@bayaz It's you who gave me food for thought, alongside many other moderators! I only found out yesterday how to properly ban spam accs on kbin.social.
I really appreciate all efforts to grow and take care of communities, be it on kbin, on lemmy, or on mbin! Every day, I try to keep learning from other moderators.
Given the sheer lack of moderation tools, many mods do great work. I hope the situation will improve so that moderatoring will become easier.

truly a long time issue! arrows work for the 2nd page only > same problem occurs in the microblogging section: arrows do not work
@ThatOneKirbyMain2568
moreover, i would love to see kbin and mbin devs joining forces, thereby reducing each other's workload :)
@spaduf mondragon is by far the biggest coop worldwide, and the company is not a classical coop, but rather resembles other big capitalist ventures
@ThatOneKirbyMain2568
i hope so, too!
if mod tools worked better, the microblogging sections could become even more interesting in terms of content, and less of a hassle for moderators 🙏
@ernest
thank you! tags from kbin do federate on microblogging fedi - kbin users should use the the tags section rather than the text body though
i also had a look at friendica; sadly, friendica seems not to be capable to pick up tagged posts from kbin > see e.g. https://friendica.opensocial.space/search?tag=kbin > tried my luck at several friendica instances, and every time: no content from kbin
tags in kbin threads do not display on kbin pwa, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/kbinDevlog/t/692551 > on microblogging fedi platforms, i can see three tags: kbin, fediverse, and kbinDevlog for the magazine > with kbin pwa, neither kbin nor fediverse show up
The solution, however, is not to reduce the number of instances, but rather to provide more tools for instances to group communities together.
kbin collections are grouping together communities, but unfortunately, collections themselves do not federate

@minnieo
ernest's approach is unique in many ways, and
the kbin community is highly responsive to new ideas
@ernest @DarkGamer
even weirder if it’s a Mastodon fork such as Glitch-soc, Hometown, Fedibird,… since they use older Mastodon versions as base
i myself have been active on calckey/firefish, hajkey and iceshrimp instances, and never had a problem interacting with people on mastodon forks > there had been some backfilling issues, but they got solved > but federation problems do exist: so far, it is not possible for *key users to interact with lemmy instances; also link posts from kbin do not show up on *key timelines
@Gordon_Freeman
It really depends on the very magazine. Basically, it's magazines with Ernest as sole moderator where these problems occur. I'd give it a wait.
