I only use mobile so idk if it's different on pc, but the little image icon underneath the username will open the posted image underneath the post for you
Thank you, but it does not work for links, and it open image in the same page. On mobile most of the times I want image in full screen mode, where I can zoom, rotate phone, and then go back to the same place in thread list.
Solution: I had somehow subscribed to the DOMAIN kbin.social by mistake. I didn’t even know this was possible. This took a long time figuring out because domain subscriptions can only be seen from the settings page, not from the public facing profile page.
That makes sense now. Glad you figured it out. The question is how you did that to begin with, mainly for reference to avoid others from doing it, unless they want that. But it sort of nullifies the idea of subscriptions. At least if I or other readers of this see someone ever pop up with a similar problem we know where to point them to look.
Fully agreed, and thanks for taking the time to respond to my post. I don't remember how I did it. I think I wanted to subscribe to the magazin kbin and ended up subscribing to the whole domain, too (the timing fits).
While the mistake is certainly on my part, from a usability point of view it would have helped if the two separate subscription lists profile>subscriptions (some features) and settings>subscriptions (all features) would be consolidated into one single list.
I think I was able to narrow it down and it feels like a bug.
The subscribed threads view has an additional filter option: all, links, articles, photos, videos. When choosing links or videos my subscriptions are respected. When choosing any of the other three filters my subscriptions are not respected.
I can't help with a solution, but I can say that if I set my view to subscribed, I only see my subscribed instances and nothing else, no matter how many times I page down. I can't find a setting or anything that should conflict with it. Do you have any scripts/extensions that might be somehow pulling in anything extra? I can't think of any I've seen like that, they've all been appearance-based.
Thanks for the response. I don’t have anything out of the ordinary, I think (certainly no custom scripts). I‘m a casual user with a regular Chrome browser in default settings.
It seems to be my account. I have the same issue when logging in on my phone.
I think a fix is coming in the next update. But you can also install Firefox for Android and it should fix it - plus you can then grab a bunch of Tampermonkey scripts for appending the instance names, auto-hiding posts you've already voted on, etc.
