I have been trying to make threads on wayfarershaven.eu, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org and lemmy.world. For weeks. Comments work but links/photos/posts do not. They obviously never actually make it to the instance… sometimes I can delete them, sometimes I can’t.
Initially I was just testing on lemmy.world and assumed it had to do with their constantly going down due to bot and DDOS attacks, but it seems like this must be a kbin problem.
It’s becoming pretty tiring. I don’t really want to bother participating anymore if I’ll never be able to post anywhere other than kbin.social.
I’ve noticed that if I comment on my own post it federates. Even if I then immediately then delete the comment on my own post.
I only noticed that the other day though. But it does mean that posts I posted via Kbin about a week ago on lemmy.world have now federated and have had upvotes
Wow you’re right. I commented on one of my invisible posts from yesterday and it was instantly available on its home instance. That’s a wild fix, but I’m very glad to know about it. Thanks!
I only learned it because someone had put ‘ignore this comment, I’ve just left it because sometimes my threads don’t post properly’ and it clicked with me that 2 of my recent ones had had no interaction at all in a week!
It’s a weird workaround but at least it’s there… Spread the word I guess lol?
Probably the same issue (or one related) but if I create a thread it generates an error message and does NOT federate to other kbin or lemmy servers, although it does appear on the home instance, kbin.social. However if I upvote the newly created thread it does appear on other servers. It’s an annoying bug which I hope is fixed soon, although one relatively easy to work around.
Creating links works fine.
I do not have any domains blocked, so it is not the same as this reported bug (although, again, it appears to be similar or related): https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1019
Even posting this thread to kbin threw an error, although so far as I can tell it made it through.
Not sure about other instances, but I can see 4 links you’ve posted to [email protected]. Not sure if you’ve deleted the other attempts or if I can’t see them
The last time it worked was this one over two weeks ago, I tried a handful of link posts here over several days and none ever posted. I have been trying to post text posts in several places and they all give an error, appear to post if I look at them on kbin, but never show up if I go to the original instance.
