I have an account on kbin. Recently I saw a post across my feed in which a magazine that I follow (that’s based on a Lemmy instance) was celebrating over 1k subscribers. When I visited, I saw only 240 or so.
I decided to check it out from a Lemmy account and saw well over 1k. I also saw massive amounts of content that was not being pushed to my kbin account. Even when looking at specific users, I could see only the occasional post they made was visible to me on kbin while on Lemmy I could see massive amounts of content that they had posted to this magazine.
It bummed me out because one of the things they shared is extremely niche and I’ve never seen anyone else out in the wild interested in that topic and I would have loved to engage… But it never made it to my kbin feed.
Is this an issue with kbin vs Lemmy? Is there hope it will be fixed? I feel bad because I don’t want to use Lemmy and have loved kbin but am certainly jarred that I’ve been missing out on 80% of the content from a magazine I’ve been invested in engaging with.
TIA
It’s generally smaller communities on instances, not whole instances. I doubt Ernest has a vendetta against the splatoon community on lemmy.world
When it takes over a week in some cases, that’s making federation completely useless. Things are broken and no one in charge is addressing why. It’s just irrelevant info or random guesses from people that dont know, and then discussion drops until it starts it all over again and everyone goes through the same non answers again.
Where is this post in the federation network? Where did it fall through in being connected to kbin? Did it not get sent out to the fediverse? Is it stuck in a server queue somewhere? Is there some aspect of the post data format that kbin couldnt handle?
