Fedia Discussions

Steve Huffman, the Reddit CEO, told NBC News in an interview that a user protest on the site this week is led by a minority of moderators and doesn’t have wide support.

In other news, Reddit CEO confirms status as clueless ass-clown....

Steve Huffman said in an interview that Elon Musk's cost-cutting at Twitter was inspiring and that the two have chatted "a handful of times."

I believe all of the image problems are solved now....

Fedia has issues. Some of them I can fix, some of them I can't yet fix. The server's CPUs are maxed with caddy federation requests, probably among other issues....

The issue with broken images seems to be getting far worse, and that is the cause of the error 500's. kbin doesn't just skip a missing image, it just dies when trying to render a page. If I don't null out the incorrect database entries often enough, darn near everything starts breaking. I have yet to figure out why this is...

After really hosing things up yesterday, I seem to have solved at least some of the image problems. Not all of them. I rebuilt the mercure and messenger configs from the ground up using the most recent bare metal config templates and that seems to have helped. Also, I continue to live on the edge with the development channel...

I am hesitant to say that I have good news or that I have fixed anything......

First, I want to thank those who pointed me to mbin. I spent about 14 hours today with help from the mbin team on and off and found/fixed many problems....

Just a quick and dirty userscript to add some features I feel are super important. I'll probably look into creating some real PRs, but I figure the devs are probably in "put out fires" mode right now.

ok.... I think I have this thing beaten....

I appreciate your continued patience. Today I applied a few additional fixes, including to nginx, which were contributing to the error 500’s. The good news is that the only errors I see in the kbin app logs are related to inbound post federation from lemmy-based instances. I am sure there are many more issues to, but I’m...

So here's the deal with kbin: kbin uses of symphony messenger processes, which are roughly equivalent to sidekiq in mastodon....

As the title says, inbound federation isn't working. I've identified what I believe is the problem and working to fix it.

Take this post, for instance:...

I spent an incredible amount of time over the past few days unf*cking the fedia.io database. It should be clean now and that should both dramatically improve performance and fix all or most all of the remaining error 500’s

Reddit users have been protesting proposed changes to the site’s API.

I've been trying to subscribe to magazines/communities from lemmy.ca....

There's a button when creating a thread which says "OC" with no further explanation. I've seen "OC" noted to the left of thread titles, presumably because somebody has ticked "OC". What does it mean??!

When clicking on an image it gets stuck loading the image. Opening the image link directly results in a 404. It seems that for some reason there is a /media missing in the url(?)....

A small doubt I have....

The server fedia.io had been running on started developing stability problems overnight from Thursday April 4 to Friday April 5. By Saturday (today), the system was completely unbootable. After attempting to resolve the hardware issue with Hetzner (the ISP) for about 6 hours, I gave up and moved the site to a new server. All...

Fedia.io is now running on it's own stand-alone server. This server is costing me $210/month, so any contributions are welcome. Please let me know of any issues.

While I’m skeptical there are many people still using fedia.io, I have been continue to try to fix the error 500 problems. These errors are caused by kbin thinking it stored database records with pointers to images (like the avatar image, images attached to posts and the like) but not actually finishing. So when certain...
