It’s not 3rd party app developers fault that kbin didn’t have any stable api yet. Now that they fast track the api development, I think we can expect more 3rd party apps coming soon.

Revolt!? That dog is fucking embrace it!
As the CEO of a company that run several major social networks, he know the importance of privacy and choose to use a virtual background.
uBlock Origin is already less effective when running in Chrome than in Firefox. For example, it can’t detect CNAME cloaking on Chrome, while it can do that in Firefox. When Chrome finally enforce manifest V3, uBlock Origin will be even more neutered in chrome due to limited number of blocking rules.
I got curious so I start digging into how mastodon do it. It’s more like a hack, really. Mastodon uses WebFinger to resolve user account, so when you change domain, you can leave the old domain up so your federated servers can still resolve your users and realized the domain has been changed and update their federation data. But it turns out you can’t exactly retire the old domain either because it’s still tied to user account internally. So if you lose control of your old domain, you’re probably as screwed as fmhy.ml.
I’d like to think FMHY was true to their name and didn’t pay for the domain.
.ee is owned by Estonia. Just pray Estonia wouldn’t do the same shenanigan and cause your instance to go down.
Who know deleting a power user account could DDOS the entire federation?
At least for Lemmy, you can “force” it to sync a particular post or comment by pasting the url into your instance’s search bar.
It has happened before with the .ly domains about a year before the US invasion of Libya. Tech companies were scrambling to find a solution back then. Presumably they struck a backroom deal with the Syrian government.
Heck, I haven’t been able to get a comment deleted in ALL instances so far. Instances that don’t directly federate with my instance doesn’t seem to process deletion reliably.
Interestingly, edits seem to propagate more reliably. So if you want to make sure your comment deleted, just edit it to replace the content before actually deleting them.
You can enable it from settings -> remote control in SmartTube app. Also, if you’re using YouTube revanced, the cast button might be hidden because it was not functional. You can re-enable the cast button on YouTube revanced from revanced settings.
When casting a video, you’ll have to open the SmartTube app in your Android TV first because it’s not automatically launched when you hit the cast button in YouTube revanced. If it’s in the background or not yet running, the video won’t play.
Even worse, the free .ml domain is not actually yours when you get it for free, but actually owned by the company that previously managed the .ml domain. I suspect Mali government has reclaimed all those free domain registrations now that the contract with the company has been expired. The .ml domains that still up was probably paid domain and Mali government are probably still honoring the contract.
The problem is with the federation. Other instances will try to federate with the old domain and won’t recognize the new domain. Simply changing your domain will not update federation in other instances. AFAIK work is still underway to allow migrating to a new domain and allow other instance to recognize the domain change.
Usually there is a flag to disable muted video autoplay on every major browsers: https://www.technipages.com/turn-off-video-autoplay-firefox-chrome/
Safari has it too: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/stop-autoplay-videos-ibrw29c6ecf8/mac
You might still buy your old .ml domain once Mali government open up registration again, assuming domain squatters doesn’t grab it first.
Afaik mastodon has a way for instances to migrate to a new domain, but the old domain must be up during the migration process. Lemmy on the other hand don’t even have any domain migration procedure yet. People will probably go nuts about this on their GitHub issues portal.
Eh, you can self host your name system though. OpenNIC does exactly that. The problem is convincing other people to use your resolver instead of using ICANN.
If you add support for kbin, you’ll probably going to add support for kbin’s microblogging feature. If you added support for kbin’s microblogging, might as well add mastodon support. Heck, might as well add pixelfed support to the mix, why not? Voila, now you have a super federated app.
