although @sheodox hasn't had any activity here recently, that doesn't necessarily mean he's not active. also, there might be other people who had the same issue and found a solution, which there probably is one if this just started recently.
or maybe there won't be a response, but you won't find out if you don't try.
@PugJesus, you might have been posting only for LW users for a while :-/
this is unfortunately correct for the time being.
while we still have aggressive rate limits in place to limit federation impact from kbin bugs, which started with the measures that @sunaurus mentioned, this wouldn't impact activities coming from lemmy.world towards kbin.social.
while kbin.social used to break down every now and then based on what i saw people comment, service was typically restored within a short period of time. more recently however, any time i've looked at kbin.social in the past couple weeks, it's only been showing an error page. i suspect it may have been unavailable the entire time, not just at the times i looked at it. looking at our federation stats, the last successfully sent activity from lemmy.world to kbin.social was dated 2024-06-18 00:12:25 UTC, although the actual send date may have been later. successful is also not necessarily guaranteed, as some error codes might be misinterpreted as success due to how servers can be set up and how response status codes are interpreted on the sending side.
if activities sent from lemmy.world don't reach kbin.social then the posts and comments won't be relayed to other instances. this is generally an issue in activitypub when instances are down, as such "orphaned" (at the time) communities effectively become local-only communities, isolated islands on all instances that already know about them.
at this point, the last time we've received an activity submission (federation traffic) from kbin.social as on 18th of June, so it seems like it was working for some time on that day and has been broken since.
at the start of this month, @ernest (kbin.social owner, main kbin dev) said that he was going to hand over management of kbin.social to someone else, as he's currently unable to take care of it. presumably this hasn't happened yet.
Ok, so I've been here almost two months now. And I'm a frequent commenter. What I have noticed is that almost every single comment I make gets exactly 1 downvote. Regardless of where, regardless of content. Doesn't matter what I say. I could say "Puppies are snuggly!" and it would get one downvote....
this doesn't seem to be targeted against you, just someone not liking the comment. some people order their feed by e.g. active, so such cases will show up quickly.
So, not sure if I am completely off base here, but I had this odd thing happen today where I couldn't post an URL because whenever I did, part of it would be replaced with the text removed. You can see what I am talking about in the screenshot, and I am linking my comment below. Another commenter replied saying it was likely...

I started a community on this instance, and when I view it from other instances, it doesn't show any upvotes or comments. Is there any way to fix it? the community is !linerider
I'm still new to how lemmy works exactly but why does trying to delete a post not actually remove it? It's still fully viewable so are you not able to delete posts on here at all? I'm a bit confused.
This is addressed in the upcoming Lemmy release 0.19.4 where contents will no longer be included in API responses. Until then it's up to clients to actually hide it. Content is kept for a few days to allow you to undo deletion, but you can also edit your content before deleting it to remove that. There is also a scheduled task running once a week I believe that will replace contents of deleted comments with something like PERMANENTLY DELETED.
Regardless, as Lemmy is a public platform, you should be aware that people may be storing this information on linked platforms regardless and may not respect the edits/deletions at all.
Lately I'm seeing this more and more where posts have comments that will refuse to load. It seems like the issue is getting progressively worse. Right now, I'm using the Alexandrite front end but the default has the same issue where comments don't load.
is this consistently happening with the same posts?
Do you see comments when you try the same post again later?
You mentioned this happens with both the default front end and also with Alexandrite, does it happen with the same posts on both of them?
Can you reproduce this in a private browser window?
If you can, would you mind sharing a post that this is happening with so we can take a look?
It would also be useful to see the associated error message.
I'm not sure if there are certain images on here causing this popup to appear or what, and I wonder if someone can help me figure this out.

Lemmy.World is legally primarily bound by the countries listed here.
if being gay became illegal in NL for example, and there would be laws to prevent talking about gay people, then we'd have to either no longer tolerate such content on our platform or ensure we're no longer bound by dutch laws.
Lemmy.World is legally primarily bound by the countries listed here.
If we get a request, of course we will evaluate that request.
When it comes to taking down content, such as copyright infringing content, we may err on the side of caution to reduce the legal risk we're exposing ourselves to.
Moving the instance behind Tor and hoping to never get identified?
As long as you're operating a service on the internet you'll be bound by laws in one place or another. The only thing you can do against this is trying to avoid being identified and therefore trying to evade prosecution. This is not a legal defense.
We do question the validity of claims, but when it comes to takedowns of copyright related content, we simply do not have the resources to throw money at lawyers to evaluate this in detail. We can apply common sense to determine if something appears to be a reasonable request, but we can't pay a lawyer to evaluate every single request. We also can't afford going to court over every case, even if we were to win, because those processes take large amounts of personal time and have a risk of significant penalties.
Legal advocates on Lemmy or any other platform for that matter are not a substitution for legal council.

Hey all,...
What's changed in the Alexandrite interface?
If I bring up things like mail or a post in a new tab, I have to go into Login/Manage Accounts and choose my account to do anything in that tab.
