I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...
Currently, on the main instance, people have created 40191 accounts (+214 marked as deleted). I don't know how many are active because I don't monitor it, but once again, I greet all of you here :) In recent days, the traffic on the website has been overwhelming. It's definitely too much for the basic docker-compose setup,...
Frequently seeing users expressing confusion about the workings of kbin.social and the larger fediverse. Thought it was worth making an intro guide to iron out some of the wrinkles in the understanding of how all of this works in hopes of diminishing the barrier to entry the idea of federated content seems to pose. Some of this...
I just saw an email from Buy Me a Coffee. Not just one. I went in, and I'm truly shocked. Thank you all for the support; I would like to thank each and every one of you individually someday. Honestly, I don't know what to say. The account balance is $350, which will definitely allow me to develop kbin faster or at least not...
Many might not know, but the developers of Lemmy are communist tankies - and i'm not joking - that spread propagranda and misinformation. They for example deny the genocide of the Uighurs in China as it is a "hoax perpetated by the western propagandists"....
Been getting a lot of 404s in Federation and blank icons here in Kbin for pictures uploaded here on Kbin. Didn't have this problem until a couple of days ago. Is this a known issue? Any workaround to this?
Hi all. I have decided to shut down the unofficial kbin guide magazine (https://kbin.social/m/unofficial_kbin_guide) as well as shut down the unofficial docs page: https://unofficial-kbin-guide.surge.sh/....
Does anyone else get Secure Connection failed errors when connecting to kbin.run?``
If I'm on page 14 for instance of "new" and go to "hot", I'm now on page 14 there. I think that the first page would be expected by most people?
I'd like to chat and hang out with you folks in real time. Do we have an official or unofficial discord server?
While UI tweaks definitely aren't the top development priority as of now, the header currently feels a bit cluttered and unintuitive. When @ernest does get around to improving it, here are a few changes I suggest:...
I've thought the Magazines page has been messy for a while now, though with collections now also being on the same page (at least for the time being), it's starting to get very out of hand....
So I like the random posts and threads sections on the main page as they help me find new content, but all too often, they're filled with posts from accounts that I have already blocked. Could we modify these sections to filter out blocked users?
A small thing here. The option for users to individually choose to subscribe to specific threads to get notifications for new posts. I often see threads of curiosity to me, that I personally have nothing to say in that moment, but might want to see what others say.
Are there plans for a 'hide thread' feature, under 'more'? (next to comment and boost)...
I tried to delete my account weeks ago and I am still waiting.
I've noticed that when I'm browsing microblogs on Kbin, I see very few favorites (upvotes) on posts even when there are tons when you look at them from Mastodon. For example, this post doesn't seem to have any favorites, but look at it from Mastodon, and you see over 120. In general, federation with Mastodon is really...
On kbin, I can see and subscribe to Peertube channels, but I never seem to get any content.
I recently created an account on a new kbin instance. Is there an easy way to migrate my account to that new instance? I feel like this should be easy to find. As such I suspect that such doesn't exist yet, or I'm an idiot. Both are equally possible.
A user from this instance (@aelo0y) seems to be a SPAM clone for posting links to 923000.blogspot.com...
I haven't been able to find an answer for this, so I'm hoping asking this here would be appropriate....
I dunno if you've noticed but federation between kbin and lemmy is shaky at best. By doing even a quick comparison between some original instances and their kbin pages, it is easy to see that comments and sometimes entire threads do not get synced and are practically invisible to the other side....
I recently stood up a kbin instance using the Docker guide for testing purposes. I can see the KBin UI, log in with my admin user, create magazines and threads....
I moderate @mcsuggestions, and today, I noticed that my comments on the two most recent threads didn't show up when I was logged in. After some experimentation, I figured out that whenever I had any domain blocked, all comments on those threads disappeared. From what I can tell in this magazine, others are experiencing the same...
This user runs this magazine which is entirely dedicated to transphobia under the guise of anti-misogyny (usual TERF bullshit)....
