There is not much getting posted, it is becoming emptier and emptier.

It feels like that party where I was one of the first people in, then people came and it was cool, and then suddenly it’s nearly empty.

    I don’t use any Lemmy instance any more, seeing as how I couldn’t make myself ok with having named that fediverse constellation after a man who owned the largest personal collection of Nazi memorabilia in the world.

    I’ve been using KBIN, and even though it’s founder and main coder put out an update last week as to why maintenance and development of KBIN has been slow to the point of seeming as if it’s stopped all together, it still bothers me that I can’t block a domain (without losing the ability to see posts comments … it’s a known bug) and I can’t block sub/magazines/whatever from places like lemmyworld and hexbear (amongst others), can’t drill down on my own comments under my profile to see replies, and notifications though racking up, and showing the increasing number, can’t be accessed at all only showing the error we’re working on it page (this has gone on for a month now).

    So, yeah, it’s becoming less interesting the longer these issues aren’t addressed, and there are far too many children running around the fediverse (god help us when the idiot right wingers figure out how to onboard) without the ability to block at will.

    Hey, it’s all free, and the developers are all doing this gratis, out of the goodness of their hearts, and I appreciate that, I needed an excuse to shitcan reddit, as things are much much worse there, by design for engagement, just not in love with KBIN, and I guess that could change once it becomes more functional.

      I don’t see any of the notification problems, I assume you’ve tried logging out and logging back in again? Closing any kbin tabs and restarting your browser? Checked if disabling your adblocker for the site makes a difference?

      One good news about the Notifications issue is that it only affects the single “page” of the comment that caused it (I think when a mod on another instance removes a post thus different parts of Kbin “see” it - the notification counter - while other parts cannot see it hence it crashes itself). But when enough other notifications rack up that are not affected, it falls behind to page 2 and you can begin using notifications again.

      Until it happens again with a new content and the cycle repeats. But my notifications are now permanently stuck at just 1 (or more but that 1 at least can never be removed) and I can use my notifications again… for now.
