in nostupidquestions@lemmy.world•What is the difference between Lemmy and kbin?

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

in AskKbin@kbin.social•Edit: TIL it doesn't matter if you make your community on Lemmy or kbin, they're federated and will have equal exposure

The API is on its way though, I’ve only got a few more endpoints and permissions to add before it will be ready for testing

in ArtemisApp@kbin.social•Artemis public beta up! Thanks Hariette

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

in kbinMeta@kbin.social•kbin.social update

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

in nostupidquestions@lemmy.world•Does Lemmy strip photo GPS data?

Looking in ImageRepository.php it doesn’t appear that images have their extra data stripped. Also testing it on my dev instance showed that GPS data remained in the image. Should be an easy fix since all image uploads are processed through that repository.

Edit: In fact there’s already an issue open for it - https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/374

in youshouldknow@lemmy.world•YSK that a lot of common questions/complaints about Lemmy are presently answered by kbin

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

in technology@lemmy.world•Lemmy and Kbin: The Best Reddit Alternatives?

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)
