Hello everyone - this community is in need of a few new mods and you can use the comments on this post to volunteer and let us know why you’d like...
I would like to suggest that developers consider as much flexibility when trying to interact with links/handles from off-instance and off-kbin (e.g. lemmy) as possible. I would like for it to work on lemmy in a similar fashion.
I think that the various "incorrect" ways of doing things should work as redirects assuming this would not cause a technical problem. It could even explain the correct way of doing things if you'd like to discourage it.
Non exhaustive examples:
communities
as an example: https://lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists
search kbin.social for https://lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists
- finds occasions where people have mentioned the URL in comment/post
Most lemmy instances suggest searching for a group in a way that doesn't work:
search kbin.social for
for !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
- finds occasions where people have mentioned the handle in comment/post
you need to replace ! with @ to find it:
search kbin.social for
for @wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
- works as expected
So the kbin.social URL is https://kbin.social/m/wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
But what about variations a person could try based on principals of how things work e
lsewhere:
https://kbin.social/m/@wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
https://kbin.social/m/!wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
even allowing use of the /c/ instead of the /m/?
profiles
profiles have similar inconsistencies.
I can view this off-instance profile on kbin.social: https://kbin.social/u/@btschumy@mas.to
but if I try to drop my own username into the same structure, it doesn't work: https://kbin.social/u/@density@kbin.social
The only way to see my profile is (I think) https://kbin.social/u/density
Hope this all is intelligible.
/r/Firefox and /r/FirefoxCSS have both moved to fedia.io kbin instance.
from kbin.social I can access Firefox. But I can't access FirefoxCSS. I waited about 90 mins since first trying. Should I just wait longer or is there some other issue?
@Firefox@fedia.io
fedia link: https://fedia.io/m/Firefox
from kbin.social: https://kbin.social/m/Firefox@fedia.io
search on kbin.social: https://kbin.social/search?q=Firefox%40fedia.io
@FirefoxCSS@fedia.io
fedia link: https://fedia.io/m/FirefoxCSS
kbin.social: https://kbin.social/m/FirefoxCSS@fedia.io "404 Not found"
search on kbin.social: https://kbin.social/search?q=FirefoxCSS%40fedia.io "Empty"
If you ever have the problem of forgetting you were writing something and closing a window, or accidentally navigating away from the page on which you are composing, this is the browser extension to save your ass: Form History Control.
Documentation: Form History Control (II)
Git repo: stephanmahieu/formhistorycontrol-2
[Firefox Addon]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/form-history-control/)
In kbin I especially have this problem as I get logged out constantly for some reason, for example while I am composing even a fairly short comment, and if I submit while logged out the text vanishes. But everything is stored in the extension. It is local to your machine where it will be secure.
I am using it for a year or two now and it has been flawless. It doesn't cause any slowdown in browser performance. It is unnoticeable until that moment you need it.

On desktop, I was trying to figure out how to get from the notifications list ( https://kbin.social/settings/notifications ) to the specific comment.
It just links to the top of the thread and I have to ctrl-F
for my handle. Which doesn't work easily on long threads or nested comments.
The link in notifications includes an anchor, for example #entry-comment-612642
.
If I find the comment and click more
> share URL
, I get the same anchor link, which also just links to the top of the thread, example: https://kbin.social/m/reddit@lemmy.world/t/152720/r-BotDefense-is-shutting-down-I-hope-Reddit-likes-spam-and#entry-comment-612642
If I click more
> copy URL to fediverse
, I get a correctly working link on the commenter's home instance: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/768070
Edited out an idea for a workaround which actually doesn't work. And edited the title to remove reference to this.
I am always being logged out of kbin on desktop and mobile PWA.
On desktop, using firefox, if I stop using the site for 10-20 minutes, even if the active tab is open with it, I am logged out. Is this normal expected behavior or might I have some setting or addon which is creating this?
I have given kbin an exception to the rule of purging cookies between sessions in case somehow that was the issue. No change.
Never encountered this before.
Anyone else with same issue? Or no?
