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?
Kbin seems to be breaking down lately. I haven't been able to read notifications for over a week.
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?
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.
This is still an issue for me. I have not been participating because I can't see notifications.
Not being able to post due to errors is annoying. I can't post anything!
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.
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 :(
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.
Yea, comments aren't an issue, but my recent threads aren't going through, it seems. Which is weird, because I know I've posted weeks before and it was fine.
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.
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.
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).
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.
So, are notifications just a dead feature now?
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.
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.
I shouldn't be seeing blocked Magazines in my Random Links sidebar.
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.
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.
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.
Still can't block @hexbear.net instances
Having issues searching for any federated content w/i kbin
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.
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.
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...
Is there a way to stop videos and audio from autoplaying? Browsing kbin on Firefox mobile and it keeps randomly playing some unknown audio.
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.
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.
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
My home feed keeps getting reset to "All" even though I changed the home feed to "subscribed" in settings. Am I missing something?
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.
