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.

@mizzyc There's a checkmark for notifications. Go to your name in the top right, settings on the pulldown menu. It will be under the General tab.

@mizzyc@kbin.social avatar

But these settings are just for the in-site notifications, don't they? I mean, I have some of them checked, but never received a push notification in my browser to don't need to open Kbin every time to check of there's any new interaction

ernest, in Kbin keeps logging me out, while I'm actively using the site - I go to make a comment or something and it doesn't work; logging back in automatically redirects me to the front page.
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

I have an eye on this issue. I can't reproduce it myself, but I will have a few additional devices for testing this week.

curiosityLynx,

Also a major mitigation would be if it redirected you to the page you were on, ideally with what you had written already filled in, after you log back in.

Better yet: if logging in was just a detour to submitting a comment or post. So if you try to post something and you're not logged in, you get presented with the login screen, put in your login information, send, and the post you were trying to make gets posted.

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.

curiosityLynx,

That worked, thanks.

Voyajer, in We really need a way to block communities on mobile without having to actually enter them.
@Voyajer@kbin.social avatar

Where else would you put it, a block button on every single post?

JowlesMcGee,
@JowlesMcGee@kbin.social avatar

I mean, yeah, you could put "block magazine" under the "more" options. I don't think it would take up that much more space, and you wouldn't even see it unless you clicked "more"

Alexmitter, in Is Kbin defederated from Lemmy.ml?
@Alexmitter@kbin.social avatar

Lemmy.ml blocks any kbin instance on purpose by blocking the kbinBot User-Agent

Lodespawn, in /kbin Issues

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.

speck,

Yup, experiencing this too

tables, in Why does it seem everything on KBin is from lemmy?

I think in part it's that a few Lemmy communities are extremely active / almost spammy and there's no algorithm filtering how much content you get from each place. In the "All" view, most of the content I see comes from the same couple of Lemmy "meme" communities. So it's no wonder most of the content I'm seeing comes from Lemmy when almost all of it comes from two specific communities which are basically meme factories. If I filter those out, there's suddenly a much bigger variety of content from all around and on my "Subscribed" tab I can see plenty of activity from Kbin communities.

@tal@kbin.social avatar

The lotrmemes users have been very energetic in aiming to produce content, I must say.

But yeah, you can just blacklist a handful of very active subs.

Tomassci, in Ernest Appreciation Post
@Tomassci@kbin.social avatar

I'm going to mention the fact that not only ernest made the platform, and runs it, he also made communities of miscellanous subreddits (which helped me as reddit refugee) and posts content into it. And manages to do all of that at the same time. Really grateful for all of that.

DarkThoughts, in Call out post for a particular karma farmer on kbin.social

That's not karma farming, that's straight up vote manipulation.

StopMassDownvotingYouIdiot,

Absolutely. They are doing it with the intention of karma farming because they only post shitposts and useless Reddit crap like this, but this is a serious issue if they move on to opinion posts and politics.

dumples, in YSK that Kbin can subscribe not only to magazines and communities, but entire instances.
@dumples@kbin.social avatar

This is why we need more single topic instances. Time to join everything in:

https://kbin.social/d/startrek.website
https://kbin.social/d/ttrpg.network

I feel like there are so many good deep single topic instances that will naturally become the default

insomniac_lemon,
@insomniac_lemon@kbin.social avatar

I would like to see subdomains for communities here. like @competitive.kbin.social for lots of sport-like things as an example. Also place (city, state, country) and fandom or other stuff like that. And make it easy for people to block that subdomain with allowances for the things they actually want to see (though I guess if it's still accessible by subscriptions or directly going there, that works too).

Hypx, in /kbin Issues
@Hypx@kbin.social avatar

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.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

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

0xtero, in YSK that Kbin can subscribe not only to magazines and communities, but entire instances.

As an added bonus, you can also use the https://kbin.social/d/[instance domain here] scheme to block entire domains, if you find that they include content you don't want to see in your feed.

Arotrios,
@Arotrios@kbin.social avatar

Dammit, that's awesome, didn't even see the block button - you got me bonus hunting now... :)

Bonus #2 - Turns out the /d/ parameter works for ANY domains with content posted on Kbin or in your feed.

For instance, let's say you wanna see (or block) everything posted from Facebook:

https://kbin.social/d/facebook.com

or Twitter:

https://kbin.social/d/twitter.com

I gotta hand it to Ernest - this platform has got some kickass code under the hood.

@xuxebiko buy NFTs, of course :)

xuxebiko,

LMFAO!

thanks, I needed that laugh.

Gamers_Mate, in Call out post for a particular karma farmer on kbin.social

As someone who uses Both kbin and lemmy I started removing my upvotes on lemmy because I thought did it by accident until I realized with lemmy it does that automatically when you post something making the default score 1 but on kbin it is 0 because it does not do that. Still the idea of upvoting yourself to get a higher point score just seems silly.
