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

  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.

      …and zero users per week, which is wrong even when viewed from “this side” of the Fediverse, as many people have clicked that link by now. Hm. Seems like it is not “just” a federation issue when the Lemmy.world version of the magazine doesn’t even count visitors ON Lemmy.world properly.

        When I link to cars magazine from lemmy it should be kbin.social/m/cars but appeared as kbin.social/c/cars which does not exists.

        Other Redditmigration and breathofthewild links do not have this problem.

  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 ^^°

      You might be right, I am not sure, but Ask Kbin before actually used to federate well and often got people from lemmy.world and lemmy.ml, now I just cant seem to find AskKbin from here.

        Huh…you’re right. It’s not in the community list and neither are the others you mentioned. Same for the dropdown menu. And manually creating a link that should work, gets weird results again.

        • !askkbin@kbin.social gives me the “error” page even tho it should work,

        • kbin.social/m/askkbin works just fine, but with the kbin design

    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.
