Haven't been able to post to other servers for a long time now (kbin.social)

I have been trying to make threads on wayfarershaven.eu, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org and lemmy.world. For weeks. Comments work but links/photos/posts do not. They obviously never actually make it to the instance... sometimes I can delete them, sometimes I can't.

Initially I was just testing on lemmy.world and assumed it had to do with their constantly going down due to bot and DDOS attacks, but it seems like this must be a kbin problem.

It's becoming pretty tiring. I don't really want to bother participating anymore if I'll never be able to post anywhere other than kbin.social.

It looks like the post to personalfinance doesn't show up in the threads section of your profile, but it does show up in the overview. So that's weird.

Usually when a thread or comment fails to propagate to other instances, you can edit it to force a retry. Maybe that would help here.

In general, for bug mitigation:

  • Don't block any domains, otherwise random stuff will get hidden
  • After making a post, go to the "newest" view and upvote it so that it actually gets sorted correctly in the "hot" view instead of buried
  • The error that you get when posting doesn't seem to affect anything, the post still gets made
