yeah exactly. On mbin it works this way and lemmy inserting the link breaks that. But it does it for communities in the community description sometime as well, though I don’t know if it is just a user “error” or a lemmy error

Yes they are, but you have my profile on your server and you do not need to leave the server to view my profile… @ user @ lemmy.instance should link to https:// mbin.instance/u/@user@lemmy.instance and not to https:// lemmy.instance/u/user

Actually that behaviour is very annoying to other platforms. Mbin for example can only link to the lemmy server this user is on and no longer the local profile of that user. Example: @ user @ lemmy.instance gets converted to [@ user @ lemmy.instance](https:// lemmy.instance/u/user so on mbin this does not open the profile of the user on the local server, but instead links the lemmy instance, so you leave your instance to view the profile.

(spaces included so this won’t get converted to mentions, etc)

iodéOS here and I can’t find it on my phone either (yes I looked at the system apps)

I wouldnt say that. however setting uo your own mail server is a lot of work, as you have to abide a lot of “security” rules (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, rDNS). Additionally some hosters reuire you to apply for port 25 to be unblocked (e.g. hetzner)

On my instance I am the owner and moderator of every remote magazine, so basically all of them. I already created an Issue on Coderberg about this: #243 and ernest has an additional issue open #12

yeah I got matrix only for that.
Yeah I am :-)

just FYI there is steamdeck magazine on kbin: @Steamdeck

If you have issues, feel free to @ me. I don’t have a answer for everything, but I know of a couple of common mistakes.
And the matrix chat is relatively active

The main problem is that you have to do a lot learning by doing, because there are not clear instructions…
Other than the setup I’d say there is no clear drawback to hosting it yourself. I guess its even better than hosting something like mastodon yourself, because the content you want to get is already grouped in communities and you don’t have the annoyingly long discovery phase one has when starting a mastodon server

The main problems are the headaches you get while setting it up. Kbin is not in a state where you can just run a script and it works.

I am just happy that I am not there so my popcorn doesn’t burn, but pop as it burns away like twitter is🍿

I’ve spun up a new kbin instance and have no problem pulling magazines from <lemmy.ml> or <kbin.social>

I am not sure, but I think they are basically hashtags. Not sure though

Content will only be forwarded after the first person on an instance subscribes to something.
So you will only see posts in a remote magazine that were made after the first person on your instance subscribed to the magazine.

I mean just look at mastodon and how omnipresent the mascot is. It would be relly great if Kbin had one, too. Sadly I am neigher an artist nor super creative when it comes to this stuff
