When I look at https://fedia.io/all/newest right now there seems to be very little getting through today, with only 3 new threads in the past 10 hours.

Edit: 4 now that I've posted this one, and now I notice that they're all from local users.

This might be the same issue that brought kbin.social to its knees, only fedia/mbin is giving up instead of the infinite retries which are crippling the other platform.

One comment in one of the kbin threads of a guy who hosts his own forked instance said it's probably caused by a Lemmy update, which I guess makes sense. kbin and mbin aren't the same code wise (can't even use the nsfw unblur here), and kbin is also a version ahead of mbin so they might just handle the same issue differently. A lot of the magazines / communities I checked have their latest threads from like a week ago when viewed through fedia. kbin ironically has similar examples, but different ones to fedia. Whatever the cause, it obviously shines a negative light on any 'bin instance and to a degree onto the fediverse. For me, I would really like to avoid having to deal with the shitty Lemmy UI and support the Lemmy devs directly.

I wouldn't exactly say mbin is behind kbin, as things have diverged much since the fork. For example, mbin has moderators from lemmy, and lemmy shows mbin moderators. As of latest, mbin gets moderator reports from lemmy (and maybe the other way, I didn't closely review that PR), things like sensitive groups are marked correctly, subscriber and follower counts come from source... Still, there's a lot of work to do for the user experience, many people have made that clear lately, so I'm hoping mbin will be able to gain the contributors needed to make the changes people want to see

Also, yea a lot of /kbin tweaks won't work. I do want to make an eye toggle button to make visible all nsfw on a page, but that might be hindered a bit due to infinite scroll (as well as a user setting to just have it shown by default). In the meantime though, it's just the structure of data changing from javascript to css, so it's always possible to do. I wrote a tampermonkey script able to do so as an example:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Mbin tweak
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  Unhide NSFW entries automatically
// @match        https://fedia.io/*
// @require      https://greasyfork.org/scripts/12228/code/setMutationHandler.js
// ==/UserScript==

checkThem([].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"].sensitive-state')));

setMutationHandler(document, 'input[type="checkbox"].sensitive-state', checkThem);

function checkThem(nodes) {
    nodes.forEach(function(n) { n.checked = true });
}

based on this answer on how to check all checkboxes on a page
