    The boosts tab in my profile is filling with things I haven’t boosted. I know I’ve mistakenly tapped on some buttons on mobile, but even unboosting things doesn’t remove them. I tested with this thread by boosting and unboosting, and it’s now permanently in my boosts tab. Even a comment I accidentally reduced and unreduced is in that tab. I don’t understand why. I’m brand new to kbin so maybe I’m doing something wrong or unaware of something.

      Same here; I change my mind about upvotes/downvotes all the time (especially since I have the terrible habit of voting while I’m still reading the comment), but the ones I’ve done that for are still there. Heck, the first couple I see when I look at my profile are ones I did that for. Read half the comment, upvoted out of the corner of my eye while I was still reading, read the second half, went “Hoo boy, nevermind,” and un-voted.

      Related to that, upvotes/downvotes being public is a dealbreaker for me. I don’t feel safe upvoting or downvoting anything here unless it’s completely uncontroversial, because I don’t want to open myself up to harassment by people who disagree.

      I’ll hang around for a bit to see if that changes, but I’m very unlikely to stick around if it doesn’t.

      Yeah it was bothering me too but just to make people aware, someone else has reported it #47 and #152 a pr is waiting to be merged that looks to fix both issues…

    Maybe it’s a server issue with all the new traffic but is the way to not get logged out after such short periods of time/usage? Feels like any time I attempt to interact with something on kbin I have to relog in.

    Also, as someone else provided feedback on, being able to hide threads in a comment feed would be super useful. If it exists now I haven’t figured.out how to do it

    Just my initial feedback.

    @ernest It would be handy to be able to block all magazines from an entire domain without having to check every single one as new ones are trending in the global feeds. In my case feddit.de - not because antagonism but because I don’t understand German. I’d imagine this be a future issue as more language dedicated servers emerge.

      My homepage is about 60% German currently so I’d like this too. It’s a little frustrating and I can’t seem to find any options that help except for sticking to subscribed or local.

    Just came here from reddit, so I’m not sure if this is the best place to post this but anyway… Usernames when logging in are case sensitive. This should not be the case because
    #1 it’s very confusing (I could not figure out why my password was constantly wrong even after resetting it, until i remembered some comment from someone on reddit about case sensitive login issues on some website and tried changing the first letter of my username to lowercase, then it finally worked). I haven’t seen any other website work like this.
    #2 you’re basically allowing people to impersonate others if user account creation thinks usernames with different capitalization are unique names.

    Btw, there should be an “Add comment” or “Reply” button up top on the post. At first i thought the thread was locked since there wasn’t a reply button, but then i remembered some old forums put it at the bottom of the page, so i scrolled to the bottom, still no reply button. I had to scroll back up through like 4 screens worth of useless footer clutter before i finally found a comment area. This is going to decrease engagement and growth. (I’m on mobile btw). I even tapped on the + button on top to try to add a comment but there was no option. Same with the More button on the post (though it shouldn’t be hidden in a More menu since it’s a core feature).

    Has anyone else stopped receiving notifications? I haven’t gotten any notifications the past couple of days even though my notifications are all turned on.

    Maybe I don’t understand but my reputation points always say negative. I did the math myself, i have lots more updoots than dislikes. Am i not understanding reputation maybe?

    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.

      I agree. Once a comment gets like 20 replies it can be pretty unreadable. Have my updoot.

    Blocking a magazine does not keep it from appearing on your sidebar random thread/post feed. I blocked an NSFW mag and reloaded the page and it was still present.

    Hello there!

    In my feed all pictures are stretched, is this a product of the layout? Can I change this somehow? I am using the progressive web app on Android.

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

        Both. I’m using the site on mobile and on desktop, not an app. My settings reflect that my default feed is set to Subscribed, but it gets reset to All whenever I go back to the home page, regardless of whether I change it to Subscribed from the home page or in the settings.

        I’m having the exact same issue - home is set to ‘subscribed’ but when I go there it shows ‘all’. I’m getting this on mobile (both Chrome and DDG).

    This comment thread is behaving very strangely right now: comments with the same ID are showing up multiple times in different places, and I just received a notification about a reply that I don’t see in the thread.

    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.

    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.
