This could be this issue https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1019 which I'm trying to gain visibility on. This thread, as well as some of the others you have posted in SC [1] [2] [3] [4], all do not show a domain. If what I've written in the issue is accurate, that means kbin.social users with any domain blocked at all will not be able to see the posts or comments. Removing all blocked domains will fix it. Right now my findings are basically posts are somehow being made with no domain, and if a user blocks any domain at all, doesn't matter what it is, that will count as true and filter it out. LMK if this helps, trying to gather as much data as I can
Here to confirm that I was having this issue too - at @e569668 's advice I unblocked a domain that I had blocked and now I am able to see a LOT more threads that I was previously unable to view in magazines. I wasn't even able to view my own threads in magazine.
It appears having ANY domain blocked erroneously filters out threads not at all associated with those domains.
Also confirming. Just unblocked what domains I had blocked, every thread giving me problems works perfect.
Edit: Should clarify, the 500 error happens still, but the threads that weren't showing up, now are.
Thanks so much for the help. I'll try to gather some evidence/anecdotes from others and get back to you soon.
And I have no idea if this helps but on Friday afternoon things seemed fine for me. I was able to post the "Edge's last match" and "Pro Wrestler Charged with Assault" threads with no issue whatsoever. Again, don't know if that helps, just want to give you as much info as I can. Thanks again.
Checking in again. Just tested what e569668 suggested and unblocked all the domains I had blocked and instantly everything works again. Can see the SQ posts you and I made, can see this one normally instead of profile stalking, can see comments, etc etc.
Given I originally thought domain blocking worked as _instance _ blocking and over the last 2 months I learned it's not, I'll live with having a few foreign-language-communities show up in All if it means everything works for now lol.
Edit: To clarify - Still getting the 500 error when trying to post, just tested on !Random again, but the thread does post, and does appear on new as I expect it to, I can see it like normal. So with domains unblocked the 500 error changes from 'fuck my life' to 'mild annoyance'.
Edit 2: And with the most wonderful timing, as I'm uploading some clips from last nights Multiverse show and typing the above edit on this comment, my streamable account gets flagged and they just killed all the videos I've uploaded over the last couple weeks. Guess I won't be posting clips after all! 🙃 This is why we can't have nice things. (and funnily enough the videos I uploaded this morning like the BC entrance, gone within seconds). Another copy of the same video posted over on Reddit by someone else, up 10h now with zero issues on a website with much more traffic than kbin, the hell lol).
Edit 3: Ok made a thread just now (6am est), no 500 error, all looking good so far.
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:
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:
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.
Thanks for the update, appreciate the info and helping get awareness / visibility on this out there. Based on what you and other people are saying I think the issues, errors on posts and empty domains, might be separate, so I've just been focusing on the empty domains / block filter issue for now. Luckily ernest and multiple devs are aware of the issue and have been posting about it so I think now we just have to wait and see, hopefully it's something not too difficult to fix
Hey, I just wanted to give you a heads up and say that I’m still having those issues. I’ve been able to post things as links as a work around, but yesterday a new problem occurred:
I can’t delete threads. And neither can one of the other mods on our sub.
Here are links to the threads:
https://kbin.social/m/SquaredCircle/t/391466/Disregard-Can-t-delete#comments
https://kbin.social/m/SquaredCircle/t/391600/Disregard-Can-t-delete#comments
And please don’t mind my, “Kbin is acting dumber than usual" comment. The show I mentioned in the OP happened yesterday and my problems seemed to worsen RIGHT before it started. Don’t take it to heart, I was very frustrated at the time and needed to vent.
And I figured it would be best to tell you this here instead of creating a new thread. If word got out that mods can’t delete threads then Kbin might have a serious issue on their hands.
I'm not exactly sure where the best place to put this information is. ernest seems quite a bit swamped with the ever growing list of todo tasks, I'm not sure if it would be better reported in the codeberg issue tracker or their matrix server. But I have no power, I'm not even a contributor, I'm nobody! So unfortunately I can't really help you out here
No worries at all. I'll try and find a proper home for my question tomorrow.
Thanks again for all your help in the past.
Also, there's a PPV starting in 15 minutes so I'm going to be a bit distracted tonight. Tomorrow I'll give that codeberg thread a good long read and report back anything I can. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
