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 not permanently in my boosts tab. Even a comment I accidentally reduced is in that tab. I don't understand why.
minor issue but i can load "[email protected]" I can see their threads, but when I reply the reply does not appear on their end

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.

API Reference

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.
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 desktip, 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).
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.
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.
Where’s the iOS beta 17 discussion happening? - Apple - kbin.social

I’m used to a large number of posts regarding iOS beta testing at this point in the year after WWDC....

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

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.

nothing in my profile will save. I've tried uploading an avatar or editing about info from multiple browsers.

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).

Any way to link directly to context of post? - /kbin meta - kbin.social

Hey all! I’m noticing that when I get a response to one of my comments, I don’t see anywhere on mobile to click that will take me directly to the context within the thread. Am I missing something? Is this a feature that’s planned for the future?

@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
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.

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.

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 ! [email protected] (eg. [email protected] ), kbin incorrectly links to https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] (notice the extra ! ).

There is a live example of this bug in https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/62700/Fully-understand-if-this-is-impossible-but-is-there-any#entry-comment-269796

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.
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?
I'm having issues subscribing to magazines on sopuli.xyz - for example [email protected] or [email protected] bring no results when searching. Am I supposed to create an account there as well?

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.

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

Let me check if Markdown tables work in Kbin comments:

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

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.

Ruins & Riches - a single-player Ultima Online experience. - Gaming - kbin.social

Over the last years I been thoroughly enjoying playing a mod of [Ultima Online](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_Online) called **Ruins & Riches**. Ruins & Riches (formerly called UO Odyssey) is designed to provide a rewarding single-player RPG experience. Players of old Ultima games will find the world familiar, and...

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.

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 in the past 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).

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.

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:

< HTTP/2 503 < server: Varnish < retry-after: 0 < content-type: text/html < accept-ranges: bytes < date: Mon, 26 Jun 2023 21:14:46 GMT < via: 1.1 varnish < x-served-by: cache-bfi-krnt7300043-BFI < x-cache: MISS < x-cache-hits: 0 < x-timer: S1687814086.621395,VS0,VE1271 < strict-transport-security: max-age=31557600 < alt-svc: h3=":443";ma=86400,h3-29=":443";ma=86400,h3-27=":443";ma=86400 < content-length: 11206

Any word on when this might be resolved?

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.
@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.

Slightly annoying issue:

No reply notifications for comments.

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.

Functional 3D Printing - kbin.social

Welcome fellow prototypers!...

I will check it.
@ernest having issues uploading a profile pic - is there a size limit? If so, would like to ask that the size limit be defined on the upload page.
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.

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.

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?
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.

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.

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"
