@CarlsIII It's looking to work for me at least opening up kbin.social in a private window and enabling it. Make sure you're enabling the setting under the "Threads" header and not just the "Microblog" one, assuming you mean for threads

@harmonea you may be blocking a domain, which causes a bug detailed here. tl;dr blocking any domain on kbin.social right now hides any non-link entries and comments on them. removing them all fixes it, it's fixed in latest which hopefully the main site gets soon

@harmonea threads like this one https://kbin.social/m/Otomegames/t/480285/I-played-Butterfly-s-Poison-Blood-Chains ? Are you unable to see it, or a different one?

One thing I'm trying to keep an eye on is sup. Not much information at all besides a snippet of 1 to 1 encrypted messaging for activitypub, but the tidbit of working with any fediverse account is interesting. Potentially that could help deal with the different fediverse implementations of messaging. Of course, like I said, this is just me making up assumptions, it could not work the way I envision it at all. The creator just posted something 5d ago about it with "soon" though, so I'm hoping to read more about it

The short answer is no but the longer answer for what happens in each situation was detailed here: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1051

lemmy -> kbin = pretends to send but doesn't

Maybe gremlins, looks like it's working now. (I have noticed some 500s, but I assume jerry is still running his auto-null-image-fixer script and it will start working eventually). It's empty though as is the case with federation they don't automatically pull in things until added so the past content isn't there

I'm able to see that post, do you see it in private browsing / when logged out? If so, you might be blocking domains on kbin.social and removing them would make it appear again. That's been fixed in latest which hopefully kbin.social users should get soon, but wasn't affecting other instances I had checked so you should be fine to do so on artemis

I don't want to give false information, but on fedia the majority of 500 pages seemed to stem from the image media cache causing issues (our instance admin detailed the issue here). People were able to mitigate it by disabling images everywhere they could, but one place they can't be disabled is the user avatars on the notification page. I could be wrong, but it's my belief it's those images causing the 500s, and that pushed me to add https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1039 in hopes that if it was possible to disable them the 500s would stop. All this could be wrong though, maybe it's something else like deleted messages or anything else, or maybe there's a better way to solve issues with cached images

You can set the default landing page here https://fedia.io/settings/general it's the first option for homepage. The options are all, subscribed, favorites, and moderated, make sure to click save near the bottom and not the delete account button.

The closest you can get is blocking those domains, it won't remove everything from them but there isn't a block instance option at the moment, so remote link posts will still appear from them.

he’s eventually going to make sure abandoned instances have admins

I think he meant magazines on kbin.social in this context. I don't think he has any way to control another instance and change who runs it, besides a kindly worded letter.

I do try to keep track of kbin instances and how up to date they are and their admins, but I can't really advertise in their place. One thing I've kind of been thinking about is it'd be nice if nodeinfo had information next to current user count of like: desired user count, max user count. Otherwise you have no idea what an instance admin is hoping for, whether it's just their personal instance or they're willing to support tens of thousands of users. Without that I don't want to send people to x instance and suddenly the admin being in for a surprise. But I just looked up nodeinfo and it looks like there's plenty of worms in that can about it being too complex already, so maybe I'll avoid opening my mouth about it... for now.

If it's avatar uploads hopefully it's something simple like being caught inbetween it being broken and fixed for example https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1022 and all it requires is an update

It looks like all the spam I've seen are from newly registered accounts. Perhaps this is something you've already considered, but would shutting off registration on kbin.social and pointing people to other instances until things are more manageable help?
