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 seems to have been fixed in the last couple days? I used to have this problem but it seems to have been reduced or mitigated.
This happens to me on desktop as well. Today I can’t even log in using my username, have to use email instead.
It’s been this way for a while for me. I had to re-login just to post this comment…
I’m also getting an “invalid CSRF” token occasionally when I login. And error pages when I try to upvote.
I’m using the web app on iOS.
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.
Oh that’s good. Thanks. Hopefully it’s fixed soon then.
Boosts are like retweets. You’re republishing the content on your own feed, so I’m not sure that it’s a reversible action.
When I posted that there was a bug that caused stuff to show up in your boosts that shouldn’t. Pretty sure it’s fixed now.
Retweets are absolutely reversible. (And so are boosts, but it was initially glitched)
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.

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.
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.
Some things that come to mind (I am sure at least some of this has been suggested before)
- The front page seems to default to all for me every time I load it instead of subscribed. This may be user error but I’m not sure.
- The menu to select subscribed is kind of hard to find and it’s a bit annoying to click through to it every time I hit the home page and just wanna see my subscribed stuff
- I wish the reply box was right below the OP as opposed to at the bottom below all replies
- Would be nice to have the live preview of your post/comment feature like Reddit
- I wish that typing /m/magazine created a working link to that local magazine automatically
- The aspect ratio thing on image previews
- Would be cool if Kbin had a RES (reddit enhancement suite) style inline image expander thing
- Don’t currently understand the magazine badges feature. It seems like a half implemented subreddit flair system, but I’m not sure? Would love post flairs at some point down the line
- the read more down arrow bar thing on long comments is maybe a little unintuitive
Also if this is not the right place to post suggestion box stuff, let me know. Possibly it might be cool to have a suggestion box type forum where people can upvote suggestions they think are worth investing time into. I’ve seen that done with other software dev projects before.
In any case, great work so far. I donated a little money at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin just earlier today
The root path for kbin is currently always “all”. I actually have a PR up right now to change this to what people actually expect to happen.
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.jpgIs there anyway to stop this (beyond blocking m/random which I’ve now done but don’t want to)?
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.

Since this appear to be the most proper thread, I’ll keep posting as I see issue. Hopefully a staff member will see the bug reports, then.
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.
Yep, having this problem too. Just had NSFW magazines showing up in the Random list, plus still seeing porn showing up in search results. The “Hide Adult Content” box is definitely checked, and saved.

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.
Looks like this has sorted itself out now!
It should be fixed. If you could note it down and let me know, please :)
Yep, it’s fixed. Thank you!
@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.
My homepage is about 60% German currently so I’d like this too. It’s a little frustrating and I can’t seem to find any options that help except for sticking to subscribed or local.
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.
I’m having the exact same issue - home is set to ‘subscribed’ but when I go there it shows ‘all’. I’m getting this on mobile (both Chrome and DDG).
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.
Yeah, I have also noted that. I will check it tomorrow, thanks.
Cheers, thanks for everything you guys do
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.
✌️
I can’t post but I can comment. It keeps giving me the error page. Other people seem to still be able to post on Kbin - anyone have any insight into this problem?
Kbin seems to be breaking down lately. I haven’t been able to read notifications for over a week.
Was wondering what happened to your flood of posts. Guess the error is not local to me.
I just confirmed it’s not just images I can’t upload.
Even text threads do that thing where “We’re Working On The Error” comes up and a phantom thread no one but you can see shows up on your profile.As you say though, other threads origination on kbin.social are showing up so some posters are managing to get though?
