I went to lemmy first, noticed federation wasnt working, then went to kbin, and federation still isnt working. So far I havent seen any entrance to the fediverse that can actually see the fediverse.
sure, you can see all the most popular posts and communities. But say you wanted to check out a smaller community, say, the splatoon one here on lemmy.world. You wont see all of the posts there from kbin. How about animemes from lemmy.ml? The latest post you can see from kbin is a week old, yet it’s getting posts everyday. Personally I wanna see some posts from rule34 on lemmynsfw, but again no.
And this is a problem not unique to kbin, I have not found any entrance to the fediverse that doesnt have this problem.
yeah, you can see some amount of posts from other instances on the fediverse. But not all of them, especially not smaller communities that really need the visibility.
Well, user experience is going to depend. Kbin.social recently cut federation temporarily with some instances as a way to work through our backlog. I kind of thought that was up and running again, especially since lemmy.world was listed and I can definitely see that, but I question if this is why beehaw refuses to load and I haven’t seen anything from them in a week.
Sh.itjust.works is also listed there, but I have this hunch that they may also fall prey to the same bug in lemmy’s default reference nginx config that initially stopped kbin users from accessing the android community when they moved. They and Sopuli.xyz (not listed) are both inaccessible, and it’s upsetting watching it wear on because I’m interested in communities in both that either won’t federate anything I do or that I can’t even find in order to sub. This bug is what bothers me the most, that it’s in the default settings is unacceptable, and it makes kbin appear to have much larger issues with federation than it actually does.
Lemmy.mlapparently removed the block only to put it back, which I was not aware of and now I KNOW they’re dickbags. I have to actively filter which communities I can actually participate in instead of only appearing to, and they can just defederate out loud if they’re that bothered. It’s not like they haven’t taken criticism for their actions before, I’m sure they’ll live.

Really? I’m on kbin right now reading this post from Lemmy.world

And yet I’m reading and replying to your message.
I am on kbin and a significant amount of posts I see are from lemmy instances.

kbin federation works just fine
