/kbin meta

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 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.

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.

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).

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:

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

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

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

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 :(

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.

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.

So, are notifications just a dead feature now?

Having issues searching for any federated content w/i 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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

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

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

[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.

Test

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.
