I’ll have to give it some time and see how things shake out. There are some growing pains with the Fediverse but I’d love a Goodreads alternative.

Great idea as far as I’m concerned.

I completely get what you’re saying and agree with a lot of it. Kbin isn’t and shouldn’t be Reddit but there is a certain amount of user interface tweaking and terminology clarification that needs to be done.

Checkout this link for a user script that helps to fix some of the inconveniences you listed while waiting for official fixes. It’s not my script but works well for me.

Can we interact with BookWyrm from kbin.social?

That’s very helpful and makes sense. Thanks!

Hopefully we can add that to @ernest’s ridiculously long and ever growing feature request list.

Same error for me. Another bug that I’m sure @ernest will squash in time. If you click “All magazines” in the top right you can still search for those. Obviously not as helpful as the full search but it’s something.

It’s definitely an interesting concept but then you have to define what constitutes a “duplicated” community. Do they have to share the exact same name? What if they are functionally duplicates but have different names (fediverse v fedi-verse)? What would happen if “trees” on Kbin is about actually trees but on a Lemmy instance it’s about weed?

I don’t have answers just questions. But I do like the idea of being able to abstract the instance that a community/magazines lives on one step further and make the topic the important part.

An interesting take that I hadn’t considered. I still wish I had the option to toggle on/off the original source for the user and the magazine/community.

I agree that this would also be a useful feature! No hate for German but I don’t speak it and would prefer not to see it in my feed.

Not really sure. I’ve never done this before. These are about a month old. I’ll probably just leave them in here until they get too crowded. Haha. I like to fuss over them and make sure they are all lined up so they look nice.
