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.
Comment on Lemmy.world no longer federating with Kbin? If yes, why??
TheArstaInventor@lemmy.world 6 months agoTo 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
