The instance has been updated to the latest version of the code. For the next few hours, there might be issues with communication in the fediverse. We are working on it, and everything should return to normal shortly. I'll keep you updated.
I knew something was happening, because of the downtimes. I appreciate all the work and improvements you and the team behind it are doing. I don't know if this was a thing before, but I like the ability to hide commenter avatar too. And the themes, such a great update.
That is good news everyone. But will hexbear be fixed also? Will we be able to block them finally? It is with heavy heart that I will have to leave for good if not. They are no longer bearable.
Now that's interesting. I've been trying to do this for weeks now. Works with everything but hexbear. I get an error when I try to block the instance or a user. That's really weird.
By the way @ernest, it looks like the API has not been properly set up on kbin.social - probably an issue with the public/private key set up. I got a 500 error attempting to visit /api/entries
Yep, I intentionally did not enable the API. After the update, I want to wait through the weekend, make necessary corrections, gather some metrics. If everything is fine, we will enable the API!
I like that we can see the crosspost activity. I preferred the comment box at the bottom though. Keep up the good work. Kbin is way better than digg anyday.
Me too. One day maybe we can have both options, but for now, this is great. edit: I'm an idiot!
Must be weird for you having so many people requesting things all the time. I don't know how I would feel if an avalanche of people asked me to change my work!
Thank you. From the post at first I thought it was a maintenance patch, it is strange to receive appreciable new features but without even an announcement with a brief summary of the most notable ones.
Nice, so many improvements! @ernest I (preemptively) did a summary of the benefits which this update has just brought to kbin.social over on matrix a while back. Will you share a version of that or something similar?
Fantastic news, Ernest! I'm sure a lot of people will be happy now that that visible domain blocking / posts disappearing fix should be in. :) That was the most visible issue I noticed coming from your kbin.social folks, anyway. Instance level moderation is also a great and welcome addition and I hope you are able to get some volunteers to assist with active moderation, since it's such a large instance.
It's also good to see commits and changes happening on the kbin code in general. While I've moved my instance over to Mbin, I am still rooting for kbin as well - more hands and more ideas in the "community-focused posting" section of the Fediverse can only lead to further improvements as well as more choices for people looking to spin up their own instances, be it Lemmy, kbin, or Mbin.
Mbin is a very recent fork of kbin so there are very few differences at the moment. My instance does not have a lot of communities as it's a private instance with very few members, so mostly we follow others'. Mine is https://the.coolest.zone
