@ernest
thank you! tags from kbin do federate on microblogging fedi - kbin users should use the the tags section rather than the text body though
i also had a look at friendica; sadly, friendica seems not to be capable to pick up tagged posts from kbin > see e.g. https://friendica.opensocial.space/search?tag=kbin > tried my luck at several friendica instances, and every time: no content from kbin
tags in kbin threads do not display on kbin pwa, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/kbinDevlog/t/692551 > on microblogging fedi platforms, i can see three tags: kbin, fediverse, and kbinDevlog for the magazine > with kbin pwa, neither kbin nor fediverse show up
Hi @maegul, I just wanted to let you know. It's not perfect yet, but it's something I'll be working on in the coming months after the first release. Thanks for pointing it out, it's a relatively simple change, but it makes a significant difference in the overall experience.
@ernest Woah, this makes a heck of a difference. That's powerful!
I love the way that kbin gives you far more options to sort the Microblog feed than, say, Mastodon.
Most popular posts (by people I'm subscribed to) from the last week. Go. Boom!
Today, I will be slightly less available as I am in the final stages of taking care of all the formalities, and I also had to handle a few personal matters. Starting tomorrow, I will be back at full capacity again. When this succeeds, in the next releases, I will focus more on frontend and accessibility.
We're experiencing massive delays on the queues today. We're actively working on a solution, and I think we're getting really close. Just wanted to let you know ;)
Hey, I'll try to handle the abandoned magazines / transfers as quickly as possible. However, I need to automate this process because there are too many requests.
@ernest Hello. After your done with this process, have you considered making a magazine called /m/kbinRequests where people can apply to takeover abandoned magazines? Thank you for your work.
Oh man, it's the first time in my life I'm going to a meeting with friends with a laptop in my backpack. Give me a call if you need a server restart or smth ;-)
Alright, it was a long night for me. But I'm going to bed fully satisfied. It seems like I've uncovered most of the issues that were only visible at this scale. I temporarily fixed critical things, and in two days, a update will be released that will preevnt such troubles for some time.
I have increased the server parameters a bit. If there are still issues, there is still the option of an upgrade but still... it's a budget VPS, and it requires a few minutes of downtime for the website. I'll keep an eye on it, and I apologize for the unexpected interruption. I have temporarily disabled upvotes and boosts auto-refresh as well. I will check how much it will relieve the server.
@ernest if you can handle it financially, my advice is to do a maor upgrade now -- and in any case, post some contribution links so that people can help out.
kbin's getting enough buzz that you're going to get a LOT of interest over the next few days so you might as well try to get ahead of the curve.
@ernest If you're planning on opening donations for server hosting now might be the time, lots of people coming in from Reddit and I'm getting a lot of error 500s. Good luck in the upcoming storm.
