Comment on Lemmy.world no longer federating with Kbin? If yes, why??

Just checked the instances list and it still shows kbin.social as federated, so it’s likely an issue or bug.
If it’s a different one than kbin.social I’m not sure.
You can go to lemmy.world homepage and click instances at the bottom, then ctrl+f (or equivalent find in page feature for mobile browsers) and search your instance name.
If it’s near the bottom under the blocked section it’s defederated but above that it’s usually just a federation issue.

The communities I mentioned are from Kbin.social actually.

Hm… seems to be an issue with these specific communities. I can open other magazines just fine - for example !breathofthewild@kbin.social still works without issues, but !cars@kbin.social just gave me two error messages before it properly opened, and now shows zero posts, comments or subscribers despite having 300+ posts when viewed via kbin.social/m/cars instead. The content simply doesn’t appear for me when viewed via Lemmy.world

From lemm.ee instance !cars@kbin.social has 0 subscribers and 0 posts.

To mention, I dont think it’s a bug although I might be wrong, the post here from the admins mention they have not really defederated it, but they have removed Kbin communities from Lemmy.world so only users from Kbin can see content here, one side only.

I’m not 100% sure how it all works, but wasn’t it so that magazines / communities and the like only really federate when someone from instance A deliberately looks for them on instance B? So, in that case, people from Lemmy.World opening the links to the magazines you posted would lead to the content federating eventually?
Please correct me if I’m wrong ^^°

I think it is a bug, as I cannot access some communities on slrpnk.net (like !documentaries@slrpnk.net) from my Kbin account, it just gives me a 404, even though they definitely should be federated. However I can still access other communities on Slrpnk.net from it (or maybe they’re just old posts?) Something is definitely up.
