My posts seem to become invisible to me after I post them, and I am unable to view any comments to my posts, even my own. I get notifications that I have comments, but when I click the notification to view the thread so I can read the full comment, all of the comments are missing.

Maybe you have something blocking them? Try to disable all your plugins and check any of such hidden posts again, or even do so through a new profile altogether, if your browser allows profiles.

Not great that this requires a new account on a service most people won't already have :( I tried logging in with GitHub and it did that thing that I really hate federated logins doing where they go "yeah go ahead log in with your credentials from another site SIKE YOU HAVE TO TELL US YOUR EMAIL ANYWAY"

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.

[–] Hyperreality@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Slightly annoying issue:

No reply notifications for comments.

It was working for me last night, but now I'm not getting any notifications, either.

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.

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 can not delete threads

I tried to post a thread a few days ago, and I get "We are working on resolving the issues",
So I waited a few hours and tried again a few times.

Then suddenly like 8 posts all the same pop'd up hours later.

I was able to remove a few duplicates, but I can't remove any more.

Not sure what's going on, but this magazine is now dead in water, as no new posts are working and I can't get rid of others.

Hello all new user here also. There's no 2FA?

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.

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?

[–] blazera@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

its the same for everyone. upvotes dont increase reputation.

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

[–] Flames5123@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This. Why?? This is a terrible user experience. I don't care if your little machine has case sensitive folders, it's bad form to have URLs be case sensitive with things users should be able to easily input (not like IDs like how YouTube does).

Does kbin not have a normal issue tracker?

[–] 10A@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

Answering my own question: Yes, it does.

[–] Shortcake@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What is a normal issue tracker?

[–] 10A@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Follow my above "Yes, it does" link and see.

I shouldn't be seeing blocked Magazines in my Random Links sidebar.
