Thank you for the reply.

From my point of view, you were offline because you had personal issues to deal with, and you dealt with that first, and simply resumed the development after that, and I also see no issues with Ernest being the owner because he is the owner and the founder despite the project being open source and sure, contributions had to go through him but that’s fine as long as Kbin itself isn’t dead, if it was, then asking him to remove that process would be more reasonable to let the rest of the community try to revive the project, but Kbin wasn’t dying or so, it was merely paused for a short period of time.

I personally won’t be hopping in-between projects like a kangaroo, I am invested and am already on Kbin so far, its good to have alternatives generally, but in this case, I personally see no reason to go for Mbin. I also encourage and hope potential future contributors focus on a set of projects and not spread themselves too thin.

We all have a life outside the internet, so pauses or breaks here and there is natural, this is less visible in big tech companies, more visible in small startups/projects in early stages which was really the case with Kbin, so we should be patient, I will be atleast :)

Did you guys talk about this to Ernest? What did he have to say about this?

Melroy, if you don’t mind me asking, why did you go away from Kbin to start your own? I see nothing wrong with Kbin, ernest seems to be a great hardworking guy, I feel like we are just spreading the already small community too thin, Kbin is already small compared to Lemmy and now only the development has started picking up it’s pace back again, another spinoff of Kbin makes no sense to me personally.

I wish you just contributed directly to Kbin man.

Lol what??

Thanks!

Do you know when exactly?

@ernest Should be available for all moderators, owners should atleast have an optional option to enable that.

And what happened to the requesting subs function? When is that coming out?

@OvergrownSkeleton

Thanks for correcting me, but maybe you should also not leave majority of the part I said, in your following comments (ie: your definition of clickbait for example).

And there is nothing bad in Gamification, it simply helps drive engagement which proves my point itself again.

To me, getting a few upvotes mean nothing but a small encouragement and sign that the people upvoted my content liked it and only encourages me to post more in that sub. Same if it was downvoted, then maybe it’s simply because people disagreed with me, or maybe there is something wrong with what I posted.

And these notifications are exclusively only for posts I MADE, hence this is a notification that does not affect other users, and they will only get notifications for the contents they posted.

I still don’t see who this is clickbait or gamification.

As far as I know, clickbait means - a misleading way of bringing people to one’s content, this is in no way clickbait as clickbait has a completely different meaning.

Gamification, doesn’t apply at all when this does not affect other users but only you, even those who upvoted my content, only I get these notifications.

Reading your message, it doesn’t even sound like you are against the idea of this notification for upvotes you recieved, but you seem to either not understand what upvotes are for or you are against upvoted.

Upvotes are mean’t to encourage you to make better content and show how well recieved your posted content is, if you don’t want upvote notifications for the reason you meantioned, might as well completely remove to upvote/downvote feature.

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree here, I don’t go want to go in rounds for this.

I have to disagree with this because I think you are misunderstanding how it works. It only does that to my posts, but not to others, so how is that gamification and clickbait to users? It’s a mere notification to myself for the content I posted.

Yep, that’s weird. Anyways I got the notifications for comments working thanks to you, appreciate it.

Okay sorry for the confusion. Upvotes do get notifications, even on Reddit but not for every upvote, for example if a post gets upvotes to 10, 50, 100, Reddit notifies you. That is what I mean’t, not every upvote.

And regarding settings, while I will check and change it, why is this not turned on by default? Notifications for comments are fundemental isn’t it?

Or Kbin! Kbin can do both microblogging and link aggregation/discussion. Tbh departing Twitter users coming to Mastodon, and reddit refugees are brought together on Kbin.

The “all-in-one” method acomplished by Kbin is a huge feat, especially when it’s built by a single person from scratch (ie; not based on lemmy codebase wise) and still much more ActivityPub compatible.

Kbin is sadly very underrated imo.

That’s crazy, @ernest should consider solving this issue. For sure we can use uBlock Origin, but for the average user who may not know this method unless someone tells them, this can put them off.

I am on Kbin, prefer Kbin, moderate on Kbin lik mentioned on the post and asking for Kbin…
