Loving the new updates, but what all has changed? (kbin.social)

I tried looking around for a changelog but I couldn't find one anywhere (let me know if you know where it is, I know you can look at the commits/merged PRs on Codeberg but there's a lot to dig through).

Here's some of the changes I've noticed:

Profile picture next to username in top right
Comments can now be sorted by "top"
Larger image preview when uploading an image
Magazine stats are now localized (yay!!!)
kbin logo instead of stormtrooper in the "Create your own instance" box
Vote colors are brighter on dark mode
New theme: Tokyo Night

This is just what I've seen after using the site for a bit after the update, let me know if there's anything I've missed!

Edit: I just noticed that you can filter posts by language now, that's huge!

Hm... My avatar photo is gone, and showing as a broken image. I tried to upload it gain, but it doesn't seem to have taken.

A lot of avatar photos are broken for me, same with a lot of the thumbnails and magazine icons. Something weird must be going on

I can see your avi from my side, might just be some backend weirdness.

I also notice quite some image issues on kbin.social. Seems like some image cache problems?

[–] Naminreb@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Imgur images? I think I had that problem.

same for me, seems the migration is not complete or a server is down..
OR some images have no longer found their way home~

My guess is Fastly cache issues.

[–] ReiWasHere@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

well i don't completely know what u mean.
if i opened images in a new tab it was a error 404, the image could not be found (browser dev tools also said so), so idk if it had something to do with the cache (but cache was also one of my 1st thoughts)~

but i also could be wrong :D

It's not a cache issue at your side. It was a configuration issue at kbin.social with Fastly image cache. Causing those 404's. It's now been resolved.
