. He had to abandon the project and the instance. Since it was open source it got forked and is continuing under the new Mbin project.
Forked to Mbin.
RIP. A lot of the best material I’ve reposted/been reposting though.
RIP kbin Ernest was a real one
Just send you a prayer of help, you received it?? <3 But keep the posts coming!
Pretty sure this is what my issue is. Hyper focus on work for an hour or two at a time; 10-15 mins of memes. Rinse repeat
But that actually sounds perfect?

I hope stamets is ok
Boo, it would have been funnier if they found it and nobody tagged them.
Haha, thank you for the tag. Would’ve missed this!
Data scrapper?
they’re the same person
I know on what side of the Tuvix debate you’re on.
how could you tell?
I can’t, I was bluffing. I got nothing on you.
*runs away*
I feel like I’m good friends with The Picard Maneuver, Flying Squid, and Kolanaki, just because they’re in all the same threads I am.
I don’t even consciously interact with specific people on Lemmy, but sometimes I just happen to be paying attention to the usernames and I do the Leo pointing meme like “Hey, I recognize that guy!”
Fuck kolanaki and their annoying ass name. Blocked them long time sgo because of it
You’re missing out on seeing them getting roasted for saying tater tots are bad. 🤷
Sheesh, dude. Why hate a person that much over their name being displayed differently?
anything longer than “brb” and their terminal can’t display it correctly
Also this
Those big blue letters are revolting. It’s like getting blasted with a pop up ad in an otherwise clean UI
One of the things I love about the fediverse is it’s not too busy for me to recognize usernames. Feels like an old phpBB board.
That’s so far my favorite part of the community. I pretty much exclusively browse the “everything across all instances” thing and a handful of names have become really recognizable over the last few weeks.
Every time I go to the bathroom, I make a comment.
I think I might have kidney disease.
So now every time you want to make a comment you get the urge to go to the bathroom?
Pavlov and his dog want a word
Or a bladder problem.
Maybe get your prostate checked too
I love how this post has been up for six hours, nobody has tagged them, and they haven’t found it on their own yet.
Who?
are you new to lemmy?
You joined yesterday.
this is my alt, my real acc is a bit older ;)
Everyone knows that there is know known defence against The_Picard_Manoeuvre
Well then slap her into warp 10 and eject all the cargo to save weight.
May I ask about your profile branding?
Sorry to fuck a joke up by being a nerd, but I don’t think weight (mass) matters much in a ship that could travel warp 10. The ship wouldn’t have enough momentum to matter all that much.
All you did was give your cargo to someone else, I think. I mean, I’ll take it if you think it would help.
No, you dump the cargo to make it more maneuverable, that way you can do a sick drift.
Something something turn into salamanders with the captain and shag.
but I don’t think weight (mass) matters much in a ship that could travel warp 10.
I’m sure the ship floating through space also plays a factor
Not much. It’s the space around the ship that moves, not the ship itself.
Oh shit. Suck on that, nerd!
I just remembered MrBabyMan. Turns out he’s still an animation editor for Disney stuff, if anyone is curious. Wonder how he feels about social media in general now.
Hey, it’s honest work.
lots of people work online so its possible to feed this place while feeding the company
Feed the chicken, Hayley
I too quit my job to post on Lemmy. In retrospect it was a poor life choice.
Fry, is that you?
I’ve almost quit Lemmy because I got a job. I hate my life more than ever.
Congratulations, I’m sorry for you!
The trick is to get to a job that runs itself or doesn’t care if your in or not.

Damn. That’s like 90% of Lemmy just… gone.

I just went to your instance to help guess if you might be okay with a slightly inappropriate comment as a reply in a different comment chain (because you’re not a fox, lol).
RIP Yiffit. Any decision which instance you’re moving to yet?
Pawb is seemingly federated with most chill instances and has open reg if you want a furry home server
Trying to register there but I never got the verification email or a reply from anyone about doing it manually. :/
Fr, he been here 3 weeks and already got tired of it. Damn that’s…something.
because The_Picard_Maneuver can be in two places at one time.
