The past couple of days I’m constantly being signed out. I have to login several times a day, practically every time I visit.
This seems to happen much more frequently on the mobile version of the site, and whatever Artemis is using to scrape data.

Same issue for me since yesterday. I don’t know what has changed, but it’s very frequent (tens a day I would say).
Yes. I`ve been seeing it as well in the last 2-3 days on Firefox on mobile. Being logged out 2-3 times a day.
In fact I just had to login to post this comment.
This happens to me on desktop as well. Today I can't even log in using my username, have to use email instead.
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.
Same here; I change my mind about upvotes/downvotes all the time (especially since I have the terrible habit of voting while I'm still reading the comment), but the ones I've done that for are still there. Heck, the first couple I see when I look at my profile are ones I did that for. Read half the comment, upvoted out of the corner of my eye while I was still reading, read the second half, went "Hoo boy, nevermind," and un-voted.
Related to that, upvotes/downvotes being public is a dealbreaker for me. I don't feel safe upvoting or downvoting anything here unless it's completely uncontroversial, because I don't want to open myself up to harassment by people who disagree.
I'll hang around for a bit to see if that changes, but I'm very unlikely to stick around if it doesn't.
Is anyone else still seeing federated posts even when you turn the federation status to off? I was trying to hide some of the excess meme posts that are coming from other servers. But turning off federation does not make all of them go away. Some federated posts are still being shown.
Turning off federation doesn't mean it will delete all the content on your/the instance.
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?
I've noticed this too. Is there any workaround? Some Hexbear users are egregious and clutter up posts with meaningless noise.
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.
Idk if it's related to all new users but navigation is slow for me (France).
I ate all the food. I can see why you're angry, and I'm sorry.
My guess is that it's because a lot of new users are joining because of the Reddit blackout, but yeah, it is pretty slow (I'm in the US).
Slow for me as well (North America). It can take 10-15 seconds to load a page or perform an action like upvoting.
It's become impossible to browse by new thanks to an army of spam bots.
Every time I sort by new, there are several new groups of 3-5 new users posting to "random" all at once (so 12-15 spam posts for every 5-10 legit posts), I haven't risked the click, but it's a lot of promises of nudes or gold, or celebrity names, you know, bait.
I'll block and report one post from each user as spam, but that seems pointless when there's a seemingly endless stream of them popping up.
My feed sorted by new now, 8 of the 10 first posts are these bots:
https://files.catbox.moe/0edkv6.jpg
Is there anyway to stop this (beyond blocking m/random which I've now done but don't want to)?
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.
@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.
I can't see pinned posts at the moment. It seems like I can see them if I log out. I can't seem to find a setting that would cause this that I could have changed to cause it.
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).
Is anyone else unable to view notifications anymore? https://kbin.social/settings/notifications leads to an "Error 50x" message.
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.
My home feed keeps getting reset to "All" even though I changed the home feed to "subscribed" in settings. Am I missing something?
mobile / desktop?
Both. I'm using the site on mobile and on desktop, not an app. My settings reflect that my default feed is set to Subscribed, but it gets reset to All whenever I go back to the home page, regardless of whether I change it to Subscribed from the home page or in the settings.
Notification issue I ran across today - a person can delete a message in a thread leaving "deleted by author" but the message still shows up in notifications (or part of it since notifications cuts them off at some point).
Is there a way to stop videos and audio from autoplaying? Browsing kbin on Firefox mobile and it keeps randomly playing some unknown audio.
I have an issue with creating threads on federated magazines, it does not appear on the remote server, but does here.
So, are notifications just a dead feature now?
Not being able to post due to errors is annoying. I can't post anything!
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?
We're experiencing so many federation issues, I think. There's much less content in the communities/magazines I subscribe to when I browse them from Kbin, and in some I only see very old posts :(
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.
I agree. Once a comment gets like 20 replies it can be pretty unreadable. Have my updoot.
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
@Sarsaparilla Hey, exactly, it's about pagination. The issue is known, and we will be working on fix soon, thanks :)
Ah, great! Thank you for your reply. Nice place you've got here. Much appreciating your fine work, Sir.
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.
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.
Can someone tell me why some instances aren't updating?
For example, https://kbin.social/m/manga@lemmy.ml only displays posts a week old but if you go directly to that instance, you can see posts posted a few hours ago.
Been seeing a lot of lazy spamming the past few days as I browse newest, all Kbin users. I report them, but they are numerous and it gets tedious. Maybe some tightening up of new registrations should be done? Has there been an uptick on new users lately like Lemmy had a while back?
Added: I figured out where the titles are coming from. They are lifted off search engine prompts like recent Google searches, which explains why some of them are so odd.
