I tried last week and gave up as the docs were no good. But since then they’ve been updated and are now quite comprehensive!

Have you looked at this? https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/wiki#admin-guide

You need a browser extension. On Firefox it’s called “Stylus”. Once you’ve installed that, go to https://userstyles.world/style/10301 and click the ‘install’ button.

I’m not sure what the equivalent Chrome extension is but userstyles.world will tell you.

There is only one admin and it is also the only kbin developer.

Kbin is not ready, I’m sad to say.

Sweet as!

Ubuntu or Mint are among the most noob-friendly.

But probably the biggest impact will be whether you go with Gnome or KDE. KDE is more Windows-like so could be a softer landing.

I’ve read a lot of stories where installing Linux resulted in less support calls, not more. It depends on how ambitious the user is - if they’re mostly just staying in their lane and browsing the web it should be rock solid.

No, the whole thing is too much like work. The CSS has no license so anyone is free to rip it off and use it - someone who has already set up their lemmy development environment would be able to incorporate this CSS in a few minutes.

Plus I’m sure the devs are frantically dealing with far more important issues to do with scaling, spam and moderation so they won’t get to my PR for months. This user script approach gets a result out there immediately.

Agreed.

This doesn’t need to be hard - there are plenty of boilerplate “code of conduct” documents for online communities which can be copied or used as a starting point. e.g. https://mycrowd.ca/about

Don’t forget to buy thermal paste!

I no longer care if the blackouts change reddit or not. Viva la fediverse!

If you put “!asklemmy@lemmy.ml” into the search (magnifying glass in the top right) then you’ll see a bunch of posts appear from that community.

Just above the list of search results is a link saying “<icon> asklemmy@lemmy.ml - 29 subscribers”. It is not very obvious or highlighted in any way. Lemmy should fix this.

Click on that and the contents of that community will be displayed - crucially, it’ll be displayed by your instance. You haven’t gone to lemmy.ml, you’re still on your home instance (check the address bar of your browser).

In the top right there is a nice big “Subscribe” button. Click it.
