I ask because I made an account on https://lemmy.zip and the kbin.social magazines there seems to have incomplete contents. e.g. [email protected] there only have one thread from 25 days ago. [email protected] there seemed more up-to-date but number of comments are still less than what I can see directly on kbin.social.
Another indication of trouble is that when I try to subscribe to a kbin.social magazine (like [email protected]) it is stuck on Subscribe Pending seemingly forever and does not transition to subscribed/joined status.
At first I thought it is a configuration problem on lemmy.zip or some recent version Lemmy incompatibility with kbin, but I was able to subscribe to [email protected] there fine and it seems to be getting updated contents.
So somehow traffic is not flowing smoothly between kbin.social and lemmy.zip.
@ernest, I hate to bother you but are you seeing something like this with other instances?
Actually, I have a plan to improve the federation, but at this scale, I need to be super cautious. Just one mistake is enough to harm other instances. That’s why I want to prioritize setting up robust testing environments first, so that the every changes in this regard are thoroughly checked and validated.
