Welcome, don’t be scared of asking something!
What’s the best way to get rid of a body… theoretically?
Own a pig farm.
Apparently they go through bone like buttah!
Be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm!
@GreenPlasticSushiGrass Sound advice for those of us venturing back into the dating scene…
what about women owning pig farms?
This is the correct answer…I’ve heard…
Take my shameless upvote
Didn’t work out for Robert Pickton, still got caught.
I give no guarantees about your ability to dodge the law.
Microwave fish at the office.
Not sure this tracks… but I laughed
I wasn’t sure it would land so thank you haha
theoretically
I got scared until you said this, ofc any question is fine as long as it is hypothetical.
Pigs or acid!
Why not both. Pigs on Acid.
You gotta starve the pigs for a few days then the sight of a chopped up body would look like curry to a pissant. You gotta shave the head of your victim and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggy’s digestion. You could do this afterwards of course but you don’t wanna go sifting through pig shit now do ya? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to do the job in one sitting so be weary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs two-hundred pounds in about…eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of un-cooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression: “as greedy as a pig.”
Put them in a freshly dug grave. Nobody will think of looking there.
For some reason, the priest giving our marriage preparation classes thought it was necessary to share this unsolicited fact.
I’m a bit confused, started using Lemmy earlier this month, made an account so I can subscribe to communities that interest me, still figuring it out a bit. What is kbin? Thanks!
Kbin is another federated instance on the verse just like Lemmy, it just has a different UI. I’m browsing this thread and commenting through kbin right now, we can all interact with the same posts :)
I’m on VLemmy! 👋
Another way to look at it is like different flavors or the same operating systems like Linux with kde vs gnome. Or if you’re not a computer buff, Windows 10 or Windows 11. More or less…
My favorite analogy is email- it doesn’t matter if you have @gmail, @outlook, or even disgusting ones like @yahoo or @hotmail, you can send and receive emails using the same protocols between any of them.
Also on Vlemmy 👋
Thats a good way of explaining it.
kbin.social is like lemmy.world, etc… It’s another instance (though maybe/probably there are other technical differences I don’t understand). I am speaking to you from kbin right now. It’s magic, you see.
Kbin is a different software from Lemmy but both use activitypub and so can communicate to each other with little issue
Kbin is a separate application that is like lemmy and they can communicate with each other, as in view each other’s content.
You are participating on a kbin thread right now, kbin is basically another lemmy but because they speak the same language we can communicate.
Think about email in comparison to for example Facebook. On Facebook, the content and the platform are to sides of the same coin: the two cannot be separated. In email, on the other hand, the two are separate: the content (emails) is separate from the provider (Google, Protonmail, or some old laptop with an internet connection functioning as a server). Emails can be sent between the different platforms, as it is based on a protocol that exists independently of the providers.
Lemmy is the same way. In the example above, Lemmy is a piece of software you could install on your old laptop (or other people can install on hopefully more sophisticated servers) in order to communicate with other services. That’s why Lemmy can be found on multiple websites (lemmy.world or beehaw.org, among others). Just like in email however, the protocol is separate: the protocol Lemmy runs on is called ActivityPub, and works with not only Lemmy, but also other software. Mastodon is the most famous; kbin is another.
Like Lemmy, kbin is a client for ActivityPub that is made to function a lot like Reddit. It is developed completely separately, but according to similar logics: I saw your message in kbin and am responding to it from there, and when I upvoted your post you recieved an upvote in your Lemmy. It’s similar to if you are using Outlook and I am using Gmail: I can still send you an email and communicate effortlessly across the two services.
The difference between kbin and Lemmy is mostly in user experience. Both projects are work in progress, development is happening fast, and they have both seen an explosion in the number of users the last few days. Content spreads between both freely, so the choice between them is really mostly about user interface preferences. It will be fun to see how both projects develop.
