Is there a way to stop videos and audio from autoplaying? Browsing kbin on Firefox mobile and it keeps randomly playing some unknown audio.

I find it annoying that the only way to see my subscribbed "magazines" is to go into my profile and then find the section for subscribbed. Reddit always did it so effeciently where you have your subscribbed subreddits on top or in a drop down menu in the case of the new reddit.

My home feed keeps getting reset to "All" even though I changed the home feed to "subscribed" in settings. Am I missing something?

Hello Mr @ernest

I think this is an issue, or perhaps I'm missing something somewhere?

When I receive a reply notification and click the person's reply comment, it doesn't take me to the comment in the thread, but rather to the beginning, and I have to scroll through the conversation to find my post and the replies to it. Unless I'm doing something wrong, this is going to become problematic in large active threads.

I click on their words in the notification message (as the timestamp is not a link), the comment highlights and even shows the comment number in the link for the post, but does not take me to it, even if I right-click/open in a new tab. Someone in another thread suspects this happens once the thread/and comment moves onto the second page of the thread (but making it infinate scroll doesn't fix it either).

edit: I should add that I'm on Desktop

I'm sure you're aware there has been an issue with people/bots spamming CP on some lemmy instances, I'm not sure if I happened to see them before removal, or if removal still isn't federating properly (since I know the admins/mods have been trying to implement additional solutions), either way, these posts were still showing up on all/new last night/early this morning (GMT), so it might just be worth double checking on your end if there is any way to stop this.

I visited a post with 130 comments in which I participated before. None of the comments show up and I don't know why. It's not the first time that this happens. Am I doing something wrong? I'm browsing from Firefox mobile.

Been seeing a lot of lazy spamming the past few days as I browse newest, all Kbin users. I report them, but they are numerous and it gets tedious. Maybe some tightening up of new registrations should be done? Has there been an uptick on new users lately like Lemmy had a while back?

Added: I figured out where the titles are coming from. They are lifted off search engine prompts like recent Google searches, which explains why some of them are so odd.

It's become impossible to browse by new thanks to an army of spam bots.

Every time I sort by new, there are several new groups of 3-5 new users posting to "random" all at once (so 12-15 spam posts for every 5-10 legit posts), I haven't risked the click, but it's a lot of promises of nudes or gold, or celebrity names, you know, bait.

I'll block and report one post from each user as spam, but that seems pointless when there's a seemingly endless stream of them popping up.

My feed sorted by new now, 8 of the 10 first posts are these bots:

Is there anyway to stop this (beyond blocking m/random which I've now done but don't want to)?

[Issue] Subscribing to magazines from the @readit.buzz domain makes the page redirect to the 50x error page. Despite the error, subscribing still turns out successful.

The issue I had with Up/Down Vote, and Boost throwing errors appears to be resolved. Huzzah!!!

The most important feature needed is comments sorting by TOP. The microblog page already has this. Why not post pages?

Just a heads up - since the recent updates, on desktop, clicking on link preview in a comment will make the link and the little icon disappear but no preview loads: https://files.catbox.moe/o41qu7.jpg
Clicking the link itself opens it in a new tab as normal.

Can't seem to hide threads at all. Would love to see this, or have up/downvoted threads also dissapear like the reddit functionality has.

The page to manage moderators is broken and returns 503 Service Unavailable. It has been doing this for at least a week. I'm unable to add moderators to the magazines that I created as a result and I could use some help on some of them.

For example: https://kbin.social/m/TodayILearned/moderators

I tried in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and curl. curl returns:

< HTTP/2 503

Any word on when this might be resolved?

Can someone tell me why some instances aren't updating?

For example, https://kbin.social/m/manga@lemmy.ml only displays posts a week old but if you go directly to that instance, you can see posts posted a few hours ago.

@crystals.rest domains also have issues subscribing, redirecting to a 50x error page despite successfully being subscribed to.
