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)

Well I did set one up today and the mails land in the spam folder for GMX, GMail and Microsoft (@live.de), although I set up SPF, rDNS, and DKIM. I have to take a look at how to setup DMARC, beacause my domain hoster doesn’t allow free configuration of the TXT entries, you have to use templates and there isn’t one for DMARC

I am using it too and I love it. I only know source tree as a competitor and in comparision it sucks…

You dont have to pay for it, even when using it comercially (unpess they changed that)

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🍿

The rest of the post sounds a lot better trust me. I at first rhought he is only insulting kbin amd lemmy 😅

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

sehe ich genau so. Es kommen einfach junge Erwachsene dazu die ziemlich sicher nicht CDU wählen werden. Warum zur Hölle so viele von denen die FDP wählen erschließt sich mir allerdings auch nicht

Aber wenn alle 3 zumindest Ansatzweise linken Parteien bei dir unwählbar sind, was wählst du denn dann?

Ich bin bei weitem auch nicht glücklich mit dem was die Grünen machen, aber jede andere Partei hätte es noch schlimmer genacht. Unter einem Haufen von schlechten Optionen sind die Grünen für mich momentan einfach die, die am wenigsten scheiße sind…

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
