I've tried multiple channels, and I never managed from other software, even though I could find the underlying individual videos that are part of the channels. Can you link an example?

Hello from my Kbin account!

I agree that this part of the article is not well developed, and I should have probably rewritten it. What I was trying to get at is that Flipboard has a hierarchy that is unique: The Actor owns a Group, with the Actor being the highest level, and the Magazine below it.

While you could probably map a Flipboard Magazine onto a ActivityPub Group similarly like a Kbin Magazine is a Group, the intended usecase is still quite different, even though they are both link-aggregators. I dont think this is an insurmountable problem per se, but I dont agree that Kbins Magazines are super similar to Flipboards Magazines. If you wanted an fediverse comparison, I think Flipboards Magazines are actually way closer to the Postmarks.

if anything, its gotten worse tbh. the upside is that the move account feature to mastodon works, was a bit concerned about that.

it doesnt block your old account after a move like mastodon does, so i still have a functional firefish account, just not my followers anymore

chris stating that hes hesitant to open his new (4 person) firefish server to other people until theyve tested more for stability makes me quite hesitant to recommend the platform for now, if stability issues are this deeply ingrained

So my understanding with this new info is that LK99 is quite likely to be 'something', right? That something certainly does not have to be a superconductor, or anything even remotely impactful.

But am I understanding it correctly that the explanations of pure fraud or 'cat walked on keyboard during original measurements' can be mostly ruled out?

Denk dat dit een kandidaat is waar je wel stemmen bij d66 en cda kan wegtrekken

Top! Had wel verwacht dat er mee ingestemd zou worden, maar 90% had ik niet verwacht, erg cool dat het zo breed gedragen wordt

Yeah invite list sped up quite a lot last few weeks, often 5k a day

soms wel fijn om toch af en toe een klein beetje trots te kunnen zijn op onze overheid

 

The server is now live and in use at social.overheid.nl

The official announcement post by the State Secretary of Digitalisation: https://social.overheid.nl/@avhuffelen/110700825255524685

In the post she mentions that the government supports 'value-driven' alternatives to social media. In a letter to the house of representatives she describes Mastodon as a Digital Common Good, and that it fits in the larger strategy of the government of using 'open source, unless' (meaning theyll always use open source unless there is a clear explicit reason not to).

 

Via Alexandra van Huffelen:

Vandaag lanceren wij onze overheidsserver op Mastodon.

In de brief die ik aan de Kamer heb gestuurd over 'Digitale gemeenschapsgoederen' op 22 juni, heb ik aangegeven dat ik twee waardengedreven alternatieven voor social media ondersteun.

Een van deze alternatieven is een 'eigen' Mastodon-server die door overheidsorganisaties gebruikt worden.

Hiermee zetten we weer een stap in onze Werkagenda Waardengedreven Digitaliseren.

Strava Ukraini!

 

An overview of the frontlines and some reflections about Ukraine's summer offensive. The Russian positions have been harder to break through than many expect...

yeah I think it would be good to do more. hashtags are clunky and an eyesore, and I would love to see better support of them that mitigates this. But currently they are the main way to signal discoverability on the fediverse. And posts on kbin are (usually) made with the intention that the public can interact with them.

One thing I would like to see is an extra field when you submit your post where you can add in some hashtags. These can be rendered as Tags in activitypub, which do exactly the same thing as hashtags, except that they are not visible in the main body of the text. The ActivityPub wordpress plugin also does this. I add tags to my posts on wordpress, and when you search for that hashtag, my wordpress blog post shows up, even though you'll not find the hashtag anywhere in the body of the text.

Toch mooi dat VanMoof zo goed het concept van de Tesla voor e-bikes probeert te zijn dat ze zelfs de financiele problemen kopieren.

 

De splijtzwam is een maatregel die het aantal nareizigers moet beperken.

 

Does anyone know how the algorithm for 'hot' works in the microblog section of #Kbin?

#kbinMeta

 

How many humans does it take to make tech seem human? Millions.

 

The growth of Lemmy and Kbin continues with the #redditmigration. Flickr is considering ActivityPub support, and new proposals to help people join the fediverse.

 

Russia's demands for a peace deal will be totally unrealistic, so it is hard to see how the war can end as long as Putin is president in
