Like the title says, I’d like to know what’s going on with KBin federation? Lemmy content is federating to pretty much all other Lemmy instances just fine, but anything on KBin is taking a very long time to show up on Lemmy, if it ever shows up at all.
On Lemmy.world, I am subscribed to a bunch of kbin.social subs that are in pending state for 2 days now… the few that have gone from pending to joined have zero content show up on Lemmy.
/m/anime_titties for example has many articles on here, but show none at all on Lemmy.world.
Can anyone explain the problem behind this and when there’s an expected fix?
kbin.social must still be having severe problems. Ernest posted this a day ago:
ernest@kbin.social We're experiencing massive delays on the queues today. We're actively working on a solution, and I think we're getting really close. Just wanted to let you know ;)One thing you might try doing is switching to a different KBIN server. The smaller ones are probably Federating just fine with Lemmy and the other KBIN instances, although everyone will have trouble Federating with kbin.social.
I wonder why Ernest doesn’t turn off new sign ups on kbin.social and ask people who want to join KBIN to do so on a different instance so the problems there aren’t exasperated?
I would, but I’ve already set up shop with my forums here and trying to recreate them and move all the threads would be impossible.
I think we might need to publicize different kbin instances. When I learned about Lemmy I also immediately heard of at least 5 instances (lemmygrad.ml, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, lemmy.world, and sh.itjust.works) and join-lemmy.org points you at a ton of different instances. With Kbin, I know there have to be different instances but I only knew of kbin.social when initially joining. Right now I’m also aware of kbin.cafe, but that’s it.
For others reading this, there are 2 others that I know well: https://feddit.online and https://fedia.io
You can find bunches here: https://kbin.pub/en
The Fediverse Observer lets you see all the kbin and lemmy instances but – frustratingly, and unlike with things like Mastodon – there’s no link from their main page.
But the list for lemmy is here:

And for kbin, it’s here:
