Moving to: m/AskMbin!

My magazine @GooglePlayDeals has no subscribers except me. Most probably because it's new and was just created a few days back and I don't know how to advertise it on kbin. On the other site, there were subs we could link to to get subscribers.

I've seen some people who have their magazine name next to their username. How do they do that? Probably saw it on lemmy world i think.

I have an operational question, any help appreciated.

When eating at home, how do you cook your hot dogs?

I've seen a good bit of debate on Kbin surrounding downvotes, so what are your thoughts? Should they exist? Should they be shown separately? Should you be able to see who downvoted?

I personally like downvotes and especially like that they're shown separately. You're able to get a much better idea of how people feel about something, and you can more easily express a minority opinion. Of course, there are downsides (e.g., brigades), but I think the pros outweigh the cons.

How much of this works with Mastodon and Pixelfed?
Hi, @AskKbin community! (ง ื▿ ื)ว
I created a couple of groups on a #Lemmy instance to see how well they got along with #Mastodon & #Pixelfed. Even though I could create posts from Mastodon comments made from Lemmy were invisible to Mastodon users and vice versa.
I like the fact that #Kbin allows tagging contents in magazines. Is there something else I should know to post from other socials?

I'm looking for a simple way of doing blogging. I'm trying several CMSs like Grav, Textpattern... etc., and SSGs like Jekyll but sometimes are limited or too heavy to manage or deal with.

I was thinking if I can use this tool just for me. I mean don't let other users publish but just me. Is this a good tool for that purpose? To be clear: I want to run a blog not a network.

What is this microblog for?

#AskKbin

Now that Medium has fully enshittified, and Substack is well on its way, where can I publish for free with good discoverability and no paywall? I've considered starting my own blog site using a static site generator, but I figured I'd get people's thoughts prior to doing that. Thanks!

Remember those peppery nuggets back in the late 90s-early 00s that they had at burger king? Those were the bomb. Often I crave them and weep because they are no more. The new burger king nuggets are tasteless trash. I need a dupe please

Have you ever developed a PTSD not because you lived something traumatizing but because of a piece of fiction (movie, serie, book, etc...) ?

For me, it's the saga Final Destination, the first horrific saga i've ever watched, and will likely be the last.

How would they fare against the gom jabbar?

Who is your favorite fictional hero or superhero and how would they fare against the gom jabbar?

I work in a town that has a lot of trucker traffic with very little locals, they treat those toilets like they are just straight holes in the ground, never flush, never clean the seats if they miss, sweat stains stuck on after just an hour without cleaning.

But as I cleaned the remnants of somebody's breakfast dinner lunch off of the rim and floor. I had the thought that this can't be the absolute worst right?

Just wondering if anyone as taken Google's Generative AI training. I am interested in learning more (and it is free), but I was curious if it was worth the time investment.

Also, if you have taken any of Google's other training ... those experiences are welcome as well.

So There's This System where you can specify which language you're writing in, and I always write in English.

So why, oh God why, does it keep insisting on changing it to Danish?

I mean, Kbin please, could you ask me?

Or just bloody remember what I always set it to (when I accidentially remember to set it)?

Also what would be your strategy to taking down said largest animal?

What holds up to re-watches?

For me, it's the SCP-999, he seems pretty wholesome and inoffensive.

What do you like about kbin compared to other instances?
I for one like the UX. What do you like?

I'm on both kbin and artemis.camp while the kbin API gets sorted out. In the mean time, I'd like to just use one account, as it becomes difficult to track usage for me. I've made my Artemis accounts a mod on the magazines I mod here, but it doesn't show up like that on the Artemis side, and the Artemis account doesn't have mod controls. Is that something that is by design or just lack of implementation of that functionality yet?

given a large enough sampling of dna, and imaging of those people for training... could these LLMs predict what people look like based on a new dna sample?

-I bough a niffler plushie for my 30th birthday and i'm still sleeping with it.
-I still listen music for childrens i listened when i was little.

It could be seemingly paranormal or simply perplexing. Just a story that sparks your curiosity.

So obviously a lot of us are partial to kbin/Lemmy but have any of you explored the other alternatives like Raddle, Squabbles.io, and Tildes?

I made an account on Raddle because r/egg_irl and r/ennnnbyyy moved there and I also made one on Squabbles.io because some of the subreddits I joined had an analogous one on Squabbles.io. I haven't use either enough to form a good opinion on them. Raddle seems to be predominantly political, and I'm trying to limit my exposure to politics and prevent doomscrolling.

What are your thoughts on these alternatives?
