Issues with the functioning of kbin.social
The issues that started occurring on Sunday turned out to be more serious than anticipated, extending beyond the application code. We are still working on resolving them to ensure the proper functioning of the website, but we need some more time. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Interstellar updates: microblogging, YouTube embed, and image view
I originally posted on the new Interstellar magazine, but I think kbin.social is having federation issues, so I'm posting here as well....
OC Prototype for new Kbin app: Interstellar
I've been working for the past week on a new kbin app. At the moment, it's just a prototype and only the "Feed" view has content (you can't sign into an account or post anything yet); you can see threads, thread images, thread comments, thread links, and thread votes/boosts. You can also change the "Theme Mode" and "Instance...

Today, I made some updates to the user profile. I've introduced the capability to sort and filter content. Additionally, I've implemented a new feature allowing content filtering based on a specified date range, which is now operational across all views.

RTR#31 Further refactoring, update Symfony to 6.4 and other deps
Today, I continue preparations for refactoring. Szymon updated the environment and added a spoiler tag in the markdown editor. Additionally, there were several fixes and improvements related to collections and the People page....
RTR#30 Monthly recap and planned next steps
Today, I added a box of related/random collections - I must admit that the ones you created are fantastic. Collection names can be repeated since they are user-assigned. I added the option to mark a collection as official - those with the highest number of followers in a given topic and with a specific name can be marked and...

RTR#28 New homepage options, improved aggregate view, Support Us box
Today, I added new user customization options for the homepage, including the ability to set a new view. The Aggregate view is now featured in the main navigation under "All content," making it easier to navigate. Thanks for all the tips and feedback - great job ;)...
RTR#27 Aggregate view, work on federation
Today, a test version of the aggregate view has been introduced on the instance. It's a mix of threadiverse and microblog formats, applying all filters, blacklists, sub filters, languages etc. After selecting *, the links to sub, mod, fav change, and navigation works within the aggregate view....
RTR#26 Configuration of the work environment and aggregate view
Today, a quick log from the day. Lots of configuring test environments that I'll be working on for the next few months. This also includes testing a new method of creating instances for Docker....
RTR#25 Further performance improvements (user page, tag page), marking new comments
Today, I worked on the user and tag pages to make them operate a bit faster and consume fewer hardware resources. Additionally, I implemented the first iteration of marking new comments in visited threads and posts. This is a test change and will be improved over the next few days. It's progressing a bit faster than I initially...
RTR#22 Further improvements interspersed with code refactoring
Today, I fixed some visual shortcomings. It is now possible to change images during post editing. The rules of the magazine have been included in the description on Fediverse to avoid misunderstandings with Lemmy users. Some changes are already on the instance, and the rest will be pushed by morning....
RTR#21 Sub channel filters, spoiler tag
Today, I added the subscription channel filtering option, allowing users to individually select content from subscribed users, magazines, and domains. This feature will be further improved over time. In addition to the sidebar, this option can also be changed in the user settings, which have also been slightly redesigned....
RTR#20 Fix communication with the Threadiverse, new Support Us page
Today, I fixed the communication with Lemmy instances that partially stopped working two days ago - it was related to content from internal magazines. I slightly changed the priority for tomorrow's update - first, spoiler support and the ability to filter the /sub feed by magazines, users, or domains separately will be...
/kbin RTR#19 Summary of current work and plans for the near and somewhat distant future
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:...
/kbin RTR#18 Platform optimization and internal API testing
Today marks the eighteenth day since returning to the project. During this time, I've managed to address critical areas that required optimization. This will be noticeable in the page loading speed and overall user experience. It's about halfway through my intended optimization efforts, but for now, I'm satisfied with the...
/kbin RTR#16 Update on kbin.social, performance improvements, considerations for enabling API
Today, with the assistance of @piotrsikora, we've updated kbin.social. I also implemented a few fixes that should improve the site's performance. I'm still waiting for a few metrics, and then I'll try to enable the API (Piotr will probably want to strangle me when he finds out I want to do it over the weekend ;-))...
/kbin RTR#15 Cleanup Continues, Nodeinfo 2.1 Support, KES 3.0.0
It's been two weeks since I started writing the devlog and the return to coding. I'm okay with the results. I've managed to establish the routines that were much needed. Finally, I could start organizing the code, which will undoubtedly yield results in the future. Sometimes, you need to take a step back to gain the right pace...
/kbin RTR#13 Further optimization, refactoring of static pages, new project website
Today, I continue working on optimization and eliminating weak points in the platform. The work on the "support us" page has turned into a refactoring of the mechanism of static pages, which will be usable in the future ;) I have also launched a new project website by @cody, which has been waiting for its turn for a long time....

The instance has been updated to the latest version of the code. For the next few hours, there might be issues with communication in the fediverse. We are working on it, and everything should return to normal shortly. I'll keep you updated....

It's been almost a week since I started describing my work in the devlog. I'm okay with the progress and the pace I've set for myself.
