/kbin meta

The boosts tab in my profile is filling with things I haven't boosted. I know I've mistakenly tapped on some buttons on mobile, but even unboosting things doesn't remove them. I tested with this thread by boosting and unboosting, and it's now permanently in my boosts tab. Even a comment I accidentally reduced and unreduced is in that tab. I don't understand why. I'm brand new to kbin so maybe I'm doing something wrong or unaware of something.

Maybe it's a server issue with all the new traffic but is the way to not get logged out after such short periods of time/usage? Feels like any time I attempt to interact with something on kbin I have to relog in.

Also, as someone else provided feedback on, being able to hide threads in a comment feed would be super useful. If it exists now I haven't figured.out how to do it

Just my initial feedback.

@ernest It would be handy to be able to block all magazines from an entire domain without having to check every single one as new ones are trending in the global feeds. In my case feddit.de - not because antagonism but because I don't understand German. I'd imagine this be a future issue as more language dedicated servers emerge.

Idk if it's related to all new users but navigation is slow for me (France).

Hello there!

In my feed all pictures are stretched, is this a product of the layout? Can I change this somehow? I am using the progressive web app on Android.

✌️

Just browsing new and came across the MAP ("minor and youth attracted people") magazine from rqd2.net, most of the active people there are using the same instance. I will be blocking the instance as best I know how, but I think defederating might be the safest bet.

Blocking a magazine does not keep it from appearing on your sidebar random thread/post feed. I blocked an NSFW mag and reloaded the page and it was still present.

Just came here from reddit, so I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but anyway... Usernames when logging in are case sensitive. This should not be the case because
#1 it's very confusing (I could not figure out why my password was constantly wrong even after resetting it, until i remembered some comment from someone on reddit about case sensitive login issues on some website and tried changing the first letter of my username to lowercase, then it finally worked). I haven't seen any other website work like this.
#2 you're basically allowing people to impersonate others if user account creation thinks usernames with different capitalization are unique names.

Btw, there should be an "Add comment" or "Reply" button up top on the post. At first i thought the thread was locked since there wasn't a reply button, but then i remembered some old forums put it at the bottom of the page, so i scrolled to the bottom, still no reply button. I had to scroll back up through like 4 screens worth of useless footer clutter before i finally found a comment area. This is going to decrease engagement and growth. (I'm on mobile btw). I even tapped on the + button on top to try to add a comment but there was no option. Same with the More button on the post (though it shouldn't be hidden in a More menu since it's a core feature).

Can't seem to hide threads at all. Would love to see this, or have up/downvoted threads also dissapear like the reddit functionality has.

My home feed keeps getting reset to "All" even though I changed the home feed to "subscribed" in settings. Am I missing something?

Maybe I don't understand but my reputation points always say negative. I did the math myself, i have lots more updoots than dislikes. Am i not understanding reputation maybe?

Has anyone else stopped receiving notifications? I haven't gotten any notifications the past couple of days even though my notifications are all turned on.

Been having a problem recently (and intermittently) where when I upvote a comment it goes to a page that says Error and I have to go back to the previous thread, refresh it, and then the upvote works.

This comment thread is behaving very strangely right now: comments with the same ID are showing up multiple times in different places, and I just received a notification about a reply that I don't see in the thread.

Am I doing something wrong or are badges not implemented correctly yet? I set them up in my magazine and even manually input one into a post but it doesn't seem to display anywhere. I assume they are supposed to show similarly to Reddit post flairs. If the feature needs more time cooking, that's fine. I just want to make sure it's not just me.

Magazine names should not be case-sensitive, but they are.

Is this thread monitored? Asking because, from what I observed, that federated Hexbear(dot)net users and communities don't seem to be possible to block. Or should I use the contact form?

Still can't block @hexbear.net instances

I don't see this one in the issues list but, at least when sorting threads by newest, blocked domains still have content that shows up. I confirmed the domain is flagged as blocked in the UI at least. If I block the magazine, I don't see it at all, but seeing hate speech is not my idea of a good time.

Slightly annoying issue:

No reply notifications for comments.

I don't have an account on codeberg, so sending a bug report here. Hope it finds its way ...

When linking to a federated community with ! name@host.tld (eg. !newyuzupiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ), kbin incorrectly links to [https://kbin.social/m/!newyuzupiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com](https://kbin.social/m/[!newyuzupiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com](/c/newyuzupiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com)) (notice the extra ! ).

There is a live example of this bug in https://kbin.social/m/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com/t/62700/Fully-understand-if-this-is-impossible-but-is-there-any#entry-comment-269796

Unsure which side the problem lies or it's just unfixable atm, but some(didn't check all) of my subscribed communities that are on Lemmy instances are unfortunately not properly synced.
And I think one thing that should be of highest priority is, a way to see comments that had been edited.

Hello Mr @ernest

I think this is an issue, or perhaps I'm missing something somewhere?

When I receive a reply notification and click the person's reply comment, it doesn't take me to the comment in the thread, but rather to the beginning, and I have to scroll through the conversation to find my post and the replies to it. Unless I'm doing something wrong, this is going to become problematic in large active threads.

I click on their words in the notification message (as the timestamp is not a link), the comment highlights and even shows the comment number in the link for the post, but does not take me to it, even if I right-click/open in a new tab. Someone in another thread suspects this happens once the thread/and comment moves onto the second page of the thread (but making it infinate scroll doesn't fix it either).

edit: I should add that I'm on Desktop

Searching on "active" magazines often indicates at the bottom of the webpage that there are several search webpage results.

Attempting to go to a subsequent page always yields the "first" page results.

I’m on mobile, and hitting More on the comments section of my profile looks very different from when I hit More anywhere else.

Quick note... some users are having issues with verifying registration if they miss the initial link. I was able to get kbin to resend mine by sending a password reset, but some users can't reproduce that. Just so you're tracking.

Checking "Hide Adult Content" doesn't actually seem like it blocks threads from nsfw magazines. When browsing threads by "newest", I definitely have multiple explicit pictures from explicit magazines (gfur, petplayyiff, & feralyiff?) I'm not subscribed to show up.

I am not enjoying kbin.social right now. The latency is beyond atrocious, at 10+ seconds to load each page. The UI reminds me of 2004 forums that don’t know how users work. The mobile UI is just the worst.

Some pain points:

• I’m a software engineer so I can figure this shit out, but how the hell do I subscribe to a magazine? If I go to it, there should be a “subscribe” or context menu at the top to subscribe/favorite/mute. (I found it, but it's so weird on mobile to click the logo then scroll to get to the subscribe.)
• Why is the comment box all the way at the bottom? Where’s the “add comment” button on a post?
• Why are comments paginated like a forum? Why not just a “load more” like Reddit? What’s the point? It's not to decrease the response because you can do that with "load more" buttons.
• Selecting the comment box should NOT zoom slightly into the page. The mobile web UI needs a lot of work from people who know how to do mobile UIs.
• Is there no “homepage” button? Clicking the Kbin logo at the top just brings up a menu, which requires another click on the homepage button to get back. This is weird and unintuitive.
• Edit: And you can't collapse comment threads? What even...

I really want a Reddit replacement, but this is not it with this terrible UI.

The most important feature needed is comments sorting by TOP. The microblog page already has this. Why not post pages?
