@azezeB Some suggestions

1. Dead By Daylight. 5 people with one being the Killer so you can rotate that if desired.
2. Halo Infinite multiplayer can do 12 person parties for the “Big” map modes.
3. I believe Lego Fortnite also lets you have up to 8. It’s more Minecraft and not a Battle Royale at all.
4. Lethal company modded can support more than 4. That could be lots of fun.
5. Retro FPS like Quake from various years. Just as a small distraction

The technical details will determine what can and can't be done, but from the Mastodon documentation:

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

Moving your account is the same as redirecting your account, but it will also irreversibly force everyone to unfollow your current account and follow your new account, if their software supports the Move activity. Your posts will not be moved, due to technical limitations. There is also a 30 day cooldown period in which you cannot migrate again, so be very careful before using this option!

Depending on if k/m/bin receives a "Move" activity, it may be possible to update user blocklists based on the information in the "Move" activity. However, "Move" activity is generally only sent to existing followers. (I don't know all the details on that) Activities are generally sent to an instance to handle, not individual user accounts, though, so I suspect this might not be as big of a hurdle as it might seem.

Short answer: Maybe. Depends on how they "Moved". It wouldn't be simple to implement, however I don't see anything preventing it in this particular case. You should open an Issue for feature request for it. I recommend including the above piece from the Mastodon documentation, however in your issue.

@ReverseModule

As someone who really enjoys PeerTube, I also feel like the technical barriers to it being as popular as other platforms are a bit tougher to overcome.

I would love for it to be more popular. I also know it's really hard to convince content creators and live streamers to embrace it.

I love PeerTube. I have been trying to help the projects however I can. I also know that the economics of moving to PeerTube is quite different. Very few people make money microblogging (Twitter). Very few people make money posting to Reddit.

Streaming on Twitch or YouTube, or making content for YouTube can and for many people does bring in money, though. Creating an ecosystem where viewers are willing to pay, while increasing viewer counts of content so that sponsorships can be more common, all while trying to slowly convince people that we should be supporting things financially that up to now has been "free(not really, but experientially it 'feels' free)" is a lot of work.

I plan on supporting PeerTube as much as I can in the future. I want it to grow. Maybe someday, it will get there. I can hope.

@skele_tron
It’s a little older but the magazine kbinfaqs@kilioa.org has a couple good ones

@trashhalo
In addition to the previous information, as a side note, it is possible for non-Kbin and non-Lemmy content to be automatically routed to a Magazine via tags and show up as a Thread if the content is federated as a Page. One example is WriteFreely blog posts. Frendica can also do this but I’m not sure on the details.

@HamSwagwich

This is a result of the original design. Kbin, up until just before the peak traffic hit, was using boosts as upvotes and favorites/likes were just below the post/thread (where boost sits now). Lemmy does it the way it is now (likes = upvotes) so Ernest changed it to match Lemmy behavior. But just as he changed it, he hadn’t changed the calculation for reputation to match when the server nearly melted down and he has to spend all his time just trying to keep the site alive by himself.

@timetravelingnoodles

This is due to the nature of the Fediverse mostly. Kbin, lemmy and other platforms all exchange data with each other using a standard that's meant to be flexible, but has a lot of ambiguity. As a result, to accommodate the vastly different platforms (not just kbin or lemmy which are the Reddit-like platforms), some of the design decisions end up with behavior that doesn't quite fully mimic the large social media platforms that many of them try to emulate.

In this regard, upvotes are actually using what's known as a "Like/Favorite/Star" to represent them. These by design, are a way to let the creator of the content/post/thread/microblog/etc know that you "like" their content. In kbin, instead of showing it as a number of "likes" or "favorites" as on other platforms, shows as the number of "Upvotes" on a thread, or post. Lemmy also uses "Like/Favorite/Star" for upvotes.

@Noki

I actually did testing on that and you can see what I wrote in this FAQ under the question what happens when someone follows a kbin magazine from a non-kbin platform. It’s the part labeled

@Valhaitham

I just searched for your magazine from fedia and it showed up right away.

