Before the latest kbin UI refresh there was an issue where the magazine logo's aspect ratio was altered and the pictures looked squished, but that was easy to fix using some CSS....
Most Fediverse software supports image uploads, so there's no reason to use Imgur for image hosting. Hell, even on my small single-user server (atomicpoet.org), image hosting is easy peasy. Not only is Imgur not needed, they're an annoyance for those of us who are used to seeing images natively on the Fediverse....
Imgur doesn't work with vpns. To view your meme post I have to got through steps to disable either my work or private VPNs. At this point the end result is I just don't bother.
Apparently one of the lemmy.ml admins was overzealous in banning all User-Agent strings that contained the word "bot". Bans were entered for all of the individual strings containing that word which were observed in their webserver logs, which impacted kbin's reported agent of "kbinBot"....
The posts in Kbin don't seem to move much the last few days I've been using it, but if I go somewhere like lemmy.world the content is always pretty fresh...
Yeah. PHP is not a speed limiting factor unless you're calculating Pi to X million digits. Almost everything about ActivityPub is limited by network IO.
When you login initially it offers to follow all your Instagram follows. Even if they've never logged in. Its creating shadow accounts for all of them.
When they login initially they find they already have a bunch of followers.
So it's not all of Instagram. It's just all the people who've tried it + all the people they tried to follow.
I heard that votes have been changed to behave closer to how people would expect, and boost is staying here as well. So I had an idea how to bring it all together in the interface....
I like the overal effect but it's hiding the true nature of boosting.
Boosting shares a piece of content with your followers. Favouriting does not. Kbin does not yet contain a follower feed, but it is planned. This is what that looks like on Mastodon:
Not really suspicion at this point. They are proveably 403 rejecting requests from the KBin useragent. You have the letters "kbinbot" anywhere in your useragent (case insensitive) you ain't getting content.
As a bonus they're still sending out stuff to instances though. But since KBin can't then resolve it it amounts to a DoS attack as the messages just build up in KBin retry queues.
Fortunately, on Mastodon at least, you can set a per person ignore/hide on boosts. Very helpful if they do good posts but are generally spammy with boosts.
Imgur have quite recently blocked my VPN (privately hosted, not mainstream). They don't like non-domestic IPs accessing their service it appears. I fear the only way to fix this is not to attempt to pull and cache imgur images :(
The law: You can't collect data without consent
The intent: Sites stop collecting data without consent
Sites interpretation: So I ask for consent right? right??
Kbin magazine's image is squished. Not a CSS issue.

Is KBin really slow to update on posts from other federated instances?

OC Assuming boost stays as some sort of a super-upvote/share combo alongside regular up/downvote buttons, here's a UI idea on how to merge it into one unified voting system. App animation + web block mockup

What hostname do you use for server? home.box or home.local?
There are many DNS names options. Which one do you use?
Edit: TIL it doesn't matter if you make your community on Lemmy or kbin, they're federated and will have equal exposure
Thanks everyone for the help....
What happens to orphaned communities when their host instance dies?
Do they get adopted by other instances? Are they still accessible from other instances? Can you still post on them from another instance?...

It is the most unsatisfying feature on kbin....
