  • Lesson learned on trying to mod !bunnies@lemmy.world: Mbin accounts do not play nice with dealing with reports, or changing the sidebar or logo of a community on Lemmy. Lemmy accounts will not play nice with dealing with reports (I forget if they let you change sidebar or logo) unless your Lemmy account is on the same instance as the community. I now have a lemmy.world account, very clearly branded as Elevator7009sAlt.

    !otomegames@kbin.run now has a couple subscribers which is nice. Trying to figure out how it talking to Mastodon works out. Recently discovered that when I explicitly make a for-Mastodon post on Mbin/Kbin by hitting “Add new post”, it also federates to Lemmy… with the first few words as the title. Imagine a Tweet as a thread, with the first few words as the title… yeah, not nice. Have to keep that in mind. Also, link posts I make federate out to Mastodon but any text I put in the body gets wiped which is just sad. The title gets posted twice, once alone and once with the hashtags next to it. I cannot even link to the link post on Mastodon to demonstrate this. All options that might give me the link, even one that looks like a link to the Mastodon post, instead sends you to the Steam page I linked in the link post. Also saw that marking spoilers does not work on Mastodon. Wondering whether I should quit trying to play nice with Mastodon and stop having the magazine tagged. Probably.










  • Thank you, I appreciate it!

    Just in case you mean by “to get you started” that no posts are showing—you might want to check straight at https://kbin.run/m/otomegames. If nobody has subscribed to this community/magazine from your instance before, it’ll either appear totally empty, or it’ll only show a few posts, not sure which, when viewed from your instance, regardless of how many posts the community/magazine has. (If it was subscribed to by at least one person on your instance, and then at some point in time later nobody on your instance subscribes to it, it’ll stop receiving any updates until at least one person subscribes again. The posts from the period when nobody subscribed will be missing.)
