/kbin Issues

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.

Same issue for me since yesterday. I don’t know what has changed, but it’s very frequent (tens a day I would say).
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.
- 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.
This happens to me on desktop as well. Today I can't even log in using my username, have to use email instead.
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.

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..
- Oh that's good. Thanks. Hopefully it's fixed soon then.
Boosts are like retweets. You're republishing the content on your own feed, so I'm not sure that it's a reversible action.
- Retweets are absolutely reversible. (And so are boosts, but it was initially glitched)
- When I posted that there was a bug that caused stuff to show up in your boosts that shouldn't. Pretty sure it's fixed now.

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.

Turning off federation doesn't mean it will delete all the content on your/the instance.

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.

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've noticed this too. Is there any workaround? Some Hexbear users are egregious and clutter up posts with meaningless noise.
- 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.

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.

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.jpg

Is there anyway to stop this (beyond blocking m/random which I've now done but don't want to)?

Idk if it's related to all new users but navigation is slow for me (France).

I ate all the food. I can see why you're angry, and I'm sorry.
My guess is that it's because a lot of new users are joining because of the Reddit blackout, but yeah, it is pretty slow (I'm in the US).
Slow for me as well (North America). It can take 10-15 seconds to load a page or perform an action like upvoting.

My home feed keeps getting reset to "All" even though I changed the home feed to "subscribed" in settings. Am I missing something?

mobile / desktop?
- 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.
- I'm having the exact same issue - home is set to 'subscribed' but when I go there it shows 'all'. I'm getting this on mobile (both Chrome and DDG).

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.

@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.

Is anyone else unable to view notifications anymore? https://kbin.social/settings/notifications leads to an "Error 50x" message.

This is still an issue for me. I have not been participating because I can't see notifications.

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.

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.

Looks like this has sorted itself out now!
- It should be fixed. If you could note it down and let me know, please :)

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).

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.

I have an issue with creating threads on federated magazines, it does not appear on the remote server, but does here.

I have this issue, I realise. Is this a Kbin thing or a federation thing?
- I can safely comment on federated instances.

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.

Thanks for pointing it out.
- No worries, thank you for taking care of it so quickly!

Hello Mr @ernest

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).

edit: I should add that I'm on Desktop

@Sarsaparilla Hey, exactly, it's about pagination. The issue is known, and we will be working on fix soon, thanks :)
- Ah, great! Thank you for your reply. Nice place you've got here. Much appreciating your fine work, Sir.
- 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

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.

Can't seem to hide threads at all. Would love to see this, or have up/downvoted threads also dissapear like the reddit functionality has.

I agree. Once a comment gets like 20 replies it can be pretty unreadable. Have my updoot.

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.

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?

its the same for everyone. upvotes dont increase reputation.
- Is this by design or a known issue?

Can someone tell me why some instances aren't updating?

For example, https://kbin.social/m/manga@lemmy.ml 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.
Edit: Things seem to be working better now?
- 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.

Is there a way to stop videos and audio from autoplaying? Browsing kbin on Firefox mobile and it keeps randomly playing some unknown audio.

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
- 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.

So, are notifications just a dead feature now?

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 :(

Not being able to post due to errors is annoying. I can't post anything!

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.

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.

Yeah, I have also noted that. I will check it tomorrow, thanks.
- Cheers, thanks for everything you guys do

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).

Having issues searching for any federated content w/i kbin

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.

and now a mag i had already blocked appears in my sidebar as an explicit image, so it wasn't a page reload bug either.
- Noted, thanks.

Slightly annoying issue:

No reply notifications for comments.

I'm having this issue too
- It was working for me last night, but now I'm not getting any notifications, either.

Magazine names should not be case-sensitive, but they are.

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).
- Whether of not they are case sensitive they shouldn't be forced to lowercase as that would be an accessibility issue.

Still can't block @hexbear.net instances

minor issue but i can load "melbourne@aussie.zone" I can see their threads, but when I reply the reply does not appear on their end

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...

Testing 1..2...B
- Testing 1..2...B
  This is a reply, now 1..2...B 3
Testing, 1..2
- Testing, 1..2..3
Why are comment threads no longer indented further than 2 indentations?
That seems to be the behavior of 'classic view'. Change to 'tree view'?
- Thanks! I didn't notice that setting changed and where to find it. That did the trick.

I shouldn't be seeing blocked Magazines in my Random Links sidebar.

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.

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.

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.

Hello there!

In my feed all pictures are stretched, is this a product of the layout? Can I change this somehow? I am using the progressive web app on Android.

✌️

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.

First:

In these instructions:

$ sudo chown 82:82 public/media
$ sudo chown 82:82 var
$ cp .env.example .env

There is no directory "var" so the chown fails

Second:

When running docker compose build --pull --no-cache

It now fails with this:

[php appphp 20/21] RUN rm -Rf docker/ 0.2s
ERROR [php appphp 21/21] RUN set -eux; mkdir -p var/cache var/log; if [ -f composer.json ]; then composer dump-autoload --classmap-authoritative --no-dev; compose ...

This also seems to relate to the var directory, and so must be part of a recent change in the build that relates to the var directory.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

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 kbinmessenger 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.

Why are the default rate limits so low? As an admin how do I change them permanently? I have modified ratelimiters.yaml and ran the dump command. If the containers restart the file is reset to default settings.

Did you figure this out?

Why does clicking the thumbnail of a post in a community open the comments instead of opening the article or image or whatever?

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 don't have an account on codeberg, so sending a bug report here. Hope it finds its way ...

When linking to a federated community with ! name@host.tld (eg. !newyuzupiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ), kbin incorrectly links to https://kbin.social/m/!newyuzupiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (notice the extra ! ).

