The boosts tab in my profile is filling with things I haven't boosted. I know I've mistakenly tapped on some buttons on mobile, but even unboosting things doesn't remove them. I tested with this thread by boosting and unboosting, and it's now permanently in my boosts tab. Even a comment I accidentally reduced and unreduced is in that tab. I don't understand why. I'm brand new to kbin so maybe I'm doing something wrong or unaware of something.
Same here; I change my mind about upvotes/downvotes all the time (especially since I have the terrible habit of voting while I'm still reading the comment), but the ones I've done that for are still there. Heck, the first couple I see when I look at my profile are ones I did that for. Read half the comment, upvoted out of the corner of my eye while I was still reading, read the second half, went "Hoo boy, nevermind," and un-voted.
Related to that, upvotes/downvotes being public is a dealbreaker for me. I don't feel safe upvoting or downvoting anything here unless it's completely uncontroversial, because I don't want to open myself up to harassment by people who disagree.
I'll hang around for a bit to see if that changes, but I'm very unlikely to stick around if it doesn't.
Yeah it was bothering me too but just to make people aware, someone else has reported it #47 and #152 a pr is waiting to be merged that looks to fix both issues..
Is anyone else still seeing federated posts even when you turn the federation status to off? I was trying to hide some of the excess meme posts that are coming from other servers. But turning off federation does not make all of them go away. Some federated posts are still being shown.
Maybe it's a server issue with all the new traffic but is the way to not get logged out after such short periods of time/usage? Feels like any time I attempt to interact with something on kbin I have to relog in.
Also, as someone else provided feedback on, being able to hide threads in a comment feed would be super useful. If it exists now I haven't figured.out how to do it
Is this thread monitored? Asking because, from what I observed, that federated Hexbear(dot)net users and communities don't seem to be possible to block. Or should I use the contact form?
I can't see pinned posts at the moment. It seems like I can see them if I log out. I can't seem to find a setting that would cause this that I could have changed to cause it.
Both. I'm using the site on mobile and on desktop, not an app. My settings reflect that my default feed is set to Subscribed, but it gets reset to All whenever I go back to the home page, regardless of whether I change it to Subscribed from the home page or in the settings.
It's become impossible to browse by new thanks to an army of spam bots.
Every time I sort by new, there are several new groups of 3-5 new users posting to "random" all at once (so 12-15 spam posts for every 5-10 legit posts), I haven't risked the click, but it's a lot of promises of nudes or gold, or celebrity names, you know, bait.
I'll block and report one post from each user as spam, but that seems pointless when there's a seemingly endless stream of them popping up.
This comment thread is behaving very strangely right now: comments with the same ID are showing up multiple times in different places, and I just received a notification about a reply that I don't see in the thread.
Checking "Hide Adult Content" doesn't actually seem like it blocks threads from nsfw magazines. When browsing threads by "newest", I definitely have multiple explicit pictures from explicit magazines (gfur, petplayyiff, & feralyiff?) I'm not subscribed to show up.
Yep, having this problem too. Just had NSFW magazines showing up in the Random list, plus still seeing porn showing up in search results. The "Hide Adult Content" box is definitely checked, and saved.
Just came here from reddit, so I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but anyway... Usernames when logging in are case sensitive. This should not be the case because
#1 it's very confusing (I could not figure out why my password was constantly wrong even after resetting it, until i remembered some comment from someone on reddit about case sensitive login issues on some website and tried changing the first letter of my username to lowercase, then it finally worked). I haven't seen any other website work like this.
#2 you're basically allowing people to impersonate others if user account creation thinks usernames with different capitalization are unique names.
Btw, there should be an "Add comment" or "Reply" button up top on the post. At first i thought the thread was locked since there wasn't a reply button, but then i remembered some old forums put it at the bottom of the page, so i scrolled to the bottom, still no reply button. I had to scroll back up through like 4 screens worth of useless footer clutter before i finally found a comment area. This is going to decrease engagement and growth. (I'm on mobile btw). I even tapped on the + button on top to try to add a comment but there was no option. Same with the More button on the post (though it shouldn't be hidden in a More menu since it's a core feature).
