Shame, but understandable. I’d pretty much come to the same conclusion that the interface and concept is really nice, but the backend just isn’t working properly. I’ve migrated most of my communities off already due to issues.

Yes, this doesn’t make sense. How I thought it worked is that the originating server would push the new article to the home instance, and the other instances then pull from there (or the home server pushes; whatever, same net effect). If that isn’t how it works, I don’t see how it can work, as every server which posts to a magazine would need to know who subscribes to it. Certainly in the case of Mastodon, it doesn’t have a concept of this, yet can post to communities/magazines and the comments federate out (maybe comments work differently though? There doesn’t appear to be a problem with comments as far as I can tell)

The official bug reporting system is @jerry

I strongly suspect it’s a timezone bug in kbin. fedia.io is hosted in Germany (I think) which will be GMT+2, which would explain the two hours difference if it isn’t converting back to GMT/UTC on the timestamps. Does this happen on kbin.social too? That would help determine if it’s a kbin bug or just configuration on fedia.io.

Takahē are going to try implementing it too, once Bluesky are ready to federate.

Artifact is an interesting app that learns from your viewing history.

Oooh…

It’s made by the creators of Instagram

Ah, maybe not then.

I think they just get marked as deleted, and what is supposed to happen is that the deleted comment gets picked up through federation and the destination server should delete their local copy. Sounds like that isn’t happening between Lemmy and Mastodon.

There’s some I haven’t used, but Kbin will do Mastodon-style microblogging and Lemmy-style threads, so that’s the best of both worlds. I don’t think the private messaging function works on it yet though.

I think these 500 errors are bugs in #kbin. Whilst they might be caused by something in the database, the code ought to be fixed to fail gracefully. It’s possible that some are timeout related, maybe the location the media files are isn’t responding quickly (I’m not sure if they are local files). I know that if I refresh some threads the page displays and it doesn’t appear that anything on the sidebar changes. Maybe that points to a timeout issue too? When refreshed whatever it was fetching is now in the cache so it works.

It probably needs somebody familiar with the code to look at the error logs to figure out what is going on.

That’s correct - kbin doesn’t tend to drag in old posts, however Lemmy does appear to do this.

I think that would be annoying!

I think the point was that we don’t need to use the sketchy service.

I find it useful. I follow my Kbin account from Mastodon, anything I boost I then see there - and can boost it to Mastodon easily.

If people followed my Kbin account and I used it as my main for everything, then boost would be useful without the double boosting.

No worries, appreciate you running this instance, and given how new it is issues are inevitable.

They’re very random. One of my magazines I can no longer access @ukdtt but I’m not sure if it was caused by something I did, and microblogs aren’t showing on a lot of occasions. @jerry does the database need another kick?
Quite often I’ve noticed for threads if you toggle the image related settings they start appearing. Sometimes even just refreshing the page clears the error.

You don’t really need to, as everything you can do on Mastodon you can do on Kbin - and more.

He only got back into it because Commodore mixed his company up with another that had a similar name.

Oh dear, he’s back to his old ways of hyping things 😕
