I haven’t figured out how to view new content through kbin which hasn’t been “added” yet.

If I go to “kbin.social/d/mastodon.social” I can view posts from that Mastodon instance.

But if I go to, say, “kbin.social/d/seafoam.space” it doesn’t work.

I’ve tried:

  • Searching for the urls (website.example, https://website.example) in the search bar
  • Appending “!” and “@” (!website.example, @website.example)
  • Searching for specific users, including with prefixes (user@website.example, @user@website.example, !user@website.example)
  • Adding the kbin URL to the previous examples
    (kbin.social/d/@website.example .../m/@website.example .../d/website.example)
    Etc etc

I’m probably doing something completely wrong but I can’t seem to get Kbin to pick up on new content it hasn’t seen before.

    When you follow a given account on #Mastodon with your #kbin account, posts from that account will be #federated here. If they use #hashtags, then posts they write will be federated into #magazines here based on permitted tags chosen by magazine moderators which show up in the #microblogging section of a magazine. AFAIK, posts that don’t get sorted into a particular magazine will be sent to @random. In order to search for magazines/communities, you can search for linux@lemmy.world for example.

    Attached below is some helpful information.

      I’ve tried following this diagram but it still seems to get stuck.

      I’ve searched with the direct URL of an individual post from new external sites, but kbin will get stuck loading and error-out.

      Let’s take this random post for example:
      https://seafoam.space/notice/AYI854xYInmT1aebke

      Search function doesn’t seem to like it

        OK I’ve done some testing trying to replicate your issue, and I’m seeing what is likely the same error (maybe you can confirm?):

        CurlResponse->getStatusCode() in src/Service/ActivityPub/ApHttpClient.php (line 55)

                    'max_duration' => self::TIMEOUT,
                    'timeout' => self::TIMEOUT,
                    'headers' => $this->getInstanceHeaders($url),
                ]);
                **if (!str_starts_with((string) $r->getStatusCode(), '2')) {**
                    throw new InvalidApPostException("Get fail: {$url}, ".$r->getContent(false));
                }
                $item->expiresAt(new \DateTime('+1 hour'));

        Uncaught PHP Exception Symfony\Component\HttpClient\Exception\TransportException: "Operation timed out after 2910 milliseconds with 0 bytes received for "https://miraiverse.xyz/objects/55e10faf-b84a-4ce1-bc36-bc6617a5edc3"." at /srv/app/vendor/symfony/http-client/Chunk/ErrorChunk.php line 56

        So I found two other Akkoma instances to also test against and received the same error. This seems to be some issue with kbin trying to pull Akkoma posts. I’ll dig a little deeper later on.

          Yeah I receive the same error messages.

          On a similar note some posts/profiles/instances that are federating don’t always show up.

          Searching for this post for example
          https://wandering.shop/@rosemarymosco/110816590584504755
          Shows no results when using the URL or full user string @rosemarymosco@wandering.shop

          However, manually entering the complete URL into the address bar kbin.social/u/@rosemarymosco@wandering.shop will show the profile correctly as well as the post that we were just searching for
