When I go to the Everything feed, or any other feed, I cannot open Instances. It slides up then immediately back down and says failed to load.

Lots of folks are having the same issue. I'm one as well.

Same problem here!

Me too... So?

Hey, do you know your account is set to appear as a bot and as a result many may be filtering your comments?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, this is strange. Do you know where I could change the settings? On the settings from my instance site I can't find this option.

Found it!

It is in the sync settings, I probably confused "show bot account" with "bot account" . Thanks for reporting.

Happy to help. You're probably the eighth person I've mentioned this to and only the second to acknowledge and do something about it.

ETA: Interestingly Sync seems to cache the bot status of a user as you still have the icon but when I check the web you appear as a regular user. Can someone viewing this thread for the first time after confirm if the icon appears for you?

Definitely new to viewing this thread and their bot icon appears to me.

Weird. I assumed it would be cached at a local level. I wonder what's responsible.
