I have noticed this couple of times, I can’t reply to users from kbin.social. The loader keeps spinning, and if you refresh, the reply doesn’t show.
Is this a known issue, or just some random network / system load issue?
Solution (also posted as a comment below) Select ‘English’ as the language for the reply, otherwise it won’t post to any instance that doesn’t have ‘undetermined’ in the languages or to kbin.social account.
I am reading this from kbin.social if you want to test things some more.
A long reply, copied text from Wikipedia’s featured article:
Cyathus is a genus of bird’s nest fungi in the family Nidulariaceae, so named since they resemble tiny bird’s nests filled with eggs. The “eggs”, or peridioles, are attached to the inner surface of the fruiting body by a cord of mycelium. Both surfaces of the cup may be ridged longitudinally, a taxonomic characteristic that has traditionally served to distinguish between species. Cyathus species are widely distributed across the globe, and some are found in most countries, although a few are localized. C. stercoreus is considered endangered in a number of European countries. Generally considered inedible, Cyathus species are saprobic, obtaining nutrients from decomposing organic matter. They usually grow on decaying woody material, on cow and horse dung, or directly on humus-rich soil. The life cycle of this genus allows them to reproduce both sexually via meiosis, and asexually via spores. Phylogenetic analysis has provided insights into the relationships between the various species.
Yeah, that’s what’s confusing. Replies to you are posting, but take the following comment as an example https://lemmy.world/comment/222313 , I have tried posting a reply to it at least half a dozen times. Even right after replying to you, but it just keep spinning and doesn’t post.
Same thing with few other kbin.social in that community. Not sure what the difference is between your and that accounts.
@alejandro it’s a reply to a comment or post. If you never used third party apps and only official then that’s probably why you haven’t seen it before. All the lines you see are different levels of replies
I can’t seem to find kbin-communities on lemmy.world when the kbin has a capital-letter in it. Lemmy is universally using lowercase letters.
I’m excited that kbin and lemmy are able to interact. Hopefully with some development effort, they’ll be more compatible. But our communities can’t interact perfectly quite yet.
Yea kbin currently has a couple case sensitive bugs when it comes to usernames and magazine names 😅
There currently seems to be an issue between Lemmy and kbin instances syncing up, I don’t know if we know what side is causing the issue at the moment
Figured out the issue, thanks to another post (which I have lost the link to, and can’t find), you have to select ‘English’ as the language for the reply, otherwise it won’t post to any instance that doesn’t have ‘undetermined’ in the languages or to kbin.social account.
The “fediverse” wasn’t prepared for the sudden onslaught of users it is receiving from all instances these days… I’d say it will take a few weeks before everything stabilizes and all instances get an upgraded infrastructure.
Let’s just be patient!
