Today, I am addressing several ongoing issues that prove troublesome in the daily use of the instance. In the coming days, I will be working on several things slated for the next instance update:

  • Implementation of a “Support Us” page, listing individuals supporting the project.
  • Fix photo management during post/thread editing.
  • Improved handling of +18 content, ensuring proper image concealment.
  • Exclusion of blocked people and magazines from the sidebar’s related/latest posts/entries.
  • Implementation of a spoiler system compatible with Lemmy.
  • Resolution of several bugs causing the failure to display certain content (error 500).
  • Public release of the API, with everything seemingly operational, remaining tasks involve building assets for documentation, which, with multiple nodes, requires additional configuration. Kudos to @rideranton for a job well done!

In the immediate future, I plan to take a break from coding to focus on global kbin.social moderation and work on the new instance setup from Adam:

Looking further ahead, I intend to refine the /sub feed by segregating it into observed users, magazines, and both simultaneously, as illustrated here:

Additionally, I aim to enhance the tag page with additional filtering options:

The first release is anticipated in ? days.

  • If I go to other mastodon servers like mstdn.ca my profile shows basically nothing except some replies despite claiming I have 182 posts. Adding up threads, comments, microblog posts, and replies for my account gives 185 before posting this, so not far off in number.

    this is an activitypub thing in general and not specific to kbin. if nobody is following you from that instance your posts won’t get sent to that instance (as there’s no real point!)

    the posts of yours that do get sent there are likely there because you commented on a group that someone had been following.

    ps: hey @[email protected], attempting to view a comment on it’s remote instance (https://kbin.social/m/kbinDevlog/t/642285/-/comment/3689397 for example) redirects me to the login page, whereas doing so on the first post on the thread itself works fine.

    is this a known issue? it’s a bit inconvenient when following kbin content outside kbin (want to make sure i’m not missing any replies and writing the same thing someone already did, which happens fairly often on single user instances such as mine)
