Good on KDE and Valve for just doing HDR and bypassing the wayland people who have just sat on the PR for 3 years: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/4589 ; https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/14

Alien: isolation - its okay, I just keep getting lost lol

Pixelfed just implemented an instagram import feature as well!

there aren’t that many kbin instances out there

This is also due to its age, its only 2 years old and only just recently gained more than 1 contributor to its codebase. When the reddit migration started about 2 weeks ago, kbin considered itself still in alpha; with lemmy in beta. As the software matures, more instances will pop-up as admins gain confidence in it.

Both kbin and lemmy utilize parts of the activitypub protocol - a generic way for different social media sites to talk to one another - to make a reddit-like functionality. This means that regardless of whether you are on a server which uses lemmy or kbin, they can access and use each other. The only real difference for users is going to be the UI and that kbin has also used activitypub to give its users some dedicated mircoblogging capabilities (think mastodon). My advice is: if you are only interested in a reddit-like experience then use the one with the UI and community you perfer, but if you want an all-in-one account (and are okay with the added complexity that comes with) kbin is closer to what you want.

Does anyone know of a person tracking these updates for both open source art generators and LLMs? Like I am following a few people and they are all just lists of the corprate made tools being built on top of these things.

I would also suggest starting communities! The bystander effect is strong, dont worry about things too much right now as everything is still relatively small.

It seems simliar to how reddit handles it where the comments just get a flag attached to them and the text is still stored. There was some hubbaloo about it a few years ago where people were saying to edit your comments first on reddit before deleting them

To get these in front of the devs, you could open an issue in the lemmy-ui repo: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues

Oh, yeah I guess that would be an instance admin thing cause mine has a whole bunch in that settings box. Let them know that “undetermined” needs to be included as an selectable language.

On the web interface, go to your account settings and out of all the languages selected; ensure that “undefined” is one of them. You can select multiple languages by holding down the “control” key and clicking. For example, right now I have both “english” and “undefined” as the languages I use.
