Can you cross-post between magazines on Kbin? (kbin.social)
 

On lemmy.world, there is a button to initiate a cross post, but as far is I can tell, all it does is add the text "cross-posted from: <original post URL>" and put the original post body in a Markdown quotation environment (i.e. "> POST BODY"). This seems to be parsed by the UI and under some posts in Lemmy, it says "cross posted to: <community name>".

Would following the same formatting in Kbin accomplish the same effect?

This is a brilliant way to get around spez's threats. The subreddit is open, the moderators are moderating, and any result of the poll is just the will of the community.

Interesting. So when I'm connecting to peers for downloading, these connections can be initiated in both ways? And since I'm not currently port-forwarding, this means I can only actively find peers, rather than passively accepting incoming connections?

I see, thanks for clarifying! Even without port-forwarding, I'm able to make some connections. Is there just a more limited set of destination IPs I'm able to connect to? What dictates whether or not I'm able to connect?

Huh, I've been using a VPN for torrent without setting up any kind of port forwarding! Can someone explain why you might want to do this?

Flickering Posts on Mouse-Over (kbin.social)
 

Does anyone else have this issue where the post title and UI flickers when you mouse-over the post? It also happens to me on comments within a post. Any idea on how to fix this? There doesn't seem to be anything related to animation in the kbin.social web UI settings.

Favorite LoR streamers / content creators? (kbin.social)
 

Beyond the likes of Majiinbae, Snuuy, and Mogwai, are there any content creators you all particularly enjoy? I'm a big fan of Mogwai, partially due to the fact that his decks are super unique and (often) fairly competitive, and I'm hoping to find some lesser known channels to check out!

There's a whole bunch of stuff like this! Looks like this website has been collecting / recreating them: https://elgoog.im/

One of my favorites that I remember was "Zerg Rush" (https://elgoog.im/zergrush/) which was a tribute to StarCraft.

How big is gaming in linux? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That’s very cool! In general, assuming a game runs well through proton, how’s the gaming performance between Linux and the same hardware on Windows? (You mentioned 1% lows are better, but what about average?)

I’m not super familiar with proton so I would think running in proton has some performance hit; is this not the case?
