This is a very contentious topic right now, and it’s not clear at the moment whether votes will remain public or be made private. There are some very vocal proponents on both sides.

I’m not so sure, given that it’s more of a Twitter replacement. I think it would capture more potential Mastodon users than Kbin/Lemmy users.

Lol. Good one

I would argue that the federation is the platform.

This functionality is on the radar but with the amount of work happening right now on more important things, I’m not sure where this will fall on the roadmap.

Ernest has brought a server admin on board for this reason. Also a number of contributors are actively working on improving the setup process.

Should we be surprised at this, after the whole Anti-Meta Pact thing got so much traction? Like on one hand we don’t want to federate with them, but on the other we’re unhappy when they won’t?

Our rep points are currently broken anyway

How can you tell

It’s being discussed currently and I’m sure it will go away.

Two have been set up on Kbin: (including links for both lemmy and kbin users until the kbin bugs get fixed)
!IAmA@kbin.social (kbin link)
!askmeanything@kbin.social (kbin link)

oh dear goodness. Yes but no.

They’re pretty different, in that one platform has an API and the other doesn’t. 😉

Not quite that easy, unfortunately, as we don’t have an API yet, but it is being worked on.

kbin sounds like a hex editor for KDE

That’s what I needed to hear today. genius

Not for me. I know PHP and not Rust, so if I want to go somewhere that I have a chance of contributing to, that narrows it down.

@cody has been doing some work revamping parts of the UI, including the voting buttons. See his post here and let him know what you think.