If you look at the links by each post, you’ll notice that some will reference a URL that goes off of your local instance. In Lemmy these are icons, in kbin it appears from the “more” link. Sometimes it’s unclear who/where I’m interacting with and examining the URL helps me get some idea of it. In federated social media different instances often develop a different subculture, but since they can access each other you have more dimensions of interaction and how to behave.

Is 42 the answer?
Why does every reply prepend the username of the person you’re replying to?
Also, is there a way to collapse comments?
Only if you are in the Microblog tab, since it treats every post as something more akin to a tweet. However it shouldn’t show up on the Threads tab.
Also, you can’t collapse comments at the moment, however the feature is being developed.There are a lot of customizations out in the wild provided as CSS scripts to install with Stylus or JS scripts to install with a monkey plugin.
I’m using this plugin for collapsible comments everywhere right now. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468923-kbin-improved-collapsible-comments
Cool! Thanks!
Not OP but what’s the proper way to link another community, like r/NAME on reddit…?
I see people in these replies using @ but I think some people use !
Assuming you are on a lemmy instance you link them like
!communityname@instance.domain
Why do I see pending sub while trying to sub?
Seems to be a bug with Lemmy, if you click the sub button multiple times it should eventually subscribe
What’s Reddit? /jk but Kbin is so nice. I am actually having conversations with people instead of just post that seem to exist in a weird void.
I’m not quite having conversations, but I’m posting comments on the internet for the first time in years.
Same boat! The last 5 years of my Reddit usage was 100% anonymous, sign out out of any account using the Apollo app. But when I joined the fediverse, something about it got me back into the swing of posting and voting.
My last 11 years was mostly anonymous. Feels great to share ideas again.
Same thing here. It’s also bled over to Mastodon for me and it’s been quite an enjoyable experience.
I really like the UI kbin has. Don’t have to worry about old.reddit being removed one day either.
Right? I liked reddit, but old.reddit was imperfect at best, and needed RES. New reddit was always an unusable hot mess. Kbin is like three weeks old and it’s already better than both ever were.
Hi. Welcome to kbin. There is a bit of a learning curve. There is a bit of jank, but to be honest? You made the right call.
For some reason the jank seems better than the reddit. I should send that CEO guy a thank you card because I wouldn’t have gotten the motivation to try other things without his changes.
* Waves vigorously *
Try not to get overwhelmed by things here. There’s an added layer of complexity that exists, due to the space being made up of a whole bunch of different websites, but you’ll grok it in time if you just absorb things slowly.
Things are still new around here. kbin itself is still in early beta. There are kinks to work out. But everything’s in active development, and things will get polished :)
boom. eat shit spez
Hello from Lemmy!

Star Trek was right all along!
“I’m doing my part”
So say we all.
I moved over a little more than a week ago and honestly the improvements here have already come a long way. I am really enjoying it and have zero issue fully replacing Reddit with the Fediverse.
Hell ya
Here’s a fake award for your post since I’m not buying fake awards from The Flaming Alien anymore 🏆
Lemmy Silver lol
Here’s one from me! 🏆
🏆
Here’s an award for your comment 🏆
For me, Lemmy is the girl in blue. But I prefer browsing Lemmy communities through kbin. So I’m still loyal.
Excellent use of these meme. That is all.
oldie but goodie
You’re now closer to 2050 than you are to 1990, fyi!
Hey you, shut up lol
Welcome! Make yourself at home :)
Who’s downvoting this lol
Like it’s getting hard ratio’d because it’s a good meme, but I’m curious as to why 13 people (so far?) are upset about it.
Lemmy people, most likely
I’m a Lemmy user and I’m okay with Kbin getting the majority of users, as long as we’re able to federate with each other it doesn’t really matter where the new people go
Imagine complaining about which interface people choose to interact with the same content pool with. That’s like the main reason the fediverse has exploded in popularity over these last few weeks. Sheesh.
I think that’s just the internet. I think some people just go through their feed downvoting everything.
Hell yeah! Welcome aboard!
