This is great to see. Like it or not, their voices carry much further than most of ours.
Hi all and welcome to kbin and m/ethfinance, our temporary-and-maybe-someday-more home while reddit learns its lesson.
I didn't get a chance to reply to everyone in the previous thread, but I did read. Please feel free to ask me any questions about kbin, Lemmy, the fediverse, and I'll try to answer. I've spent quite a few days now exploring it. I also encourage fediverse users to chime in, whether it's from Mastodon experience or somewhere else.
The dev (@[email protected]) is lovely, responsive, and working hard right now. Feel free to chip in with suggestions at m/kbinmeta or if you have web dev experience, maybe consider reaching out directly to help.
No doubt you're all noticing kbin is slow. It's good to remember that the beauty of federated (decentralized) servers is also in the initial brutality. Servers can be run by anyone (great!) but servers must be run by someone (oof). Ernest is one guy, spinning up a server for refugees of a global conglomerate. It's partly why I tried -- and will keep trying -- to open a server of our own.
I'd encourage everyone to have a little patience, be extra kind and gracious, and at worst, take a little time away from the screen if it's crawling. They're planning a large infrastructure change next week. In the meantime, try to enjoy the brave new world here. We haven't had a truly "new" website to explore in many years. It's kinda exciting!
Now back to the memes, lines, and triangles.
Thank you, kbrot, for sheltering us here while Reddit goes all evil corp on us. Or do I need to write /u/kbrot to ping you?
I have a couple of unimportant and non-ETH related questions -
- How do I set up a profile picture? I went to “Profile” but I don’t see where to set it up (on mobile if that matters).
- I turned on “Infinite scrolling” in the Settings but the daily still paginates at the bottom (i.e., I have to click on the next page number). How do I change that?
It’s weird feeling like a helpless newb all over again.
Anybody else bought an Autominter PRO Pass when they released? I've lost sight of that project after attempting to sell the $AMR tokens airdropped from having the pass, and finding out they were locked for an undetermined amount of time. Was it all just a slow rug?
Did we buy them or did we get them free for holding EVMs and just have to pay gas...? I don't quite remember. Anyway I think the purpose of them is as an unlock for the premium features of Autominter (stuff like bulk airdrops and custom prices for different whitelists), so if you want to do an NFT project like the Pandas or Owls or whatever then they are probably pretty useful, but if you never intend to do anything like that then I'm not sure they have much reason to be valuable.
