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@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"

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"

curiosityLynx,

That worked, thanks.

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.

@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,
@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

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.

Shopro, in /kbin Issues

There might be something wrong with Markdown tables, they worked fine a week or so ago but now it's just the "raw code". Any experiencing this issue or did the format change slightly?

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.

jpgr,

This happens to me on desktop as well. Today I can't even log in using my username, have to use email instead.

djidane535,
@djidane535@kbin.social avatar

Same issue for me since yesterday. I don’t know what has changed, but it’s very frequent (tens a day I would say).

one2k,

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.

HarkMahlberg,
@HarkMahlberg@kbin.social avatar

This seems to have been fixed in the last couple days? I used to have this problem but it seems to have been reduced or mitigated.

MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown,

It’s been this way for a while for me. I had to re-login just to post this comment…

I’m also getting an “invalid CSRF” token occasionally when I login. And error pages when I try to upvote.

I’m using the web app on iOS.

Forgive me for boosting my own thread; I just want to make sure this tutorial is visible on "hot", since this is a potential fix to a problem a lot of people are having.

Thnx, this was bothering me for quite a while.

phi1997, in What does blocking someone actually do?

Looking at your reduces, the same person is down voting all my stuff, too. They're probably running a script or something

stopthatgirl7,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

What a fricking weirdo.

There needs to be a way to report someone to their instance, not just the mods of a magazine, like you do on Mastodon. People like this being a nuisance across magazines need to be handled at the instance level.

Arotrios, in What does blocking someone actually do?
@Arotrios@kbin.social avatar

@ernest - just a heads up that I'm experiencing the same bug - notifications from blocked accounts. Wouldn't normally be an issue, but we've got a couple of trolls that like to go back to old threads and keep replying to try and bait a response.

stopthatgirl7,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

And eventually, there will be issues with harassment, because that’s just how idiots on the internet are. This is something that needs to be fixed before it becomes an actual problem, I reckon.

Arotrios,
@Arotrios@kbin.social avatar

Damn, they really don't like you. Have an upvote as fucktard insurance.

stopthatgirl7,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

The absolutely wild thing is, I literally have only replied to them once, the first time, when I requested they not be a dick to someone. Oh boy, did they take it personally.

Arotrios,
@Arotrios@kbin.social avatar

I've got a couple like that, especially after I ended up kicking the hornet's nest that's noagendasocial.com. In my defense, they deserved it as they've got literal FSB agents posting there, and I was under the mistaken impression that Adam Curry still had a soul.

On the plus side, Adam Curry labeled me an official disappointment of his, so I guess every troll has its silver whining.

stopthatgirl7,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

If you’re going to kick a hornet’s nest, kick a big one, eh?

Gutotito,
@Gutotito@kbin.social avatar

Ah, we finally got to the point of "anyone who disagrees with me is a troll." Took longer than I thought. This thread is becoming a great way to populate my blocklist.

Arotrios,
@Arotrios@kbin.social avatar

Nope, just don't wanna deal with fucktards after I've blocked them. Shouldn't have to deal with them 2-3 weeks later popping up on my notifications - not a big ask. Dunno how you got offended seeing as I have no idea who you are.

UnhappyCamper,
@UnhappyCamper@kbin.social avatar

This dude (the one you replied to) is one of or the person going around on downvote rampages. I noticed this guy downvoted pretty much all my posts for some reason, no clue who he even is, and don't recall having any interactions with him.

I swear, some folks on here really need to get a productive hobby.

Candelestine, in You can be the one to create the kbin page on wikipedia

There wasn’t a lot of good source material to use a couple months ago. I’m unsure if that has changed, but it might’ve. It’s a prerequisite for writing a good wikipedia article, at any rate, as opposed to a shitty one.

You’re not allowed to write your own telling of the story on there, you have to copy other people’s and cite them. So a lot of other people need to have written on it, from a position of being a reliable source, before a quality wikipedia article can be written.

Though a small, mediocre article can be better than no article, if you’re giving someone a good framework to improve on later, as more sources develop.

JackbyDev,

There’s been a lot of articles about the recent Reddit drama or whatever you want to call it. I’m sure some of them have mentioned Lemmy and Kbin!

FaceDeer,
@FaceDeer@kbin.social avatar

And also bear in mind that if someone writes a crappy enough kbin article now and it gets deleted, that's going to make it harder to get a kbin article started again in the future. I know that's not how it's supposed to work in principle but unfortunately it's how it works in practice.

0x1C3B00DA,
@0x1C3B00DA@kbin.social avatar

Pleroma still doesn't have a wikipedia article because of this, despite being one of the oldest AP-enabled fediverse services. It's been deleted twice because some moderator didn't like the quality or number of sources.

density,
@density@kbin.social avatar

@FaceDeer oh that's interesting. do you know why?

magic_lobster_party,

Wikipedia doesn’t like articles that are basically ads. Articles should be written from an unbiased standpoint using independent sources. If an article has been removed because it’s basically self promotion, then mods will be more careful about reopening it again.

i just took a look at what it takes to write a wiki article, and it is extensive (rightfully so). anyone who plans on trying this, please be prepared to have sources prepared, be unbiased, be a good writer, and more.

ChatGPT is going to get you rejected for made up sources for sure.

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