Fedia Discussions

I have ensured that I am not subscribed to any mags on centralized instances. E.g....

Looking at the (short!) list of defederated instances, I tried looking through this magazine to read about what caused some of the defederation actions -- unfortunately it looks like some of that information might've been lost in the mbin migration and subsequent cleanup?...

Hi all. I am going to be taking fedia.io offline for a bit today to move to a new server, switch to a containerized version, and some other enhancements. Thanks for patience.

I was happily working on a different set of servers when apparently the database server for fedia.io became unresponsive. Once I realized it, I forced a reboot and everything is back to normal. Now that the code and database are stable(ish), I will be moving the site to actual server hardware in the coming days while I have...

I've noticed that recent submissions made in both @LoLFanArt and @FloatingIsFun don't seem to have federated out:...

Hello everyone. I will be taking fedia.io offline in a few hours (timing dependent on work meetings) to apply the latest mbin updates, which should, among other things, fix 2FA....

Is anyone else having the QR image not generate when trying to setup two-factor authentication?

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

I cannot view the “we’re back” thread -- just get the error 500....

I saw other reports in the recent call for problems of errors around searching, but this seems, to me at least, to be reproducible....

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....

The timeline from:...

On a couple of different devices -- each using an independent internet connection -- I've been having unusually poor performance on Fedia for at least the past several hours, with very long load times (sometimes timing out individual assets), and poor responsiveness on actions like submit/reply etc, ironically including when...

I tried to comment in this thread:...

This link gives a 404 error:...

I wanted to post to m/Belgium on kbin.social, so I went to:...

It’s not subscriptions apparently because nothing I see there is from a subscribed channel....

This is what it looks like when avatar is disabled in the #kbin profile and images are disabled in the browser. The avatar is converted into the text address of the author -- which is a great idea. But then the HTML apparently uses a table or something and makes the left column as small as possible for the object. This means 1...

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...

Nothing posted from Lemmy to a Fedia magazine is federating out to that magazine/community on other Lemmy instances. I don't think it is working for kbin either....

Sorry to report here, let me know if there is a better place to put these....

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 wrote a lengthy reply to someone. Clicked “add comment” to submit it. A wheel spun then quit spinning. Nothing else happened. The text box remained there with my msg. Clicked “add comment” again. Same thing....

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...
