I like so many things about kbin, but definitely don't need another unmoderated spammy site to visit. I check back every few weeks, and nothing seems to improve.
There's reason to be hopeful now. Ernest has posted an update about instance moderators who will be able to moderate mags that are either admin owned (and so otherwise wouldn't have other moderators to moderate them) or for those mags which are abandoned.
I have received my first comment on this post, and yes, I am unable to view it. Just the notification.
To answer the part of your question that I could read, yes I have five instances blocked. Does that prevent me from viewing comments on my own posts in other instances?
Also, this appears to be very kbin.social specific at the moment at least. I went around and checked kbin.cafe, kbin.melroy.org, fedia.io; disabled federation on each but all of them had their own domains shown for local posts. It seems only kbin.social is currently stripping domains from new posts made to kbin.social, causing the inability for any kbin.social users to view those posts if they block any domain (to clarify, this affects kbin.social posts FOR kbin.social users. You won't be able to see this issue from a remote instance, as the posts do show as the domain kbin.social over on say, fedia.io. It's only on kbin.social that posts to kbin.social are losing the domain)
Basically, this was fixed in the source code a month ago, but kbin.social itself (the only instance experiencing this issue) doesn't have the fix loaded in yet.
I think this might be a two way issue. I usually post on Kbin magazines from an account on Midwest.social since Lemmy has a more mature app ecosystem at this point, and none of the comments I made from that account in the last couple of days seem to have made their way over.
My posts seem to become invisible to me after I post them, and I am unable to view any comments to my posts, even my own. I get notifications that I have comments, but when I click the notification to view the thread so I can read the full comment, all of the comments are missing.
Maybe you have something blocking them? Try to disable all your plugins and check any of such hidden posts again, or even do so through a new profile altogether, if your browser allows profiles.
[Issue] Another domain with issues when subscribing: @lemm.ee. Also redirects to a 50x error page and subscribing still works for the account despite the error.
[Issue] Subscribing to magazines from the @readit.buzz domain makes the page redirect to the 50x error page. Despite the error, subscribing still turns out successful.
Maybe I spoke too soon…anyone have any idea why I have gotten 3 notifications for comments in this post, but when I view the post it shows no comments?
@ernest might it be an idea to set up a "kbin social status" web page or mastodon account - divorced from the kbin.social server infrastructure - which people could follow and be informed of any site issues which might not be publishable when the kbin.social site itself is down?
The issue here is that Lemmy is federating out it's content with the pre blocks containing rendered code fit for some sort of code display plugin/CSS - which KBin doesn't have.
It would ideally send out the blocks html encoded and would let downstream implementations like KBin or others figure out how to display it themselves. I don't know how we would fix this.
