yeah exactly. On mbin it works this way and lemmy inserting the link breaks that. But it does it for communities in the community description sometime as well, though I don't know if it is just a user "error" or a lemmy error

Yes they are, but you have my profile on your server and you do not need to leave the server to view my profile...
@ user @ lemmy.instance
should link to https:// mbin.instance/u/@user@lemmy.instance
and not to https:// lemmy.instance/u/user

Actually that behaviour is very annoying to other platforms. Mbin for example can only link to the lemmy server this user is on and no longer the local profile of that user.
Example:
@ user @ lemmy.instance
gets converted to [@ user @ lemmy.instance](https:// lemmy.instance/u/user
so on mbin this does not open the profile of the user on the local server, but instead links the lemmy instance, so you leave your instance to view the profile.
(spaces included so this won't get converted to mentions, etc)

iodéOS here and I can't find it on my phone either (yes I looked at the system apps)

Well I did set one up today and the mails land in the spam folder for GMX, GMail and Microsoft (@live.de), although I set up SPF, rDNS, and DKIM. I have to take a look at how to setup DMARC, beacause my domain hoster doesn't allow free configuration of the TXT entries, you have to use templates and there isn't one for DMARC

I am using it too and I love it. I only know source tree as a competitor and in comparision it sucks....
You dont have to pay for it, even when using it comercially (unpess they changed that)

I wouldnt say that. however setting uo your own mail server is a lot of work, as you have to abide a lot of "security" rules (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, rDNS). Additionally some hosters reuire you to apply for port 25 to be unblocked (e.g. hetzner)

yeah I got matrix only for that.
Yeah I am :-)
Right now the top bar only shows local magazines, as does the "Random Magazines" section. Why is that and should federated Magazines be listed too? For context: I am running a (right now) very small instance that has basically no local magazines. Therefore my topbar is nearly empty

just FYI there is steamdeck magazine on kbin: @Steamdeck

If you have issues, feel free to @ me. I don't have a answer for everything, but I know of a couple of common mistakes.
And the matrix chat is relatively active

The main problem is that you have to do a lot learning by doing, because there are not clear instructions...
Other than the setup I'd say there is no clear drawback to hosting it yourself. I guess its even better than hosting something like mastodon yourself, because the content you want to get is already grouped in communities and you don't have the annoyingly long discovery phase one has when starting a mastodon server

The main problems are the headaches you get while setting it up. Kbin is not in a state where you can just run a script and it works.
I thought that my instance is having problems with sending posts to other instances, especially lemmy instances, so I tried something and these are my observations: When I post an article to [@kbinMeta](https://thebrainbin.org/m/kbinMeta@kbin.social) not all servers that subscribed to the magazine get that article (seemingly). It of course appears at [https://kbin.social](https://kbin.social), but not necessarily on other servers. This is not necessarily by design, it might be, that kbin.social is just struggling to keep up, but I've waited for about an hour and it did not show up on other servers and there are other posts from kbin.social users in kbinMeta at [htts://lemmy.ml](htts://lemmy.ml) that got posted after I posted my article, but mine isn't there. However when I mention a user from another server in a comment this server instantly gets the comment that mentions the user from said instance including the article, which was previously not present on the server. So here is my Theory: * I post something to [@kbinMeta](https://thebrainbin.org/m/kbinMeta@kbin.social) -\> kbin.social gets the post (-\> kbin.social broadcasts it to servers that subscribed to the magazine) * I post something to [@kbinMeta](https://thebrainbin.org/m/kbinMeta@kbin.social) and mention a specific user from [https://feddit.de](https://feddit.de) * -\> kbin.social gets the post (-\> kbin.social broadcasts it to servers that subscribed to the magazine) * -\> feddit.de gets the post directly The part thats in paranthesis I am not sure about. Maybe it gets done and maybe not. If it is done then the queue on kbin.social for outgoing messages is just huge and a message is waiting for over an hour to get processed Maybe some of you know more than me. I just that and this is my observation.
I set up an instance and got the feeling that outgoing federation is not really working. So this is testing that.

The rest of the post sounds a lot better trust me. I at first rhought he is only insulting kbin amd lemmy 😅

I've spun up a new kbin instance and have no problem pulling magazines from <lemmy.ml> or <kbin.social>
I just disovered that I (local admin) can edit the description, tags, etc. of a remote magazine (propably because I am marked as the owner on my instance)

I am not sure, but I think they are basically hashtags. Not sure though

After alternative S3 hosters are implemented I would be very open to something like this on my instance. But I don't know when that will happen. Right now I am paying for far too fast SSD storage that is just too expensive for this.

Content will only be forwarded after the first person on an instance subscribes to something.
So you will only see posts in a remote magazine that were made after the first person on your instance subscribed to the magazine.
For 1h my instance is hammered at 100% CPU. I just upscaled, but that didn't change anything. I now have a hetzner server with 4 cores and 4 processes for each of the messenger commands. I figured they just have to process a long queue so that makes sense, but only if the queue has an end... The only thing I found to debug what the messengers are doing is this: `php bin/console messenger:stats` which yields the same result each time I run it: ``` ----------- ------- Transport Count ----------- ------- async 100 async_ap 100 failed 2152 ----------- ------- ! [NOTE] Unable to get message count for the following transports: "sync". ``` Is there a better way to debug kbin messengers?
