By the way @ernest, it looks like the API has not been properly set up on kbin.social - probably an issue with the public/private key set up. I got a 500 error attempting to visit /api/entries

Not yet - the API is still being reviewed for integration into the main kbin codebase. artemis.camp is using the prerelease code to test the app. If another kbin instance decides to use the prerelease code I believe it might be able to be used on that instance as well, but I’m not 100% on if that’s been implemented by Artemis

At least one mistake in there though, since you can definitely block instances in Kbin too. It’s not the most obvious though.

Also:

• kbin does have an instance wide moderation log in the footer: https://kbin.social/modlog
• kbin supports markdown, though it does not have a preview feature yet
• kbin allows you to block users just like you can block magazines and domains, though there is no way to filter specific words (yet)
• (probably a few more, but those were the ones that I noticed)

@maxeddy

A single health check call a minute by a single app is nothing compared to real world usage

Yeah, it definitely is not a drop in for Lemmy’s API, so if Sync were to support my API for kbin it would be an additional layer for them to add.

I’ve been working on the API, and it is pretty much feature complete (barring feedback) and should be entering review very soon.

Fedia is just another kbin instance, not really a fork. It is tracking the development branch a bit closer than kbin.social, but it’s still the same repo

Lemmy stores who upvoted what but does not make it easily available to everyone like kbin does - you can set up a Lemmy instance to grab upvoted and read them from the DB if you are so inclined, or you could just look at kbin to see the same info

There will be, https://kbin.social/m/artemisapp

Love it! Kbinaut Kibby is adorable =)
