I'm having this issue too
It was working for me last night, but now I'm not getting any notifications, either.

Can't seem to hide threads at all. Would love to see this, or have up/downvoted threads also dissapear like the reddit functionality has.

Can someone tell me why some instances aren't updating?
For example, https://kbin.social/m/manga@lemmy.ml only displays posts a week old but if you go directly to that instance, you can see posts posted a few hours ago.

I am not enjoying kbin.social right now. The latency is beyond atrocious, at 10+ seconds to load each page. The UI reminds me of 2004 forums that don’t know how users work. The mobile UI is just the worst.
Some pain points:
- I’m a software engineer so I can figure this shit out, but how the hell do I subscribe to a magazine? If I go to it, there should be a “subscribe” or context menu at the top to subscribe/favorite/mute. (I found it, but it's so weird on mobile to click the logo then scroll to get to the subscribe.)
- Why is the comment box all the way at the bottom? Where’s the “add comment” button on a post?
- Why are comments paginated like a forum? Why not just a “load more” like Reddit? What’s the point? It's not to decrease the response because you can do that with "load more" buttons.
- Selecting the comment box should NOT zoom slightly into the page. The mobile web UI needs a lot of work from people who know how to do mobile UIs.
- Is there no “homepage” button? Clicking the Kbin logo at the top just brings up a menu, which requires another click on the homepage button to get back. This is weird and unintuitive.
- Edit: And you can't collapse comment threads? What even...
I really want a Reddit replacement, but this is not it with this terrible UI.

Magazine names should not be case-sensitive, but they are.
This. Why?? This is a terrible user experience. I don't care if your little machine has case sensitive folders, it's bad form to have URLs be case sensitive with things users should be able to easily input (not like IDs like how YouTube does).

Not great that this requires a new account on a service most people won't already have :( I tried logging in with GitHub and it did that thing that I really hate federated logins doing where they go "yeah go ahead log in with your credentials from another site SIKE YOU HAVE TO TELL US YOUR EMAIL ANYWAY"
Maybe I don't understand but my reputation points always say negative. I did the math myself, i have lots more updoots than dislikes. Am i not understanding reputation maybe?
