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)

Lemmy and Kbin: The Best Reddit Alternatives? in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] rideranton@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

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)

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 here (kbin.social)

This will allow apps like @artemisapp to interact more effectively with kbin!

YSK that Kbin can subscribe not only to magazines and communities, but entire instances. in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

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

Fediverse won't replace Reddit as long as Lemmy is the main platform being promoted in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

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
