With the abandonment of Artemis (formerly kmoon), kbin is now only really usable by the mobile site. The site is really not suited for mobile devices however, and there have been minimal user-facing changes in the last few months....
Well, for the span tags, I haven't seen other tags being an issue. If you see a code block where the same issue occurs with other tags, tell me so I can update it.
If there is another Reddit exodus, for example, or if we get a surge due to the Threads thing, I feel like many will just turn back due to the UI alone.
I don't know if ernest's views changed since the last exodus, but iirc people joining the platform wasn't really his intention, it just happened. Kbin hasn't even had a proper full release yet, it's still beta software, so I don't think people bouncing off is that big an issue yet.

That's the case for now, but app development is still happening with other projects:
ernest has mentioned intentions to revive his kbin app project
@Melpomene At the moment, I'm tackling this issue, and several magazines now boast a fresh set of moderators. I'm also fine-tuning tools for moderators, including those on a global scale, and in the upcoming days, I plan to seek assistance from the right individuals to assemble a top-notch moderator team.
/kbin is certainly not dying, as @fr0g pointed out, work on new features and bug fixes is ongoing. However, it may give the impression that it is, and for that, I take full responsibility and owe you an explanation....
it's not trolling or spam, it's just me being a fucking idiot. my apologies. i had two domains blocked, and in doing so, triggered a bug which kbin users sometimes run into, that being specifically not seeing comments if they have any domains blocked, i had two, i deleted the blocks on the domains, and presto, like magic i can see comments. no spam, just stupidity, mine.
Check if your issue is https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1019
the last few posts to this magazine have all been people saying they can't view posts / comments when logged in but can when logged out (which you might not be able to see of course if it is this issue, as they were all posts and not links). Try removing all blocked domains to see if you can see them again.
Edit: To be clear, this is to fix being able to see the posts after the error, not fixing the error. My current working theory is:
users on kbin.social get an error when posting. the post is made, but with an empty domain field
kbin.social users with any domains blocked, regardless of what they are, will not be able to see the post or comments if they open the post via url
One of our other top CC’s couldn’t see the thread and they’re on kbin.social
This could be this issue https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1019 which I'm trying to gain visibility on. This thread, as well as some of the others you have posted in SC [1][2][3][4], all do not show a domain. If what I've written in the issue is accurate, that means kbin.social users with any domain blocked at all will not be able to see the posts or comments. Removing all blocked domains will fix it. Right now my findings are basically posts are somehow being made with no domain, and if a user blocks any domain at all, doesn't matter what it is, that will count as true and filter it out. LMK if this helps, trying to gather as much data as I can
Edit: tl;dr remove all blocked domains to be able to see posts / comments with no domain (like this one)
Oop, that issue specifically is definitely this https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1019. I posted it in this thread more details but, I imagine you might not be able to see any of my comments in this thread. If you do see this post, definitely check out https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/361909 (while logged out because you also won't be able to see that thread logged in)
Ok, this is a weird problem I’ve had happened twice now. I make a post (one was to a kbin magazine, one to a lemmy community), and I’ll get notifications that there are comments. But when I go to the post to look at them, it will say “5 comments” but show none of them and say there are no comments. But, if I log out, I...
Check out https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1019 to see if it's similar to what other people have posted about recently: tl;dr blocking domains appears to filter out posts / comments even when those domains are not involved in the post. I'll repost what I put in one of the threads:
If posts are disappearing when you're logged in but not when logged out, it should be something like that: either a language filter, federation turned off, or a blocked community you might not expect filtering it out. You can double check by unblocking domains/magazines to see if any of them return comments, though that might be troublesome with many blocked.
Since then, over 230 pull requests have been accepted. I had a branch where I was working on this, but a lot of code has changed in the meantime - among other things, ex the markdown implementation has been rewritten and, in fact, some of it is now outdated. Many files will still change and be rewritten before the release.
Before the first release, it will be done properly, and I will probably seek help and consultation from the right people https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/937. Currently, in the project's readme, I've clearly indicated that kbin is inspired by Postmill. Unfortunately, recently I've been overwhelmed by some personal matters, which caused me to neglect certain things. Now I'm doing everything to bring kbin to the appropriate state.
I was having trouble posting - I could comment but if I tried to post, it would always send me to the error page and the post would show up on my profile, but not on the mag I was trying to post it to. I renewed my IP address and that seems to have fixed the problem. Just sharing this if anyone else has the same issue, it might...

Sorry if this has already been asked, but is there a way to know if kbin is or is not federated with another instance? I know there is a way to block domains by typing in https://your kbin instance/d/domain you want to block and blocking them from there, but is there a way to see a list of instances defederated by default?...
Is there any chance that we can get a weekly/biweekly, or periodic, update on what is new with kbin? @ernest has done a couple in the past. I doubt I would be the only one interested in hearing what is new or what is coming down the pipe more on a regular basis....
Hey, that's the plan. After the first release, the status update will probably be every two weeks. Currently, I'm struggling with the preparation of the release, it's taking up a lot of my time because I have many changes to integrate. On top of that, I've been going through a tough period in my personal life, but I've overcome it and starting from Monday, I'll be giving it my 100%. Contributors continue to be active, and their assistance is invaluable to me. To make matters worse, I have to deal with waves of spam that have recently surfaced on kbin.social, which you've probably noticed. Stay tuned ;)
Currently, all I need is a bit more time ;) I'm gradually granting additional permissions and sharing responsibility with contributors. We still need to establish a some policy. If it speeds up work on /kbin, I'm okay with that. They are great and experienced developers. However, it's important to remember that they all do this in their free time.
Porn is always the trailblazer. Without the demand for porn we wouldn’t have had VHS (and hence the whole concept of video on demand in your home), or instant credit card payment gateways.
I guess what I’m trying to say is: an unhealthy amount of porn = a healthy community.
Most of the communities I'm interested in are on lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc where they have a large activity there, but the UI/UX of kbin is what's holding me here....
