Is the kbin project completely dead?

the repo has nothing going on

the kbin.social website partly loads with error

did it just evaporate? or what?

    I think it’s also worth highlighting how PieFed interactions with other fediverse services. Both a.gup.pe groups and PeerTube channels integrate super well, and you can follow them like any other community.

    In practice, this means that content from technology content creators posted on PeerTube will appear directly within the technology topic; videos posted to flipboard.video are pushed directly to the fediverse topic. Discussions and upvotes are, of course, federated directly to PeerTube.

    As I love the potential of PeerTube but find it lacking in discoverability, this is something I really love.

      a.gup.pe groups

      Guppe groups look like regular users you can interact with using your existing account on any ActivityPub service, but they automatically share anything you send them with all of their followers.

      1. Follow a group on @a.gup.pe to join that group
      2. Mention a group on @a.gup.pe to share a post with everyone in the group
      3. New groups are created on demand, just search for or mention @[email protected] and it will show up
      4. Visit a @a.gup.pe group profile to see the group history

      is this like a hashtag?

        I guess the main difference is that once you tag a.gup.pe, your post gets relayed to all followers of the group - independent of whether they are already federated with you. So kind of like hashtags, but it allows content to travel further.

      I am glad to see this level of interactivity. At the same time, I hope it doesn’t try to do too much at once - like trying to be all things to all people holding it back too much from moving forward in any one lane, if that makes sense?

      On the other hand, the developer can do whatever they want, so I totally get working on the exciting stuff, especially if they (unlike Ernst) are amenable to allowing others to flesh in the details for the stuff that they enjoy less.

      Wow, the more I learn about it, the more exciting it seems!? Thanks for sharing that.:-)
