do people use usb for printers? my hp works fine on ethernet or wireless, no cloud required. SmartTank 7605. It’s a great little printer.

Always ask for an upgrade, especially if you’re above base level on their rewards scheme. I got heaps of Emirates upgrades to BC doing this. Also, I once had my seat double booked on an a380, was a great economy with good leg room. If this happens, and the plane is at full capacity, don’t fight for your seat. Arrived at seat, taken, check boarding passes, double booked. I told the lady to keep the seat, called a flight attendant over to sort it out, BC upgrade right in front of her!

people forced onto the streets, drug dealing, won the lottery… lotsa reasons!

Apple don’t let you change app icons outside of the app? I’m not sure what’s stupider, apple or Reddit. On Android I can set my icon to whatever I like in my launcher.

I like the user interface of kbin, and I just hate the name lemmy. Only one thing in this world should be called lemmy.

Have you isolated the 5v line on the USB between printer and octopi? How does it go when printing direct of the printer?

Meh we already have /m/kbinmeta and redditMigration.

facebook groups really killed off long term availability of information. If you want true niche communities, and easy to find information, you have to go looking for true old school forums (xenforo, phpbb, vbulletin etc). so many forums I used to use had a mass exodus to facebook.

Reddit doesn’t really help either, it’s still centred around instant gratification and doomscrolling.

Just look at say one of the largest woodworking forums (www.woodworkforums.com), vs /r/woodworking. The forums are full of subforums so filtering information is easy. Default sort is by newest response, so if you bump a week/month/year old post, it will get noticed. The combination of easy to find information, and the display mode reduces duplication of information.

Whereas /r/woodworking is mostly just a showcase of work, minimal conversation, and minimal advice. It might as well be instagram. If you respond to a 2 day old post with a question, good luck having anyone even read it, let alone respond.

A lot of forms ceased to exist after facebook came along, or at least exist to the same extent. Facebook groups are horrible. Searching for information/help is so hard, no one does it, so you get the same questions over and over. it’s easier to post your question, wait for a response, than it is to actually search for the same question that was asked just the other day! My other issue with facebook groups is there are so many of them (I am in three or four for once hobby). You see a post in your feed, accidentally cause a feed refresh, and do you think you can find that post again? nigh on impossible.

I’d love to see kbin/lemmy introduce a solid tagging system, or sub communities somehow so information can be stored and accessed in a meaningul way.

eg
/m/woodworking/furniture
/m/woodworking/tools

etc etc.

another +1 for kbin. I dislike lemmy from a desktop persepective.

just create your communities here in the fediverse. If they get populated, then you will be able to assign mods from your userbase. You’re preaching to the un-convertible over there now.

What happens if you spell address correctly?

and ignore m/all? Even if I enable ‘hide adult content’, it still shows up because it is not flagged as adult content. what is the point of having nsfw flags if nsfw content is being posted in communities/magazines that are not nsfw communities? I like having a look through /all every now and then, it’s a nice way to find new communities. But when there are heaps of nsfw posts in it well you can see an issue can arise. I take it you don’t have kids? Like I said earlier, I have no issue with nsfw content. I just think it should not be something that appears without looking for it. To note: there is no age verification on any of these servers yet.

If anything from across the fediverse can appear on the front page of an instance, that is going to open that instance to a certain level of risk. I mean, it’s been less than a week and we’re already discussing the possibility of CP appearing on kbin.social. Is @ernest ok with the prospect that depicted CP could be on his server?

you might not have a problem with it, but others may.

up the top of this page where the post title is, next to it is (lemmynsfw.com). You have to click on that, then in the side bar there is a block icon. For some reason when you block that lemmy instance, you also lose this thread, which is weird because this thread is hosted on kbin. It must also block links to the blocked instance as well…?

yep. do you not see a problem with this?

I was pretty shocked by m/random. It’s not a nsfw magazine and yet it is full of porn from lemmynsfw.com. I’m not anti porn, but I was a bit shocked as I’m just flicking through kbin at home.

as @Shortcake said. the menu icon next to your username, select subscribed from there, and you will see content from your subscribed magazines. you can also go into your profile and set the main page to default to subscribed, so whenever you come to kbin, you will end up on https://kbin.social/sub

end goal would be the same
the journey would be the same
the messaging would be the only thing to change.

you have to click on the title of the post. :)

Done. 5 coffees. He gonna need them!
