I hope Ernest gets well soon and can pass through all of these stuff, but I must add one point to this:
And finally, I really suggest getting some more admins for the instance.
And, as important as this, letting more people help with Kbin development.
It's impossible to maintain the code and develop new features, while dealing with all his personal life problems (which of course are a priority) and maintaining the instance all at once and almost alone.
Why not getting some help? I know that Ernest already said he has a problem trusting people, but come on, it's visible that this approach is not working and it’s not benefiting anyone.

Lights out and Kindle with the lowest luminosity posible. I can't barely read 10 pages.

So you can manually put your laundry inside it, go to your bed and tell the machine to wash it like you didn't had to get up to put your laundry inside it.

Of course, that's a good reminder! But according to my dog's vet, it shouldn't be a problem if done cautious, not frequently, not going deep and with a gauze around your finger. She do it sometimes including to see if there's anything causing the itch by the color left on the gauze.
EDIT: I'm not a vet, so if I'm wrong, someone please correct me! Just saying this according to what my dog's vet said.

For sure guinea pigs would evolve into capybaras
It's deeply pleasuring to scratch inside your ears and of course dogs can't do it. Probably anyone would accept to be domesticated just to feel this pleasure too!

Since you mentioned "forum days", I'm still wondering when did we decided we should get rid of those blinking gifs with our usernames we used as a signature for every post! I hate them, but I also miss them...

Oh, I tried to say that I can see and even follow this Threads account, so probably Kbin is still federated! Sorry if it wasn't clear
mizzyc 9mo ago • 100%
Well, if you're right, Kbin looks to not have defederated Threads
mizzyc 9mo ago • 100%
Is there any way for me to know if a Kbin instance also blocked Threads?

I had the same thoughts when my dentist suggested it, but fortunately nowadays we have more choices for doing it.
I don't know where you live and how much you can expend in it, but I've decided to use these removable invisible aligners (like Invisalign) and had no regrets. They're faster to do their job, more trustable to get the alignment you need and, well, they're not too visible as regular braces.
As other people said, correcting your teeth is something you will enjoy for the rest of your life. So, if you can afford invisible aligners and can follow their instructions (like using them for 20h per day, regularly brushing your teeth etc), I totally recommend going this way.
Besides what method you'll choose, remember that everyone of them is temporary and you'll be really happy with the results in the near future. I get the concern about what other people will think, but you should remember you're doing something for you and to feel happier with yourself! :)

That's exactly my point, specially because when I started making my daily planner for work it helped a lot with my ADHD, so the point is to find something to help even more! Thank you very much!

Kind of confused by wanting handwriting recognition while not using a pen? Are you writing with your finger?
Hahahaha you have a good point and I'm sorry I didn't explained that before! For now, yes, I'm writing with my finger!
I'm taking a look to see if I'll get used to taking notes and planning my day with my tablet before expending money in a pen that I'd only use for this.
Also, thanks for the recommendation! I tried Good Notes but I think the handwriting recognition is a paid feature. I will take a look if there's a trial!
So I'm willing to replace my physical notebook for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 5, but I'm having trouble finding the exactly app for me. I need a note taking app with basically 2 features: 1. Convert handwrite to text 2. Ability to select the page background (I want to use a daily template that I've already made) I doesn't expect it to be free, but it would be nice for an app that, at least, offer a free trial. And it'd be nice if it could sync between devices, specially with my Mac. Any suggestions? \-- EDIT: I saw a lot of people telling about Samsung Notes, but the handwrite to text conversion simply doesn't exist for me. I think it's probably because I'm (still) not using a pen. Another option would be using the Gboard handwriting feature, but I didn't get used to it. I prefer writing directly at the place that the text needs to be.

Oh, thanks for showing the other side! Like always, things are not just black and white.
I have never heard about Melroy before, but I was scared by the last comment. It's nice to hear that there are nice people working on this branch :)

That makes sense!
For my basic knowledge working side by side with a lot of devs, I totally agree with the way Ernest thinks. It's essential for a product that's growing up to have a solid core that will not need to be rewrote in the near future.
But also, as an user, I keep wishing we could see more features, like the API for mobile apps.
I mean, besides what Ernest and Melroy thinks that's the right way, there's also what the users need, what the users want and what the project needs to escalate (new features vs core rewriting). And probably there's not a right answer for that.

Honest question: what's the reason to make a fork instead of contributing do kbin itself?
mizzyc 10mo ago • 100%
Thanks for explaining!
Now I know it's almost like they're asking for me to uninstall their app!

Same here! Many years ago I paid for a lifetime subscription and I really don't regret it (but only because it was an one-time payment for life).

Watch out, he's going to virtually punch you until you upvote his comment, like a real man would do
After some time missing an app, I managed to really like Kbin even on my browser, specially with some mods (my favourites are [Kbin Usability Pack](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469597-kbin-usability-pack) and [Kbin Subscriptions Panel](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469139-kbin-subscriptions-panel)), but I really miss notifications for interactions on my posts and comments. I think that this would almost solve my problem of don't having an app. Does anyone else feel the same?
I've noticed that Kbin turns gray the title of the posts that I've already clicked, but it'd be nice if I could just hide the ones I already saw, keeping my "Hot" section always fresh with new content. Is there any script that can do this?
I saw that the test instances have some nice new features that are not still released for kbin.social. So I was thinking that it'd be nice to know when things are being updated here and what have changed. Is there any place I can see this?
I know that we NEED more content at Kbin, Lemmy and all the Fediverse in order for them to grow and substitute Reddit and other networks, but sometimes I just feel really happy that I can open my app and read almost everything that was posted in the last few hours without being suffocated by a billion of new posts. It controls my anxiety, helps me keep up to date and even makes me want to search for new content and post/interact more. EDIT: For example, at Instagram, there's so much content being posted every second, that I never spend more than 5 minutes with the app open.
I already understood that, for now, the Kbin upvote not really upvote a post/comment and to do so, I need to boost it. But, how do Lemmy (and possibly other sites from Fediverse) deal with this difference? For example: If I boost a Lemmy post in Kbin, it'll count as an upvote on Lemmy? Or do I need to upvote it when it's a cross-post from another Fediverse? And how does Lemmy understand a boost in post at Kbin? Also, if someone at Lemmy upvote my post in Kbin, it'll count as an upvote or as a boost?
