Issue with "upvoting" too many comments in a remote thread?

Issue with "upvoting" too many comments in a remote thread?

I came across this thread (https://kbin.social/m/support@lemmy.world/t/241964/Reporting-user-for-harassment#comments) in my feed, and after upvoting a couple of comments, I kept getting an error when I tried to upvote Op's comment (which, perhaps ironically, is a user from kbin). In troubleshooting, I found that:

  1. Refreshing did not solve the issue

  2. I could go to the user page for the kbin user in question, and successfully upvote the comment from the default view (overview page) there.

If it matters, I'm on Firefox mobile for Android 13. Uncertain if this is because of the count of upvoted comments in a single thread, or some interaction between kbin.social user upvoting another kbin.social user in a remote thread.

For some reason, I’m not seeing the ability to add profile information on my Kbin profile. When I go to my profile, it seems to be empty. Am I just missing the edit button? I have wandered through the settings pretty extensively and just can't seem to find it. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Keep getting error 404 when opening a remote lemmy community

Keep getting error 404 when opening a remote lemmy community

I'm trying to subscribe to this lemmy community: https://lemmy.nix-community.org/c/nix
But when I try to open on kbin (https://kbin.social/m/nix@lemmy.nix-community.org) I get error 404. Why? Are there any fixes/workarounds?

Two questions about / issues with Kbin UI regarding expanding and collapsing comments.

Two questions about / issues with Kbin UI regarding expanding and collapsing comments.

There's two very annoying user interface elements that prevent me from getting comfortable with KBin. I'm not sure if these are settings, or bugs on my browser, or what.

One: Every top-level comment in every thread is showing an expand button that hides a lot of the text. So it's not really possible to read a lot of comments without going through an entire post and selecting this button on every comment. I understand this is useful for very long comments but it's hiding comments that are only one line of text. Screenshot linked below because the image attachment element disappears when I stop hovering over it.

Two: On Reddit and Lemmy, there's a button in the interface to collapse a thread and its replies. I'm not seeing that in Kbin.

how do i tag / link to a magazine properly?

how do i tag / link to a magazine properly?

hello,

i do use

@ magazine @ kbin.social (does work),
while @m/magazine | m/magazine doesn't work.

but if a user with this @ exist in the fediverse, it does try to link to the user instead of the magazine?

here an example: @lain

another way would to be simply [link] but isn't there a easier way?

is there a post/site where things like this are clarified? didn't found one yet.

:)

Can I add favorites? Is it by my interactions with the magazines? Thanks for the help!

How do I subscribe to a non-Kbin community?

How do I subscribe to a non-Kbin community?

I'm trying to find the main Lemmy.world showerthoughts sub (15k subscribers) but only finding a far smaller one (300 subscribers).

Edit: Apparently they're the same community.

Is there a way to set a Default sort for Threads or Comments?

Is there a way to set a Default sort for Threads or Comments?

Currently it seems like the default sort for Threads is "Top". The sort options are: Top / Hot / Newest / Active / Commented, which can be selected once you view a thread. It would be a handy feature to set a Default sort option for Threads and/or Comments (for example, Newest).

How do I delete my account?

How do I delete my account?

I’ve been trying to delete my current kbin account because I don’t wanna use it. I realised that I actually don’t need it and want to stick to using my Mastodon account for everything, but it seems like I can’t just have it be deleted? I tried to request deletion, but I neither got an email as a confirmation that anything is being processed, nor has my account been deleted and it’s been days since the request and I’ve tried requesting it multiple times since then.

From my understanding of the GDPR, this seems to be a direct violation of my right to erasure, however, I’m gonna be gentle and blame the current circumstances on the alpha state of the software (even though this shouldn’t have been an afterthought).

Does anyone know how I could get this settled?
Thanks 😊

Why is my kbin in polish when im not from there or have selected any language. How do I change this. Really dumb that the website assumes im polish rather than have a change language option do that.