@ernest It would be handy to be able to block all magazines from an entire domain without having to check every single one as new ones are trending in the global feeds. In my case feddit.de - not because antagonism but because I don't understand German. I'd imagine this be a future issue as more language dedicated servers emerge.
My homepage is about 60% German currently so I'd like this too. It's a little frustrating and I can't seem to find any options that help except for sticking to subscribed or local.
We're experiencing so many federation issues, I think. There's much less content in the communities/magazines I subscribe to when I browse them from Kbin, and in some I only see very old posts :(
Notification issue I ran across today - a person can delete a message in a thread leaving "deleted by author" but the message still shows up in notifications (or part of it since notifications cuts them off at some point).
Quick note... some users are having issues with verifying registration if they miss the initial link. I was able to get kbin to resend mine by sending a password reset, but some users can't reproduce that. Just so you're tracking.
I can't post but I can comment. It keeps giving me the error page. Other people seem to still be able to post on Kbin - anyone have any insight into this problem?
The page to manage moderators is broken and returns 503 Service Unavailable. It has been doing this for at least a week. I'm unable to add moderators to the magazines that I created as a result and I could use some help on some of them.
Been seeing a lot of lazy spamming the past few days as I browse newest, all Kbin users. I report them, but they are numerous and it gets tedious. Maybe some tightening up of new registrations should be done? Has there been an uptick on new users lately like Lemmy had a while back?
Added: I figured out where the titles are coming from. They are lifted off search engine prompts like recent Google searches, which explains why some of them are so odd.
Maybe I don't understand but my reputation points always say negative. I did the math myself, i have lots more updoots than dislikes. Am i not understanding reputation maybe?
Sadly I haven't yet, the same think happens to me, random news videos autoplaying, even when not on screen yet. I'm fairly confident there's no setting to turn off video autoplay on kbin. Sadly even if you tell Firefox to not autoplay videos the videos continue to play, the Firefox mobile settings seem to be limited in that respect though.
I wonder if turning it of on the desktop browser site settings and then syncing will fix it.
I think this is an issue, or perhaps I'm missing something somewhere?
When I receive a reply notification and click the person's reply comment, it doesn't take me to the comment in the thread, but rather to the beginning, and I have to scroll through the conversation to find my post and the replies to it. Unless I'm doing something wrong, this is going to become problematic in large active threads.
I click on their words in the notification message (as the timestamp is not a link), the comment highlights and even shows the comment number in the link for the post, but does not take me to it, even if I right-click/open in a new tab. Someone in another thread suspects this happens once the thread/and comment moves onto the second page of the thread (but making it infinate scroll doesn't fix it either).
Awesome, yeah looking forward to this fix! I didn't notice it before cause usually there weren't many comments, but now that there are threads with hundreds of comments this fix will be super useful
This. Why?? This is a terrible user experience. I don't care if your little machine has case sensitive folders, it's bad form to have URLs be case sensitive with things users should be able to easily input (not like IDs like how YouTube does).
Two things: imgur.com images do not open when I click the preview button. Thing two, we still really need a reply box at the top of threads not bottom. Posted from Galaxy s22 using Samsung Internet browser.
Blocking a magazine does not keep it from appearing on your sidebar random thread/post feed. I blocked an NSFW mag and reloaded the page and it was still present.
I've been trying to set up my own kbin instance but without success. Is there a way to diable SSL? I'm running the instance on a raspberry pi at home behind a reverse proxy which already handles all the certificates for https. This already works great for my mastodon instance.
I tried installing the docker container and also manually but both times it expects https instead of simple http and I can't seem to find the place to change this. There's no mention of SSL in the nginx configuration file and I don't really have any experience with docker and where to change the configuration in such a container.
Weirdly enough, the manual installation seems now to work (the website is reachable) but kbin shows me a server error 500 for every site. I don't have mercure installed because I couldn't figure out how (it isn't mentioned in the kbin doc and the mercure website is not really helpful), could that be the problem?
I visited a post with 130 comments in which I participated before. None of the comments show up and I don't know why. It's not the first time that this happens. Am I doing something wrong? I'm browsing from Firefox mobile.
I am not enjoying kbin.social right now. The latency is beyond atrocious, at 10+ seconds to load each page. The UI reminds me of 2004 forums that don’t know how users work. The mobile UI is just the worst.
