The real galaxy brain is you, a kbin user, posting a meme about kbin, on a lemmy magazine.

Zyratoxx@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

That's because more people follow the lemmy version of memes than the kbin version

Now I have to login to Mastodon to post a meme about Misskey (fediverse microblog system, primarily used by Japanese Twitter refugees, mainly smaller artists).

@Zyratoxx wait, is this a Kbin thread right now? Am I posting to a thread from Mastodon?

Yes, you have replied to a thread on kbin. At least, I assume it shows up in kbin. I'm actually replying from Lemmy right now. The fediverse is beautiful.

Yup, I posted this from Kbin, on a Lemmy instance and afaik Mastodon users (Idk how they call themselves) can also see them and react as long as they all federate. Please correct me if I'm wrong ^-^

[Edit:] I didn't scroll to see this was already resolved

@Zyratoxx I knew they all federated, but it's so seamless it's surprising. Just not used to that kind of functionality!

Zyratoxx@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

I agree, it's pretty awesome :D

@petrescatraian My pleasure. Always fun to spread good vibes :D

@Zyratoxx indeed, for everyone, haha

Oh, thats why my rep is only going down. I hope they will think about this, because it makes no sense whatsoever.

Barbarian@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 3y (4 replies)

I have a suspicion this is because they recently swapped boosts and upvotes to play nicer with the wider fediverse, but they didn't update the reputation system to match

Alexmitter@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y (3 replies)

I certainly hope that. Right now I do not care that I am deeply into minus reps while having lots of upvotes, but when magazins/communities start to lock out accounts from interacting until they have certain rep, it won't be as good.

I'm really confused. Is this like reddit's karma system? I hope not. I never like the karma system.

Zyratoxx@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

It should be, but currently people are farming negative reputation (karma) because downvotes generate negative rep but only boosts (which is like retweeting/crossposting to your profile) generate positive rep

What's even happening at this point?

Zyratoxx@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Yup, at least here on kbin, you've got reputation, and it's even positive: congrats
