US-licensed lawyer, pursuing criminal defence practice in Metro Vancouver, BC. He/him.
I had the same experience with OSM maps years ago, but you've convinced me to give it another chance. I'm looking forward to seeing if it handles public transport in Vancouver as well as Google Maps does.
Proposed class-action lawsuit filed against city hall, Vancouver Coastal Health and a non-profit, alleging mismanagement of area overdose prevention site.
I'm not particularly concerned with how "the kbin user base" looks or any silly tribalism like that tbh. I'm just wondering if/why the issue might be happening. If the string doesn't appear in the git repo, that's a useful data point for sure. But plenty of people are confirming that something is going on, so the questions as to 1) what is causing it and 2) why are still out there.
Is lemmy.ml partially blocking /kbin instances?
A post on kbinMeta states that "Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances." More details here, but the theory is that -- rather than defederating -- lemmy.ml returns a 403 'access denied' message in response to any inbound requests from a user agent with "kbinBot" in the string. Upvotes, comments, and boosts don't seem to be going through. However, it appears that lemmy.ml still federates information outbound to kbin instances.
I'm wondering if anyone here knows what is going on and why it might be happening? Federation between Lemmy instances and Kbin instances seems to be a selling point for both, so I'm sure others using both services are curious as to what's going on.
Lee's is basically the sweet spot of flavour vs affordability for me. I can't speak to Cartem's, I don't have the money to justify the cost.

Reddit CEO slams protesters as "landed gentry," says he'll change site rules
Steve Huffman, the Reddit CEO, told NBC News in an interview that a user protest on the site this week is led by a minority of moderators and doesn’t have wide support.

Be the change you want to see in the world.
(I'm partly kidding -- there are a ton of communities I'd like to see carry over from Reddit to here, but I don't bother because I don't have bandwidth to be a mod. So I get it. But if you have time, feel free to make the communities yourself!)

Proposed 80-storey building near Lougheed Town Centre passes Burnaby council's 3rd reading
As Burnaby approves taller and taller condo towers, the parking gets deeper and deeper. “It’ll take 10 minutes just for somebody to park their car,” said a city councillor.
