What problems are you seeing?

IDK I can see your post. What parts are broken for you?

I’m not OP, but I’ve been having issues in regard to consistency when trying to federate microblogs to kbin magazines

In general there are still maybe different issues with federation. For instance lemmy constantly changes there api after software updates. Causes federation issues.
Federation protocol isn’t fully standardized at all! Meaning that all platforms can do whatever they please. Mastodon did lay out the foundation of the standard. But that was mainly about posts and microblogging.
