Hypx, 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.
melroy, Turning off federation doesn't mean it will delete all the content on your/the instance.
Auster, 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?
xep, I've noticed this too. Is there any workaround? Some Hexbear users are egregious and clutter up posts with meaningless noise.
Raffster, That's what I observed as well. It's a pitty because it ruins the good experience I had so far in kbin.
Auster, Since this appear to be the most proper thread, I'll keep posting as I see issue. Hopefully a staff member will see the bug reports, then.
DessertStorms, (edited ) 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.
My feed sorted by new now, 8 of the 10 first posts are these bots:
https://files.catbox.moe/0edkv6.jpgIs there anyway to stop this (beyond blocking m/random which I've now done but don't want to)?
Hyperreality, Slightly annoying issue:
No reply notifications for comments.
ozen, I'm having this issue too
BaldProphet, It was working for me last night, but now I'm not getting any notifications, either.
ozen, When I joined a couple days ago, it worked immediately when someone responded to me. Now, it's either delayed by a couple hours or doesn't work at all. It's probably low on their priority list right now, but I hope it gets fixed eventually.
DessertStorms, 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.
Lodespawn, Is there a way to stop videos and audio from autoplaying? Browsing kbin on Firefox mobile and it keeps randomly playing some unknown audio.
speck, Ever find a fix for this? News videos keep autoplaying for me on Firefox mobile, even before I scroll to the post in the feed
Lodespawn, 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.
Lodespawn, Hrmm I think I have automedia preview set to on. I've turned it off and will see if this fixes it. I say think as the UI for the kbin page settings isn't super clear what's on and what's off ..
Lodespawn, Err well that maybe worked but it also stopped all images loading in the feed so not really helpful
speck, Yes, I think that's where the problem may lie, loading images has been intertwined with video autoplay
Montagge, 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.
PugJesus, 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?
BaldProphet, Kbin seems to be breaking down lately. I haven't been able to read notifications for over a week.
FfaerieOxide, Was wondering what happened to your flood of posts. Guess the error is not local to me.
I just confirmed it's not just images I can't upload.
Even text threads do that thing where "We're Working On The Error" comes up and a phantom thread no one but you can see shows up on your profile.As you say though, other threads origination on kbin.social are showing up so some posters are managing to get though?
BaldProphet, Is anyone else unable to view notifications anymore? https://kbin.social/settings/notifications leads to an "Error 50x" message.
Peruvian_Skies, This is still an issue for me. I have not been participating because I can't see notifications.
blivet, (edited ) The past couple of days I’m constantly being signed out. I have to login several times a day, practically every time I visit.
This seems to happen much more frequently on the mobile version of the site, and whatever Artemis is using to scrape data.
jpgr, This happens to me on desktop as well. Today I can't even log in using my username, have to use email instead.
djidane535, Same issue for me since yesterday. I don’t know what has changed, but it’s very frequent (tens a day I would say).
one2k, Yes. I`ve been seeing it as well in the last 2-3 days on Firefox on mobile. Being logged out 2-3 times a day.
In fact I just had to login to post this comment.
HarkMahlberg, This seems to have been fixed in the last couple days? I used to have this problem but it seems to have been reduced or mitigated.
MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown, It’s been this way for a while for me. I had to re-login just to post this comment…
I’m also getting an “invalid CSRF” token occasionally when I login. And error pages when I try to upvote.
I’m using the web app on iOS.
Ley, 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.
atocci, (edited ) 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.
Edit: Things seem to be working better now?
ApollosArrow, 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.
atocci, No no, not a problem at all anymore. I'm seeing all my subscribed Lemmy communities across a bunch of different instances in addition to a few posts from kbin magazines.
Kbin's algorithm definitely switches content out faster than Lemmy's though, could that be what you're describing?
ApollosArrow, My subscribed looks alright for the most part (even though I am getting stuff I did not subscribe to), but I also want to keep discovering new magazines/communities, so I go to “All” a lot. You may be describing what I see though in terms of how kbin sorts through content on All. It just makes Kbin look really empty to me compared to Lemmy. It’s rare that I will see something with hundreds of comments on my front All page.
sarfunkel, 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.
wakasm, 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
Just my initial feedback.
nicetriangle, Some things that come to mind (I am sure at least some of this has been suggested before)
- The front page seems to default to all for me every time I load it instead of subscribed. This may be user error but I'm not sure.
- The menu to select subscribed is kind of hard to find and it's a bit annoying to click through to it every time I hit the home page and just wanna see my subscribed stuff
- I wish the reply box was right below the OP as opposed to at the bottom below all replies
- Would be nice to have the live preview of your post/comment feature like Reddit
- I wish that typing /m/magazine created a working link to that local magazine automatically
- The aspect ratio thing on image previews
- Would be cool if Kbin had a RES (reddit enhancement suite) style inline image expander thing
- Don't currently understand the magazine badges feature. It seems like a half implemented subreddit flair system, but I'm not sure? Would love post flairs at some point down the line
- the read more down arrow bar thing on long comments is maybe a little unintuitive
Also if this is not the right place to post suggestion box stuff, let me know. Possibly it might be cool to have a suggestion box type forum where people can upvote suggestions they think are worth investing time into. I've seen that done with other software dev projects before.
In any case, great work so far. I donated a little money at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin just earlier today
valaramech, The root path for kbin is currently always "all". I actually have a PR up right now to change this to what people actually expect to happen.
nicetriangle, 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.
ernest, Yeah, I have also noted that. I will check it tomorrow, thanks.
nicetriangle, Cheers, thanks for everything you guys do
