Current Known Issues

[padraig]

This is to keep track of issues that we are experiencing

• Uncategorized’ category showing up on the home page.
  • I am looking to have that removed, but it looks like some editing to the database is needed, and I do not know what I am doing with mongoDB in order to solve that. I am awaiting an update from the nodeBB developers. - Fixed on 27th February 2026
• First post with images are small, sometimes with the message “This post did not contain any content” - Thread
  • This is a Fediverse/ActivityPub issue, whether it’s how certain software (ie: Mastodon, Lemmy, Piefed) handles images/media or how nodeBB implements them. Additionally, videos, are not showing up at all on Caint. We may be waiting a while for an update (if there is one) Fixed on 20th March 2026
• Foreign language posts - Thread
  • This is another Fediverse/ActivityPub issue - Last week or so, I added some ActivityPub relays so we can be discovered by many servers. This has the downside of pulling in posts from instances and accounts which have foreign languages. I am keeping an eye on Recent from time-to-time to hopefully catch and remove them.

Update:

• The issue with the small images on topics has been fixed. Images will now be displayed above the text. For certain platforms like PieFed/Lemmy, images coming from there may be doubled, but it’s better than having a thumbnail.

Update:

• The issue with foreign language posts has also been resolved. Users will receive an error if they try to post something that is not in English or Irish.
