What feature do you want if u/lenster have communities 👥?

If you have an account it’d be great to show support for reddit-like threads and mod tools. You probably won’t be able to comment on this post but there’s a few comments that say something similar that you can like to give a sentiment boost such as this one: https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x1d6e-0x092a-DA-0563fbdf

introducing governance there also opens up a very large can of worms and will be interesting to see how they intend to keep that credibly neutral and prevent capture

I think by “govern” they just mean the network is being run by pg project (Gitcoin, protocol guild, clr.fund, giveth. etc.)

Be the change you want to see, anyone can create a new daily

Not by default, I’m adding a script to the Ethfinance Buddy extension, should have it published in the next day or so https://github.com/etheralpha/ethfinance-extension

The hardest part would be finding someone to review the code, but I’d outline the categories like code, ux, tokenomics, risks, etc and then see if anyone is willing to volunteer for those slots

google “crypto conferences” and you’ll get a ton of hits, but but a lot of those listed will be garbage and idk of any that have a curated list

💀

Both scripts are safe… i’m new to monkey scripts, do you know if the author is able to update that code? Like if it’s safe now will it always be safe?

So upon a fedia.io user subscribing to us here, they’d general something like: fedia.io/m/ethfinance@kbin.social.

But how does a user from another instance subscribe to this magazine here? If they’re from another instance and theu came here then their login would be unassociated and they’d need to make a new login

I don’t know how the first migration would work since the database would be coming from kbin.social’s owner ernest himself.

As a backup plan what if we used your insurance to mirror this one. Then if we can’t get a backup from him then we will at least have the backup of your instance.

Link to this script? I could look into reviewing it and maybe adding some other features

First, the two would coincide. There’s nothing at this time “destructive” in starting up another m/ethfinance on any kbin instance, or lemmy instance, or anywhere in the fediverse. It would live there just like r/gaming and r/games and r/truegaming do, and users would gravitate toward the community best fitting them.

Okay on closer look I see that the subs are distinguished by being prefixed with the instance name

Threads/comments/external links/posts (in the microblog) are cataloged by any other instance that properly federated and subscribed to the magazine from the point at which a user subscribed.

This is a part I need to understand better. So let’s say we have your private instance, what causes it to get mirrored? From this comment it sounds like someone subscribing would cause it to get mirrored but that would be it already exists, otherwise how would they subscribe. Is there some prior action that’s needed for it to get picked up?

So, let’s say I or someone else signed up over on new kbin server readit.buzz, we’d have to register on readit as a user there, then browse to and subscribe to ethfinance@kbin.social to start bringing over data. I’ve seen signs that the number of cross-subscribers (inventing this term) on a given instance helps prioritize the speed of syncing.

Do you have time to check if you can impersonate yourself? Aka sign up on an instance where kbin is mirrored using “kbrot” as the username, and posting in the daily thread. If that’s possible I think that’s a big problem.

Caveats are as you’ve mentioned before: the data earlier than subscription is not brought over, original media is lost unless re-hosted elsewhere, and perhaps most importantly… the links are erased from time (eg. Google searches) so that archival threads, well, aren’t. It’s similar to the days of lost phpBB communities and forums in that regard.

Lastly, it is a very easy process to backup and transfer the database. However, because there is at least one step involved there with an admin, we cannot yet call it anywhere near “trustless”
I believe admin Sign-in With Ethereum (via Safe) partially solves this and a VPS company accepting Safe SiWE nearly entirely solves it. But that’s a wish and a dream at this point.

You’d still be trusting whoever is the person to actually export/upload. However, this could be solved via github. Create a PR to merge an back, let’s say monthly. PRs must be reviewed in order to merge. The reviewers are other mods that export and can confirm parity by confirming hashes before merging.

(Sidenote: what’s the old dApp that used to parcel out CPU cycles for tokens, was it Gnosis? Or something else with a G?)

Golem?

So back to your instance, should we be using that instead of using this? Or is there no need since we can export the data and launch our own instance at a later time if needed?

I think those last 2 are related to cloudlfare. They are using cloudflare as a load balancer right now due to the influx of new users rather than direct instance access. They said it’s a temporary thing until the traffic normalizes.

I submitted this feedback along with a few other items

I’ve put together a comparison of Reddit alternatives:

I know everyone is favorable to kbin but I think there’s still some questions that need to be answered, such as hosted vs self-hosted, how mirroring works, and issues with impersonation.

@kbrot with your own instance, if we started using that instead of this, will the instance not be mirrored here because this one already exists and there’s collision?

no mod tools

It’s not used anymore, use evm
