In case you haven't seen it yet, I've compiled a fairly sizeable list of focused instances. More would be cool, but there's a fair number to check out already.

The kbin software doesn't yet support having multiple admins per instance, so that's the main blocker AFAIK.

I see your test posts on your profile. Try the workaround that I suggested above?

Gotcha. On my end I haven't blocked any domains, so I've just been experiencing the sorting bug.

You're perhaps not wrong about the choice of community, especially after the hexbear fiasco. OP isn't an ML though, they're an anarchist.

A big problem i see liberals having when trying to change the minds of both leftists and conservatives, is an inability to even consider any aspect of another’s perspective, and a belief in one’s own perceptions as objective reality. In doing so, they will argue against their perception of others beliefs, rather than actually discussing and finding what those beliefs are, or where those beliefs come from.

I've noticed this a lot, but mainly on the internet, especially with people that I have either a more distant social connection with or none whatsoever. It's especially visible when talking about guns, since that's a subject where the average conservative is significantly more well-informed than the average liberal (I say this as a leftist, not a conservative). The liberals that engage in these arguments seem to be fully convinced that they are in fact more informed, even though they tend to have an active aversion to guns, rather than an interest that would motivate them to learn more.

In-person results are better. There's a level of politeness that comes with interacting face to face, plus some level of mutual respect and trust that comes with social connections. I've managed to significantly shift the opinions of a number of my friends on the subject. I could be in a bit of a left libertarian-leaning bubble, though. The current cultural climate is probably also significant. The threat of an active fascist movement in the US is a pretty decent motivator. A very large portion of liberal internet commentators seem to be unmoved, though.

What seems to be happening is that your post is being sorted incorrectly in the default "hot" view. This was also happening when I first joined kbin, albeit without the error page when posting. Your "logged out" image shows the "newest" sort order, however.

The workaround is to immediately go back to the magazine's main page after posting and switch to the "newest" sort order. Your post should then show up at the top. Upvote your own post, and then it should appear correctly at or near the top of the default "hot" view.

It sounds like you might be having some overlapping issues. Since the "error on post" thing started happening, I've noticed that new posts won't show up in the default "hot" ordering. I assume that this is a sorting bug and they show up at the bottom of it. This was also happening when I first joined kbin, although the error page on post thing wasn't happening then.

The workaround seems to be to go back to the magazine's main page after posting, and sort by "new". Your post should then show up at the top. Upvote your own post, and then when you go back to the default "hot" ordering it should show up at or near the top, as normal.

Hopefully this fixes at least one of those issues. Good luck with everything.

Did you read the article?

Is OP preaching s BCH storyline, or perhaps is OP someother altcoin proponent?

Absolutely not.

It's not "the official futurology instance", it's "the official r/futurology instance":

This is a sibling community to r/futurology on Reddit, set up and moderated by the same people.

There might just be a lag on it? When I changed the sidebar on my magazine a few days ago it didn't change on the lemmy side. Just checked back now and it's updated.

Kbin apparently federates upvotes but not downvotes. I guess it's an attempt to be polite? Kinda frustrating though.
