I think at least the first part of this is https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/pull/561

It was fixed a couple weeks ago but there hasn't been a tagged release in a while.

I'm not sure what the release plan is for 1.5.0, currently there's some very heavy migrations that require special upgrade instructions so I'd like to get a tagged release sooner rather than later to avoid instance admins running into issues, but I think there's still a lot of work in flight

DarkThoughts,

I just noticed that the overlap issue also happens with pictures apparently, or at least those thumbnail screenshot from videos. Unless you hover over the image (or redgif video), then it hovers into the foreground.

e-five,

Oh do you use compact mode? If so, sadly another thing that was fixed a while back that hopefully will be fixed for you next release https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/pull/544

DarkThoughts,

Yes. The default view just adds a lot of wasted empty space, useless icons and even more useless cut-off text previews which I don't see the point of.

Doesn't quite look like the same issue, but I trust your word that it got fixed and hope for the next release then.

e-five,

The post you showed in the screenshot does look fine to me both in classic and compact view on an instance with latest.

But I'd agree not all of your concerns have been addressed. I don't believe redgifs work (well), so will try to look into that if possible, but might be out of my depth.

The playback continuing is interesting. I had made a change long ago to not download every time it was expanded / collapsed as before it would make a request every single time, instead I changed it to just hide and show it after the first load, so that sounds like a side effect of that. Perhaps there's some way for me to also indicate to pause media, I will check

e-five, in Is anyone else finding it impossible to block anything from hexbear.net?

Can you describe the steps you're going through to attempt to block it and what you observe? For instance, if I go to https://fedia.io/d/hexbear.net and click block on the side, it instantly appears to work without any errors. I tried from other mbin instances as well and didn't see any errors.

You can’t block any user or community. It just gives you a 500 error.

e-five,

Thanks, was able to get the logs for the error happening with some help. Seems to be related to their "allowlist" changes to lemmy (at least that's the error being thrown back). I'll try to track down in the code, as I believe I mentioned before I believe it sends a request to unfollow to remotes even when you aren't following, and make a patch soon(tm). (For jerry, this is an mbin bug, so feel free to move this to the mdev mag if you want or it can hang out here but isn't specific to your instance)

Gamers_Mate,

If you use ublock origin adding the following to the filter list should help.
fedia.io##article.entry:has(aside.meta > a.magazine-inline[href$="@hexbear.netl"])

e-five,

As an update, this should be fixed as of this PR
I was able to verify that I couldn't block before, and could after the change
So it should get into the next tagged release version (which will likely be 1.5.0) and eventually be working on this instance

DarkThoughts,

Blocking instances on kbin / mbin does not work though. You will still see the communities threads & users (and getting to that page in the first place is a hassle too since there's no link to it).

xep, in Is anyone else finding it impossible to block anything from hexbear.net?

Yeah, same with Kbin. It's been an issue for a while now.

DarkThoughts,

Pretty much since forever.

To get to another instance there is the "Magazines" link at the top of the page, or just go directly to the one you want such as https://fedia.io/m/anarchychess@sopuli.xyz

To create a new one is under that '+' icon at the top of the page. Looks easy but I haven't tried it yet.

You can also hit search and type it in in the format @imaginaryfairies

Hypx,
@Hypx@fedia.io avatar

Also, someone has to subscribe to the community, or else Fedia won't load data from another instance.

FarraigePlaisteach,

Oh, so I can get an existing community on another server to show up here by subscribing? That sounds ideal as long as the other server has decent uptime.

FarraigePlaisteach,

Searching macos or @macos doesn’t find that community on any instance unless I use the magazine search, which is under the hamburger menu.

i_am_not_a_robot,
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

I think if you're searching you need to put the domain in too.

Magazine search is a bit different but will only show the communities already known to the server, the global search will find remote ones too.

That appears to be a bug. I've seen similar problems before but never on an active kbin community. Maybe @melroy has some idea?

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Searching on the handler should indeed find & create the user if not present:, eg. https://fedia.io/search?q=%40Gaeilge%40kbin.social However, fedia.io still seems to return "Empty". I tried to do the same on my instance and that worked.

I'm not sure what goes wrong, assuming kbin.social didn't block fedia, then I suspect some kind of issue at fedia.io. I believe we need to debug this issue on the server-side. Hopefully @jerry can have a look at his logs when trying to execute the search query above and maybe find the root-cause that way.

kbal,
@kbal@fedia.io avatar

The search worked for me just now.

jerry,
@jerry@fedia.io avatar

it is working for me as well. I'll check to see if there was anything in the error logs.

jerry,
@jerry@fedia.io avatar

ok - just looked through logs and I am not seeing anything that looks related to this issue. There are a good number of error 500's coming from kbin.social, but none appear to be around the time of these posts, nor associated with the referenced magazine.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

He user only now seems to exists (created 1 day ago it says): https://fedia.io/m/Gaeilge@kbin.social. So yes it seems to work fine!

@FarraigePlaisteach @kbal be sure you are logged-in before doing this search.

FarraigePlaisteach,

I thought I was logged in but I can’t remember now. I don’t see a 404 now though, just “empty”. There are posts in that magazine though, on its instance.

kbal, in Request for errors on fedia.io
@kbal@fedia.io avatar

In case it's not obvious that it's gone wrong just now, it's started giving me 500 and 502 errors. ... and now it's stopped.

jerry,
@jerry@fedia.io avatar

yes, there was a problem with rabbitmq that I found/resolved.

jerry, in How can mbin/kbin users subscribe or even just reach a lemmy community?
@jerry@fedia.io avatar

it may be related to the ongoing federation problems. https://fedia.io/m/french@sopuli.xyz is working now for me. there are no posts in it yet on our instance because no one had subscribed to it until now.

jerry,
@jerry@fedia.io avatar

Also, I checked the source and there have been no new posts since. I'll keep an eye on it.

ciferecaNinjo,

Thanks for the investigation and tips. I was able to see it by querying the substring you mentioned.

I didn’t even think this thread herein posted. Got the 500 error a couple times when posting here and in mdev, and gave up. I forgot that error 500 often happens /after/ the task executes, hence some dupe threads.

Awesome, things do seem to be a bit snappier now (or maybe I'm just imagining things). That's quite expensive, I'll see if I can chip in.

As a bonus, the most excellent mbin folk pointed out a problem in the database and that has additionally helped dramatically reduce the load

I am seeing a 500 error when trying to login using Interstellar a new kbin/mbin app in development.

Trying to browse fedia without logging in on the app throws a generic something went wrong error.

They confirmed recently in their GitHub that they do support mbin and kbin.melroy.org works. login and in guest mode.

I can throw up a screenshot as soon as I figure out how to add an image.

Hypx, in Fedia update
@Hypx@fedia.io avatar

Some things seem to be fixed. But I'm stilling noticing that many communities are not reachable. I mentioned about them here: https://fedia.io/m/fedia/t/590616/-/comment/3994532