I used @ magazine @kbin.social (no spaces) in the main site search box.

The same for Calckey.
Make sure you add the leading @ before the magazine name and domain.

@V699

This is from a while ago. Here is the explanation.

https://kbin.social/m/kbinDesign/p/321387/why-the-choice-to-call-the-groups-magazines#post-comment-558994

@peroleu

This is a great question and certainly confusing for those not used to the federation aspect.

A quick explanation:

If the magazine has a domain name at the end of it that isn’t the same as your kbin account, then it means that the magazine’s “home” is on a different instance.

Example:

technology@fedia.io

That means that all the instances (servers) will push content and updates to the “home” instance and receive updates and content from the “home” instance.

When an instance (server) subscribes for the first time to a magazine on a different instance, it will start to receive new content from that moment forward. However, older content isn’t pushed out to the newly subscribing instance. You can think of it as subscribing to a newsletter or something. You won’t automatically be sent copies of all the older content but you will get new things moving forward.

You can have older content show up by manually entering the direct link to the older content into the search bar on your home instance (in this case kbin.social) but it’s a manual process.

That why the message shows up about “may not be complete” since it doesn’t know how much total content there is on the remote instance.

This topic (called “backfilling posts/contents”) is one that has been discussed on the Fediverse for some time.

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568

Thank you for sharing. There needs to be a lot more for sure added to kbin.

As for the ideas, I haven’t searched for these yet, but you can see which ones have been submitted and which ones have code changes already waiting for review here:

https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues

The Pull Requests have some code changes waiting for review.

@lavender
I think the most responsible way would be to expand object storage support beyond the current AWS-hosted S3 storage to support the different hosting services who offer compatible storage. There is already an issue for it and I hope it gets added relatively soon officially. (There is a patch that does seem to add it)

https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/117

@lavender

I did a quick set of tests and I can use direct Pixelfed image links so far. I think it would be better if kbin could process the embedded version of the links, but that always needs to be coded correctly to avoid potential security issues.

I could see it being useful for people who produce or create their own content.

I also think that setting up Pixelfed accounts on existing servers just to upload memes or other content downloaded from other sites to then link into kbin is something to ponder. I feel like a large scale push to turn Pixelfed into Imgur just as an “off-computer/off-mobile device” storage without any expectations of having the uploaded content be interacted with or discovered outside of kbin would have some effect on those Pixelfed instances.

In the extreme case of “I’m just using this Pixelfed account as a type of Google Drive storage location for media”, I think Pixelfed instance admins would feel friction and frustration especially since nearly all Pixelfed content is OC. Posting screenshots of SNS messages, or reposts or older content or gifs of SNS videos (Tik tok or similar) would change the local timeline on those Pixelfed instances for sure and I’m not sure how that would affect the user’s experience on those instances. Unlike Imgur, Pixelfed doesn’t have “Top, Rising, New” so the local timeline would just be like Imgur’s “Usersub - newest” with no way to quickly filter out or block. Especially if it becomes common.

@lavender

That’s a good question. I think I’ll start linking to my Pixelfed account if I start using more images and upload there. Time to test some things.

@kill

Do you have your notifications enabled in the Settings tab of your account? If you click on your account name and select Settings, on the General tab underneath the Writing and Privacy sections should be the notification section to choose what to enable.

@fiofiofio

Not that I've heard. I hope someone does work on a directory since it's going to just get even more busy I think. For reference, the first 3rd party kbin server as part of this recent migration is less than 2 weeks old and until then it was just the main English one, the main Polish one, and a dev one or two. The Lemmy servers have been around for many months.

@the8thbit
The issues on codeberg are a good place to discuss since they don’t “move around” so to speak.

The matrix room can help some with feedback but my opinion is we should be pushing more details-oriented comments to codeberg for better tracking. Matrix suffers from things rolling off and losing visibility.
