Unmoderated and now extremely delayed federation - is it time to move?
  • @Seraph According to https://status.lemm.ee the federation is not receiving data on real time from any kbin or mbin instance. I am following kbinmeta there and the most recent post is from three days ago. Fedia and kbin.run (both mbin) looks like two weeks ago is the earliest.

    Edit: Looks like ot took about 21 hours for a kbin post to hit lemm.ee. No comments
    ..just post. So a 21 one hour delay so far.

  • Is Ernest still here?
  • @stopthatgirl7 Same. I poked around beehaw a bit, but I am not sure its is good fit for me. Think I will check out lemmy.world, they seem to be really communicative on mastodon during their upgrade process.

    But that's all I know about it. I am looking into mbin,too...but I really don't much about it.

    I have been spending most of my social media time on mastodon lately.

    @PugJesus @Oofnik

  • Federation Delays
  • @HarkMahlberg Curious what other platforms, if you don't mind me asking?

    @roguetrick

  • Federation Delays
  • @Maestro Really good to know!! Thanks for the heads up.

    @roguetrick @s0ckpuppet @stopthatgirl7

  • Federation Delays
  • @stopthatgirl7 Agreed. I have been using Beehaw more and more as a "test". But I am not sure where I will land in the end though.

  • Federation Delays
  • @HarkMahlberg I did the same thing since I am not sure of the longevity of kbin.

    @roguetrick

  • Federation Delays
  • @roguetrick I really like kbin and want it to succeed, but between the outages, spam, and errors it is really difficult to use.

    I have accounts on beehaw, mastodon, and pixelfed. I am open to other suggestions, but once I find a "home" (on kbin or otherwise) I will delete the others.

It underwent a period of brightening, increasing in luminosity to a million suns, just as if it was ready to explode into a supernova. But then it faded rather than exploding. And when astronomers tried to see the star using the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), Hubble and the Spitzer space telescope, they couldn't see anything.

  • 6x Tougher Than Kevlar: Spider Silk Is Spun by Genetically Modified Silkworms for the First Time
  • @Gordon_Freeman As of 2019:

    Well, all went a bit quiet. Partly because the Montreal-based company leading the way, Nexia Biotechnologies, a company spun out of McGill University, swiftly went bust and sold its two GM goats — Sugar and Spice — to the Canada Agriculture Museum in Ottawa, which in 2013 removed its genetically-engineered goats from display amid public pressure.

    Quiet momentum continues, however, under Dr Randy Lewis of Utah State University and his team. Though he is unaware of the whereabouts of Sugar and Spice today, his lab looks after over twenty goats capable of producing silky milk.

  • How often do you read fiction and how do you manage to do it?
  • @EdenRester I try to set a reading schedule. Nothing prolific, just some time where I can sit down uninterrupted and read. It is usually later in the evening, after the day has calmed down a bit. Sometimes in that time box, I knock out several chapters of a book. Other times, I can barely get through a few pages.

  • Just Curious: How long does it take for a kbin post to reach mastodon?
  • @Arotrios Interestingly enough, I can see my kbin posts in Mastodon as https://mastodon.social/@readbeanicecream@kbin.social, but it seems that those posts do not appear in my Mastodon timeline under the hashtags that I follow. For example, if I post something that includes #nasa, I do not see that post in Mastodon under #nasa. However, I do see it as a post under https://mastodon.social/@readbeanicecream@kbin.social.

    I guess I am still just learning how it all works.
