originalucifer, to fedia in Fedia.io instability
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

mbin is the platform that both sites utilize. fedia.io is the most popular, and i would argue the flagship mbin installation.

i am building moist.catsweat.com as a stable counterpart to distribute the load, maybe add a little irreverence to the fediverse.

its been discussed at length. downvote information can be procedurally abused (bots). the same cannot be said for upvotes.

remember we're not building for a specific community, but for an entire ecosystem where there can be bad actors.

downvote information can be use retaliatory... its hidden to keep people civil

originalucifer, to kbinMeta in Is the Kbin source outdated compared to kbin.social?
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

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.

1.6.0 is the next, impending release for mbin.

is kbin still under development?

originalucifer, to kbinMeta in Error 50x when looking for Nijimiss.moe profiles
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

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.

works from my mbin site.. must be specific to the kbin.social instance.

the no europe thing smells like gdpr avoidance. something of a red flag

e. actually, that might be the main issue. i think kbin.social is out of germany, so might be blocked from your no-euro server

originalucifer, to kbinMeta in A minor thing impacting usability
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

yes, i agree. this has bothered me since inception

originalucifer, to kbinMeta in I Still Like Kbin.social
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

i donate financially to kbin, and i dont use it other than as a remote, federating platform. the outage means nothing to me personally.

still would be nice to get a little administrative communication on a system designed for.. ya know, communication.

originalucifer, to kbinMeta in So blimey - what happened there?
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

its not the outage that bothers me, its the complete lack of communication.

originalucifer, to kbinMeta in url link blocking. What happened to it.
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

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.

originalucifer, to kbinMeta in Issue with sort by hot
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

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

originalucifer, to kbinMeta in Issue with sort by hot
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

how can it be hot if it has zero upvotes? seems pretty not-hot to me

originalucifer, to quarks in I'm getting tired of making generally bad OC
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

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.
