You've done an awesome job. And anyone complaining needs to remember that Kbin/ Fediverse is still in its infancy stages: It's going to cry, teethe, piss and shit itself when you least expect it. But with the right care (and time), one day it'll be a lot easier to manage.

No worries at all. I'll try and find a proper home for my question tomorrow.

Thanks again for all your help in the past.

Hey, I just wanted to give you a heads up and say that I’m still having those issues. I’ve been able to post things as links as a work around, but yesterday a new problem occurred:

I can’t delete threads. And neither can one of the other mods on our sub.

Here are links to the threads:

https://kbin.social/m/SquaredCircle/t/391466/Disregard-Can-t-delete#comments

https://kbin.social/m/SquaredCircle/t/391600/Disregard-Can-t-delete#comments

And please don’t mind my, “Kbin is acting dumber than usual" comment. The show I mentioned in the OP happened yesterday and my problems seemed to worsen RIGHT before it started. Don’t take it to heart, I was very frustrated at the time and needed to vent.

And I figured it would be best to tell you this here instead of creating a new thread. If word got out that mods can’t delete threads then Kbin might have a serious issue on their hands.

Hey, a few updates on the issue:

One of our mods tried a “test” thread to see if they received the error. They did at first, but was able to fix it using @Cacheson ’s advice. Here it is in their words:

Yeah, I got the error message, too. Sorry for taking so long.

Quick edit: I tried the fix mentioned by @cacheson in the thread you linked and my Test thread shot straight to the top of the second page of "hot" on my main feed.

Once they were able to create the thread, I messaged one of the users who was experiencing the issue and they were able to view the post. Following your advice seemed to be what helped them. Again, here it is in their words:

Indeed I can! Apparently my blocking of explodingheads was the issue! Don't know why but I can see everything! Even the dirty secrets!

Their issues seem to be solved. Unfortunately, I’m still seeing the error when I post. FWIW, I have nothing blocked at all. And I’ve tried posting on two different devices with two different browsers (no clue if that helps in any way; just wanted to mention it in case it does).

Let me know if there's anything else I can do on my end. Thanks as always.

Also, there's a PPV starting in 15 minutes so I'm going to be a bit distracted tonight. Tomorrow I'll give that codeberg thread a good long read and report back anything I can. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Thanks so much for the help. I'll try to gather some evidence/anecdotes from others and get back to you soon.

And I have no idea if this helps but on Friday afternoon things seemed fine for me. I was able to post the "Edge's last match" and "Pro Wrestler Charged with Assault" threads with no issue whatsoever. Again, don't know if that helps, just want to give you as much info as I can. Thanks again.

Yeah, that's weird.

FWIW, @GeekFTW and I are responsible for 70-80% of the posted content on our magazine. If both of us are having this issue then it's going to be a big problem for our growing community.

I know these things are tricky and take time to solve. I know this won't be fixed overnight. But next Sunday is one of the biggest pro-wrestling shows in history and the last thing I want is for some of our users to not be able to experience that with us. A few of us have gotten to know each other pretty well because of this place. It'd be heartbreaking if we can't all come together during that epic show.

Going by who boosted and upvoted my threads, here’s what I’m seeing:

Last night, our ‘Collision’ thread seemed only visible to people on Kbin…but not everyone. One of our other top CC’s couldn’t see the thread and they’re on kbin.social, the same instance our mag and my account were created on. From what they’ve said, they’re struggling to see anything I create – that includes threads and comments. Here’s what they said about their own issues when they tried posting a thread:

Ironically, I actually did get the error lol.

Got the post all pre-typed out and such, titled, tags, etc. Hit post, error. Panicked, thought I lost it all, but didn't. Tried 4 times, same error every time, said fuck it and I'll give up. Then noticed 4 threads on my profile (I deleted the other 3 myself) and this thread still doesn't show up for me on the magazine. Tried to click your comments and can't even see em normally on the topic that does open, hell I'm responding to you via your profile page right now. (same with your post to kbinmeta just now, I see it, but i cant see the comments on it). First time it's happened to me during thread creation however (instead of the typical occurrence from when I block someone).

On Friday night, our ‘Rampage’ thread was visible to people on other instances. The thread was boosted and upvoted by users on lemmy.world, feddit, kbin, and sh.itjustworks. But I don’t think that user–or some of our others–could see it either.

Let me know if I can gather any more info for you. And thanks for the help. In cases like these, I really wish I was more tech savvy.

EDIT: I created a new thread on m/SC about an hour ago. It has 7 upvotes yet not one from Kbin (excluding myself and GeekFTW, who found the thread via my profile). It seems like one thread I create will be viewable by people on Kbin, the next not so much. It doesn't make much sense to me.

Thanks. It's weird. I post discussion threads throughout the week (for pro wrestling shows) and all week I've had people bring it up. Even make other 'discussion threads' because they couldn't see mine.

Appreciate hearing that. Weirdly enough, the posters who've brought it up are actually Kbin users...

The error occurred again as I posted this. So there's a good chance many won't see this either :/

lol Thanks :) Kbin, Lemmy, or Mastodon--it doesn't matter to me, as long as we're all working together to build something better than the last place.
