I would also love it if we could prevent microblogs from federating to a magazine, as banning currently does nothing to prevent this issue and seems a bit counterintuitive. Similar to the concerns OP raised RE: commenting, this seems like it could be another vector for bad actors to attack from.
Thanks for all your hard work, you have created an amazing community and risen to the many challenges that come from the kind of exponential growth this instance has seen.
Take care of yourself!
Thank you!
Same. Tried Lemmy.world and startrek.website and I just don't like the Lemmy interface as much. Thankfully it wasn't down long enough for me to have time to spin up my own instance.
I did try to resist the urge to refresh constantly to help ease the load.
I think Lemmy is correct here and the Mozilla docs only refer to the text content, not elements. It also mentions that < and > still have to be escaped to be displayed.
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.
So, slight correction to my previous post (which I now deleted) thanks to @troplin.
It seems that phrasing content like <span> elements are allowed inside <pre> elements according to the spec, so Lemmy is actually doing the right thing there. It's on kbin to fix this, not Lemmy.
I commented on one of the closed issues about this on the kbin code repository, asking for the issue to be reopened. Hopefully it will so this gets fixed, I'm not sure though how visibility works if the issue is already closed. I'll make a new one if it's neither reopened nor replied to until next week, if no one else does first.
@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?
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?