Some pain points:
I’m a software engineer so I can figure this shit out, but how the hell do I subscribe to a magazine? If I go to it, there should be a “subscribe” or context menu at the top to subscribe/favorite/mute. (I found it, but it's so weird on mobile to click the logo then scroll to get to the subscribe.)
Why is the comment box all the way at the bottom? Where’s the “add comment” button on a post?
Why are comments paginated like a forum? Why not just a “load more” like Reddit? What’s the point? It's not to decrease the response because you can do that with "load more" buttons.
Selecting the comment box should NOT zoom slightly into the page. The mobile web UI needs a lot of work from people who know how to do mobile UIs.
Is there no “homepage” button? Clicking the Kbin logo at the top just brings up a menu, which requires another click on the homepage button to get back. This is weird and unintuitive.
Edit: And you can't collapse comment threads? What even...
I really want a Reddit replacement, but this is not it with this terrible UI.
if you're a software engineer you should had known to make constructive comments and also most importantly realise that you are on a Non-commercial open source one-man-project. Your attitude is disgusting and you sound like the guys that nobody wants to work with. Nobody forces you to be here and you're welcome to go and please take your cancer with you on your way out.
Add issues to the codeberg.
RN there are users scripts and userstyles over at m/kbinStyles to add collapsing and move text box to the top. Users are already adding requests for these functions natively. The infinite scroll rather than pages is available in the gear icon on the side or in your profile
Has anyone tried creating a KBIN server using the Docker instructions since Saturday? I got a development server running on Saturday and I decided to bring up a production ready version on Sunday, but now I'm running into two errors while creating it.
I have tried creating an instance on both Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 with both Docker and the manual steps.
I can get the build to work fine. But at best I get 500 errors with no signs of logs as to why, not in postgres, not in nginx, not in redis or rabbitmq or even syslog.
On Docker i have both the kbin_messenger and kbin container boot looping with an error about creating cache directories. But since the containers are restarting I cant even get into bash on them to see why.
I finally said fuck it and ran the compose for "prod" and the containers start but again, 500 errors.
At this point....i give up i feel. I would love to host an instance and I am familiar with some of these modules (ie: NGINX, redis and postgres) but with how this is built, I dont see where the breakpoint is.
I operate my own homelab and have a background in SRE, so I figured I'd try out the same. I've wrangled a Mastodon instance install before, so this couldn't be too hard, right?
My approach started by using containers via lxc as a quick and dirty way of getting a development environment that enabled me to figure out if it worked and then see if I could then wrap it into a proper docker container and look at potentially publishing that.
On my first attempt, I did the manual route. I skipped the redis, rabbitmq, and postgres installs as I already operate those elsewhere on the network, but I got everything else running. Unfortunately, I also experienced the 500 errors. Most of the front page loaded, except for the content where the 500 error was displayed. Even with some digging around, I couldn't find a clear path to figuring out what was causing the 500 error, as the Mercure hub was seeing subscribers connect and disconnect. Gave up.
I then figured maybe the docker route might be easier/streamlined. I'm not a fan of duplicating services, but I thought that if the core workflow was solid enough, I could put effort into splitting them apart and go from there. Unfortunately, I don't even get past the docker-compose build for dev. Docker compose hangs forever.
@ernest wanted to report a beehaw thread being broken. See here. apparently they used hashtags in their thread title which is allowed there, and it broke for some lemmy users and ended up in kbin's microblog section rather than showing up as a proper thread.
Am I doing something wrong or are badges not implemented correctly yet? I set them up in my magazine and even manually input one into a post but it doesn't seem to display anywhere. I assume they are supposed to show similarly to Reddit post flairs. If the feature needs more time cooking, that's fine. I just want to make sure it's not just me.
Been having a problem recently (and intermittently) where when I upvote a comment it goes to a page that says Error and I have to go back to the previous thread, refresh it, and then the upvote works.
Just browsing new and came across the MAP ("minor and youth attracted people") magazine from rqd2.net, most of the active people there are using the same instance. I will be blocking the instance as best I know how, but I think defederating might be the safest bet.
Hey not sure if this is the proper venue for this, but is the REST API expected to be functional? The root endpoint (e.g. curl 'https://kbin.social/api') works, but then all the others (e.g. curl 'https://kbin.social/api/magazines') fail with a 500.
