We're experiencing so many federation issues, I think. There's much less content in the communities/magazines I subscribe to when I browse them from Kbin, and in some I only see very old posts :(

Has anyone tried creating a KBIN server using the Docker instructions since Saturday? I got a development server running on Saturday and I decided to bring up a production ready version on Sunday, but now I'm running into two errors while creating it.
First:
In these instructions:
$ sudo chown 82:82 public/media
$ sudo chown 82:82 var
$ cp .env.example .env
There is no directory "var" so the chown fails
Second:
When running docker compose build --pull --no-cache
It now fails with this:
=> [php app_php 20/21] RUN rm -Rf docker/ 0.2s
=> ERROR [php app_php 21/21] RUN set -eux; mkdir -p var/cache var/log; if [ -f composer.json ]; then composer dump-autoload --classmap-authoritative --no-dev; compose ...
This also seems to relate to the var directory, and so must be part of a recent change in the build that relates to the var directory.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
I have tried creating an instance on both Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 with both Docker and the manual steps.
I can get the build to work fine. But at best I get 500 errors with no signs of logs as to why, not in postgres, not in nginx, not in redis or rabbitmq or even syslog.
On Docker i have both the kbin_messenger and kbin container boot looping with an error about creating cache directories. But since the containers are restarting I cant even get into bash on them to see why.
I finally said fuck it and ran the compose for "prod" and the containers start but again, 500 errors.
At this point....i give up i feel. I would love to host an instance and I am familiar with some of these modules (ie: NGINX, redis and postgres) but with how this is built, I dont see where the breakpoint is.
I operate my own homelab and have a background in SRE, so I figured I'd try out the same. I've wrangled a Mastodon instance install before, so this couldn't be too hard, right?
My approach started by using containers via lxc as a quick and dirty way of getting a development environment that enabled me to figure out if it worked and then see if I could then wrap it into a proper docker container and look at potentially publishing that.
On my first attempt, I did the manual route. I skipped the redis, rabbitmq, and postgres installs as I already operate those elsewhere on the network, but I got everything else running. Unfortunately, I also experienced the 500 errors. Most of the front page loaded, except for the content where the 500 error was displayed. Even with some digging around, I couldn't find a clear path to figuring out what was causing the 500 error, as the Mercure hub was seeing subscribers connect and disconnect. Gave up.
I then figured maybe the docker route might be easier/streamlined. I'm not a fan of duplicating services, but I thought that if the core workflow was solid enough, I could put effort into splitting them apart and go from there. Unfortunately, I don't even get past the docker-compose build for dev. Docker compose hangs forever.
Yeah. Kbin install made me eat some humble pie for sure. I think someone called me a normie in a lemmy thread describing my troubles. Lol.
To be fair some of the parts like mercure and rabbitmq im unfamiliar with. But it was a stone cold stumper for me and that’s rare. I’m fairly familiar with Linux admin, and even some of the tooling like docker. But I just couldn’t get it to work in a cohesive way. I ran plenty of Linux servers from Drupal instances, Postgres, nginx for all sorts of shit, etc etc.
My lemmy instance took….45 minutes to roll out. Though I already had an Ansible box sitting in my lab.
The most important feature needed is comments sorting by TOP. The microblog page already has this. Why not post pages?
My home feed keeps getting reset to "All" even though I changed the home feed to "subscribed" in settings. Am I missing something?

Slightly annoying issue:
No reply notifications for comments.
I'm having this issue too
It was working for me last night, but now I'm not getting any notifications, either.
When I joined a couple days ago, it worked immediately when someone responded to me. Now, it's either delayed by a couple hours or doesn't work at all. It's probably low on their priority list right now, but I hope it gets fixed eventually.
Why are the default rate limits so low? As an admin how do I change them permanently? I have modified rate_limiters.yaml and ran the dump command. If the containers restart the file is reset to default settings.

The page to manage moderators is broken and returns 503 Service Unavailable. It has been doing this for at least a week. I'm unable to add moderators to the magazines that I created as a result and I could use some help on some of them.
For example: https://kbin.social/m/TodayILearned/moderators
I tried in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and curl. curl returns:

Any word on when this might be resolved?

There might be something wrong with Markdown tables, they worked fine a week or so ago but now it's just the "raw code". Any experiencing this issue or did the format change slightly?
Searching on "active" magazines often indicates at the bottom of the webpage that there are several search webpage results.
Attempting to go to a subsequent page always yields the "first" page results.
This comment thread is behaving very strangely right now: comments with the same ID are showing up multiple times in different places, and I just received a notification about a reply that I don't see in the thread.

Having issues searching for any federated content w/i kbin
I’m on mobile, and hitting More on the comments section of my profile looks very different from when I hit More anywhere else.
Has anyone else stopped receiving notifications? I haven't gotten any notifications the past couple of days even though my notifications are all turned on.
Tried to add my alt account on a different instance to the moderator list of the only magazine I own and got a nonsensical error message: Value isn't blank, but the error message says "This value should not be blank"

Hello there!
In my feed all pictures are stretched, is this a product of the layout? Can I change this somehow? I am using the progressive web app on Android.
✌️
Why does clicking the thumbnail of a post in a community open the comments instead of opening the article or image or whatever?
Why are comment threads no longer indented further than 2 indentations? I can't tell when someone is replying to the parent comment or one of its replies anymore...

I visited a post with 130 comments in which I participated before. None of the comments show up and I don't know why. It's not the first time that this happens. Am I doing something wrong? I'm browsing from Firefox mobile.
Not sure if anyone is getting this problem or whether it is a KBin issue or a browser issue.
I get an issue when browsing on mobile (Firefox) and loading magazine headers under all. If I scroll down and load a few additional magazine headers, click on a magazine title to view it and then hit back to return to the list of magazines, the list does not return me to the place I was at in the list.
Instead it truncates the list back to first loaded magazine headers and leaves me viewing the random details normally positioned at the bottom of the all list. To get it to load more magazine headers I have to scroll back to actual bottom of the listed of initially loaded magazine headers. It then starts reloading headers as normal but I then need to scroll and reload all subsequent magazine headers to get back to my position in the list.

I don't have an account on codeberg, so sending a bug report here. Hope it finds its way ...
When linking to a federated community with ! name@host.tld (eg. !newyuzupiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ), kbin incorrectly links to [https://kbin.social/m/!newyuzupiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com](https://kbin.social/m/[!newyuzupiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com](/c/newyuzupiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com)) (notice the extra ! ).
There is a live example of this bug in https://kbin.social/m/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com/t/62700/Fully-understand-if-this-is-impossible-but-is-there-any#entry-comment-269796
