It used to be the fastest, but nowadays I find its performance doesn’t surpass Firefox and Edge that much. Actually, I haven’t used Chrome much at all recently, so maybe it doesn’t at all nowadays. I definitely haven’t noticed it’s absence now that I’ve been slowly returning to Firefox thanks to Google and Microsoft’s constant privacy snafoos.
This reminds me, I should put the password to my password keeper vault somewhere. If I lost that, I would be so screwed.
What an interesting idea for a community.
What’s the Kbin link to get to it again?
Christopher Nolan has done some good big movies not based on existing book or IP: Memento, Inception, Interstellar, and Tenet.
This seems more like a TIL post than a YSK one
I’d also encourage people to check the Lemmy explorer first before assuming a community doesn’t exist just because it’s not on lemmy.world. Https://Lemmyverse.net has a surprising amount of communities on it, split among so instances. We don’t want a bunch of clones.
What’s an instance?
A website hosted by some kind individual or group created to host data and interface with one of the specific fediverse applications (Lemmy, Kbin, Mastadon, Pixelfed, etc).
What’s a community?
This is a Lemmy-specific term. They are topic-specific boards hosted on instances, similar to subreddits on Reddit. The Kbin term for this same idea is magazines.
Example: For Lemmy, they are represented as “!community”, such as !pics. On Kbin, they are “@magazine”, such as @pics.
What are federations?
I haven’t really heard the word used this way, I’ve heard it more as an adjective or verb. This may take more than one line to explain because I literally had to see it to believe it.
To have one instance federated with another is to have them communicating with each other, so that users, posts, communities, etc on one instance can be read by uses on another instance. It’s how I can read all these Lemmy posts on Kbin and comment under them, because these Lemmy instances are federated with the Kbin.social instance I’m currently on.
What’s mastadon?
A federated version of Twitter.
Whats Kbin?
A federated web application that combines the link-aggregation of Reddit with the individual micro blogging threads of Twitter.
What’s Activity Pub?
It’s the current protocol to enable federation of all these sites we’ve been talking about. Federation is possible because all these sites are speaking the same language, and this is that language.
In addition to Lemmy, Kbin, Mastadon that use Activity Pub, we also have Pixelfed, Micro.blog, Nextcloud, PeerTube, and more I’m sure.
If you have any other questions, just ask!
I still need an app that does the RIF thing of hiding the little links under a post (time it was posted, by whom, also links to share share, save, hide, comments, etc.) on the main feed until I click on it. It saved a lot of screen real estate.
But until an app does that, I’ve been switching between Liftoff, Connect, Jerboa, wefwef, and the kbin.social PWA. They all seem to sort posts in different ways so it’s actually provided a different experience each time lol.
We’re kind of starting to get that, we just need to encourage people to spread out from lemmy.world and make communities in these other instances. We’ve got lemmy.film that’s TV and film focused, pathfinder.social and another ttrpg instance, star trek has an instance, the solar punk instance, there’s a couple tech, privacy, and hacker instances. I’d also like to see more local area communities in instances like midwest.social instead of all on lemmy.world, too.
Thank God Lula is the President there again. The whole world needs to be sending the Amazon bordering countries money to save carbon holders like that.
