Currently moderate m/Cars, m/AskKbin, m/RedditMigration, and while testing out to see if federation works through my lemmy.world dummy account, I can’t seem to find m/AskKbin like I used to, same with m/cars.
is anyone else facing this? This is negatively affecting both Kbin mainly and also Lemmy. Would be great if this can be addressed.
EDIT: Check this announcement from lemmy.world’s admins 3 months ago.
But the “spam” is no longer the issue, as ever since then, mod requests system has been implemented, allowing many new moderators to takeover communities with inactive moderators, as a result allowing spam to exist within these communities.
So I do hope lemmy.world admins can bring back to showing Kbin’s communities, although for now they have seem to done in a manner that us from Kbin can see their content, but people from there can’t see our communities.
Check my post here and do support it, thank you.
I can see recent (few hours ago) comments of mine on lemmy.world (and kbin.social is in the linked instances list), so it doesn’t look like it actually stopped federating. But yeah, I can’t access kbinmeta from over there.
edit: I think I’ve read, back when ernest was gone, about some big Lemmy instance blocking kbin.social magazine federation because of the bot spam in so many magazines. I assumed it’s just rumors, but is it actually real and still a thing lemmy.world is doing?
See edit :)
And regarding your edit, yes, that seems to be the reason, but that is months ago at this point, and they should certainly revert it back, made a post there (linked in above post now through edits) and here (this thread), hope this can bring their attention and reinstate full connection back between both kbin.social and lemmy.world.
