This is not a good first impression.

  • 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.





  • 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.
