one of the reasons i jumped to mbin was actual versioning. to me it highlights the maturity of this particular development process, and kbin seems haphazard at best. also the communication coming out of the kbin dev group is basically non-existent and the kbin.social server management has been set to ron popeil.
yes, i mean the Nijimiss site is actively blocking european IPs, which would include requests coming from kbin.social, and might be the root of your 500 errors. i noticed lemmy.world (finland) also cant make those requests to nijimiss.moe successfully.
my instance is not in europe, so it seems like it can make those requests without error.
i really like this idea, and i can't believe it doesnt exist.
it sounds like it did exist, but for some technical reason it was removed.. it could be something very innocuous like the code was terrible, and needed a rewrite, or a library was used that needed to no longer be used and it has not yet been replaced.
i agree, i think your argument is 'why arent my own posts automatically liked by me'
call me a pedant but it hurts me to hear a category labeled hot, that has not had literally any user related activity. those 2 things are incompatible. just swap hot for new and call it day
hot to me is an 'activity over time' metric, and zero doesnt play nice
if its a chore you shouldnt be doing it. it should be fun!
for me its a bursting outlet for my nonsense.. not reeallly considering the audience when im creating stuff. i just need to get it out of my brain before it burns a hole.
ive also been surprised by some of the easiest stuff garnering the most attention.
alllllsoo.. ive noticed in the verse this kinda of delayed reaction. ive gotten posts that suddenly gain attention months later as the fediverse does its thing, and the content gets refreshed out there..somewhere.
