I've noticed this too. I think it might be when the comment has fallen to a second page.

Plot twist: The AI can detect pirate speak and uses these posts to write dialogue for a pirate character based on a prompt.

Can't wait for the pirate bluebeard to speak about where his buried API is.

To be fair, I tend to agree with you. I don't think the software itself has anything to do with their political ideologies since it really isn't a commercial endeavor. I was just identifying it as a common objection that I read.

And you're absolutely right, people are free to choose an independent instance or start their own if they have any concerns about the owner of an instance or how it is moderated. And after all, isn't that what this is all about?

I half believe that he's a time traveler and has seen the future. In that future, Twitter lead to significant damage to human population as a whole, and that the only way Elon can save the future is by destroying Twitter and driving it into the ground until it becomes 4chan 2.0

Lots of people take issue with the political leanings of the Lemmy developers which may be why it's lower on the list, although I agree that it is more established.

In any case, that's the beauty of the fediverse. Create an account on both, or choose just one and cross-subscribe to communities you like.

You're being linked directly to the community on its own instance. In this case you want to view it from this instance, and there are some issues with automatic link formatting right now. If you want to go to the community (magazine) from here, you can put /m/communityName in the url i.e. kbin.social/m/[email protected]

There's an issue with link formatting right now.

You can try removing the ! in the link you're getting a 404 on (it should be /m/community not /m/!community) or using search and searching for the community name using a leading @ instead of !

This is a good point, but pixelfed is more like Instagram so it depends a lot on the comment & conversation style that users prefer.

The main issue seems to be your photo storage requirements. In terms of federation, your posts should appear normally for whatever platform you're using to users who are on other instances so long as the instances don't become defederated for some reason (a rarity in most cases unless an instance has a large number of spammers or bad users).

To answer what I think you're asking, yes, users on other instances would see the post and would be linked to the images stored on your "home" instance in most cases.

Really? Well now I need to check again, thanks for the heads up

Do 5 year olds have email? Because it's kind of like that. You have an email address "[email protected]" and you can send a message to "[email protected]". You don't both have to be on Gmail.

Well fediverse apps are kind of like this. Imagine lots of little reddits with their own communities and user bases.

You are [email protected]. You can talk to [email protected]. Same goes for magazines/communities (subreddits). If you want to join a magazine on another server, you can do that like @technology (notice the leading @ symbol which tells Kbin that it's a magazine and not a user).

This is what is most important for the average user to understand about the fediverse. There is a ton more than this like interoperability with different apps that aren't thread based like Kbin and Lemmy like Mastodon but that's a different discussion.

Edit: The community link should probably start with an ! as suggested by @fu but there is a known issue with formatting presently: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/199

It's a shame that these scripts don't work fit Firefox mobile. That's where I do most of my... Well I was gonna say redditing. Kbining? 😁