There is a live example of this bug in https://kbin.social/m/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com/t/62700/Fully-understand-if-this-is-impossible-but-is-there-any#entry-comment-269796

The most important feature needed is comments sorting by TOP. The microblog page already has this. Why not post pages?

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?

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.

I’m a software engineer
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

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.

The imgur problem looks like it's fixed, sometime in the last 2-3h it started working again for me.

I’m on mobile, and hitting More on the comments section of my profile looks very different from when I hit More anywhere else.

Searching on "active" magazines often indicates at the bottom of the webpage that there are several search webpage results.

Attempting to go to a subsequent page always yields the "first" page results.

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.

@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.

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.

For example: https://kbin.social/m/TodayILearned/moderators

I tried in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and curl. curl returns:

Any word on when this might be resolved?

Looks like it is because of the bug resolved by this open PR: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/242.
Fingers crossed that it gets merged and deployed.

@ernest
I've noticed when viewing threads on Lemmy instances that bot replies are not showing, but the bot replies are visible through Lemmy.

Hi. Not sure the issue is on which side, but comment on Lemmy isn't showing to me after 30 minutes.

Edit: I should specify. It's this comment on lemmy.world. Don't know why. Feels like it's an issue on the other side, now that I think about it.

Edit2: By the notification timestamp, the comment reaches 3 hours later.

Hey @ernest I tried subscribing to https://kbin.social/rss?magazine=kbinMeta in my FreshRSS reader and it says a feed could not be found - so I checked with the W3C validator and sure enough - https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkbin.social%2Frss%3Fmagazine%3DkbinMeta it's not at all happy with the feed.

I'm having issues subscribing to magazines on sopuli.xyz - for example !meditation@sopuli.xyz or !geopol@sopuli.xyz bring no results when searching. Am I supposed to create an account there as well?

The Markdown tables written in a lemmy post aren't showing properly

For example, at the bottom of this post
But the original post looks good

Am I dumb or do external links just link back to the kbin thread?

For context, I've only tried out these links here in this thread.

https://kbin.social/m/gaming/t/93512/Ruins-and-Riches-a-single-player-Ultima-Online-experience

I'm sure you're aware there has been an issue with people/bots spamming CP on some lemmy instances, I'm not sure if I happened to see them before removal, or if removal still isn't federating properly (since I know the admins/mods have been trying to implement additional solutions), either way, these posts were still showing up on all/new last night/early this morning (GMT), so it might just be worth double checking on your end if there is any way to stop this.

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.

The issue I had with Up/Down Vote, and Boost throwing errors appears to be resolved. Huzzah!!!

I'm begging for someone to take a look at the CSRF error that is still plaguing the site. Sometimes I can't upvote posts/comments withing 60 seconds of loading a page. I have to hit refresh every single time I want to vote on something or I'm taken to the error page.

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 can not delete threads

I tried to post a thread a few days ago, and I get "We are working on resolving the issues",
So I waited a few hours and tried again a few times.

Then suddenly like 8 posts all the same pop'd up hours later.

I was able to remove a few duplicates, but I can't remove any more.

Not sure what's going on, but this magazine is now dead in water, as no new posts are working and I can't get rid of others.

I will check it.

I added the web app on Android and even with rotation turned off it is rotating to landscape

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.

There seems to be an issue with searching for communities on the lemm.ee lemmy instance. Not sure if this is due to a version mismatch, or maybe something else?

Login email address (maybe username as well) is case sensitive.

If the first letter is uppercase, my login fails. Changing it to lowercase corrects the issue and I’m able to log in.

/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?

Hi, not sure if this is the right thread but here goes.

Issue:
Threads do not seem to federate properly.

Description:
Until a month ago or so, submitting a thread to a federated instance (tested on: feddit.it, sh.itjust.works) threw an error page, but the thread was regularly posted. Example: https://feddit.it/post/1868675

As of at least 2 weeks ago, the error page remains but threads do not federate anymore. Example:
https://kbin.social/m/teoriamusicale@feddit.it/t/546143/Analisi-di-Pezzi-Pop-5-Faith-Hill-The-Way-You

If it can be of help, posts, links and comments seem properly federated to the same abovementioned instances, i.e. appear on target instances within a few seconds. No error displayed when submitting.

Hope this can be addressed sooner or later. Right now I'm using local accounts on those instances to work this around.

Tried to add my alt account on a different instance to the moderator list of the only magazine I own and got a nonsensical error message: Value isn't blank, but the error message says "This value should not be blank"

Try @curiosityLynx@kglitch.social
I will add the issue, thanks.
- That worked, thanks.

Too many posts weren't federating with kbin so I had to make a lemmy account to avoid missing comments from non-kbin communities, so hopefully the federation issues get fixed at some point.

Does the notification system work? I don't see any notifications even though I should.

It might be turned off in settings. I'm getting notifications.
- Starting to see notifications now. Guess it's fixed?

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.

Yup, experiencing this too

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"

Longer comments have a band at the bottom of the text with a double arrow which, when click on it, is meant expand and show the rest of the text. On mobile, it doesn't uncover all the text. Is there an option to disable this feature so that comments are not collapsed?

[Issue] Subscribing to magazines from the @readit.buzz domain makes the page redirect to the 50x error page. Despite the error, subscribing still turns out successful.

[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.

Also for @lemmy.fmhy.ml domains
- @lemmy.fmhy.ml domains still error out.

@crystals.rest domains also have issues subscribing, redirecting to a 50x error page despite successfully being subscribed to.

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.

Maybe you have something blocking them? Try to disable all your plugins and check any of such hidden posts again, or even do so through a new profile altogether, if your browser allows profiles.

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"

Hello all new user here also. There's no 2FA?

correct. maybe it will be added later, but there are more pressing issues now
