This seems to be a popular topic today, I imagine it must be getting worse for kbin.social users (the errors when posting threads / images, if it is that)
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...
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 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?
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?
I think "block them and move on" is a good way to treat it excessive posts about spiderman or eyeliner or flashlight reviews.
But that attitude misunderstands the problem with bigoted posting.
It isn't that is does direct harm to "offended" viewers. It's that it spread shitty, wrong views to passive, opinionated viewers. Anyone who would block is not the target audience anyway. And some of us who would block need to keep an eye on what's going on.
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.
Having the same issue here - looks like only one tag gets included, and it only partially includes incoming Microblog hashtags. You'll note that if you have multiple tags and click them in your magazine description panel, you get a much wider selection than what's included in the Microblog. Pretty sure it's a bug.
Microblogs and threads are actually different activities. It's not currently possible to migrate them, and I'm unsure of the feasibility of doing so.
To delve into ActivityPub a bit, there are "actors" (like magazines and users) and "activities" (things the actors do). A posted thread is an activity of type "Page", but a posted microblog is an activity of type "Note". They then get stored in the database of whatever instance you are on, apparently as type "Link" as far as I can tell querying my SQL database. Still trying to figure out where microblogs go and how/whether they're different, how different things are stored...
But basically to promote or migrate a microblog to a thread, somehow the actual type of the posting would have to be changed.
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.
