    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.

    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.

    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?

      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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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)?

    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.

    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.

    @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.

    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).

    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.
