    Is this thread monitored? Asking because, from what I observed, that federated Hexbear(dot)net users and communities don’t seem to be possible to block. Or should I use the contact form?

      I’ve noticed this too. Is there any workaround? Some Hexbear users are egregious and clutter up posts with meaningless noise.

        Since this appear to be the most proper thread, I’ll keep posting as I see issue. Hopefully a staff member will see the bug reports, then.

    I have an issue with creating threads on federated magazines, it does not appear on the remote server, but does here.

    Just browsing new and came across the MAP (“minor and youth attracted people”) magazine from rqd2.net, most of the active people there are using the same instance. I will be blocking the instance as best I know how, but I think defederating might be the safest bet.

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

      Ever find a fix for this? News videos keep autoplaying for me on Firefox mobile, even before I scroll to the post in the feed

        Sadly I haven’t yet, the same think happens to me, random news videos autoplaying, even when not on screen yet. I’m fairly confident there’s no setting to turn off video autoplay on kbin. Sadly even if you tell Firefox to not autoplay videos the videos continue to play, the Firefox mobile settings seem to be limited in that respect though.

        I wonder if turning it of on the desktop browser site settings and then syncing will fix it.

          Hrmm I think I have automedia preview set to on. I’ve turned it off and will see if this fixes it. I say think as the UI for the kbin page settings isn’t super clear what’s on and what’s off …

            Err well that maybe worked but it also stopped all images loading in the feed so not really helpful

              Yes, I think that’s where the problem may lie, loading images has been intertwined with video autoplay

    Been having a problem recently (and intermittently) where when I upvote a comment it goes to a page that says Error and I have to go back to the previous thread, refresh it, and then the upvote works.

    Notification issue I ran across today - a person can delete a message in a thread leaving “deleted by author” but the message still shows up in notifications (or part of it since notifications cuts them off at some point).

    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)?

    I can’t see pinned posts at the moment. It seems like I can see them if I log out. I can’t seem to find a setting that would cause this that I could have changed to cause it.

    Is anyone else still seeing federated posts even when you turn the federation status to off? I was trying to hide some of the excess meme posts that are coming from other servers. But turning off federation does not make all of them go away. Some federated posts are still being shown.