At first I figured it was just a "kbin.social is overloaded" issue, but the behavior seems consistent across a few different instances (karab.in, kbin.lol, some others I forget).
Figured I'd check if the API is, y'know, implemented/enabled/whatever before I try and repro/submit an actual useful bug report.
I don't see this one in the issues list but, at least when sorting threads by newest, blocked domains still have content that shows up. I confirmed the domain is flagged as blocked in the UI at least. If I block the magazine, I don't see it at all, but seeing hate speech is not my idea of a good time.
Has anyone else stopped receiving notifications? I haven't gotten any notifications the past couple of days even though my notifications are all turned on.
Just a heads up - since the recent updates, on desktop, clicking on link preview in a comment will make the link and the little icon disappear but no preview loads: https://files.catbox.moe/o41qu7.jpg
Clicking the link itself opens it in a new tab as normal.
Not sure if anyone is getting this problem or whether it is a KBin issue or a browser issue.
I get an issue when browsing on mobile (Firefox) and loading magazine headers under all. If I scroll down and load a few additional magazine headers, click on a magazine title to view it and then hit back to return to the list of magazines, the list does not return me to the place I was at in the list.
Instead it truncates the list back to first loaded magazine headers and leaves me viewing the random details normally positioned at the bottom of the all list. To get it to load more magazine headers I have to scroll back to actual bottom of the listed of initially loaded magazine headers. It then starts reloading headers as normal but I then need to scroll and reload all subsequent magazine headers to get back to my position in the list.
There might be something wrong with Markdown tables, they worked fine a week or so ago but now it's just the "raw code". Any experiencing this issue or did the format change slightly?
Why are comment threads no longer indented further than 2 indentations? I can't tell when someone is replying to the parent comment or one of its replies anymore...
Why are the default rate limits so low? As an admin how do I change them permanently? I have modified rate_limiters.yaml and ran the dump command. If the containers restart the file is reset to default settings.
Can someone tell me why some instances aren't updating?
For example, https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] only displays posts a week old but if you go directly to that instance, you can see posts posted a few hours ago.
I am also having this issue, federation seems almost completely broken right now. My Frontpage is entirely kbin magazines on both subscribed and all. My own posts don't federate well either, it takes hours for them to become visible on other instances and Mastodon.
Is it better for you now? I’m still in the same boat. My front page is full is mostly single digit comment stuff from Kbin. If I go to a lemmy app though, I will see more popular Kbin content on their front page than I am seeing while logged onto Kbin.
The only issue I would like to change is to be able to middle click links and open the link, not the comments. That being said, if something like that is already available or in the works, please someone let me know.
I find it annoying that the only way to see my subscribbed "magazines" is to go into my profile and then find the section for subscribbed. Reddit always did it so effeciently where you have your subscribbed subreddits on top or in a drop down menu in the case of the new reddit.
I'm having issues subscribing to magazines on sopuli.xyz - for example [email protected] or [email protected] bring no results when searching. Am I supposed to create an account there as well?
When I do an action on the site after like an hour, it takes me through the dumb cloudflare thing. I'm already logged in, why do I need to go through it every freaking hour?? This is an AWFUL user experience. I say "remember me" not "forget me in an hour"
Unsure which side the problem lies or it's just unfixable atm, but some(didn't check all) of my subscribed communities that are on Lemmy instances are unfortunately not properly synced.
And I think one thing that should be of highest priority is, a way to see comments that had been edited.
/sub shows me all kinds of magazines but mostly not those I have subscribed. This was working a few days ago but now I don’t understand what I have done wrong. Could someone please explain it to me?
My posts seem to become invisible to me after I post them, and I am unable to view any comments to my posts, even my own. I get notifications that I have comments, but when I click the notification to view the thread so I can read the full comment, all of the comments are missing.
Not great that this requires a new account on a service most people won't already have :( I tried logging in with GitHub and it did that thing that I really hate federated logins doing where they go "yeah go ahead log in with your credentials from another site SIKE YOU HAVE TO TELL US YOUR EMAIL ANYWAY"
[Issue] Another domain with issues when subscribing: @lemm.ee. Also redirects to a 50x error page and subscribing still works for the account despite the error.
