When will Kbin be allowed to interact with Lemmy.ml again?
Lemmy.ml seems to block access to any requests with the specific user agent string "kbinBot" (and not just "Bot" or "Kbin", so it seems very deliberate), which means the ~51.000 users on kbin.social don't see anything new happening in Lemmy.ml communities.
It's been brought up a couple times, but no lemmy.ml admin has commented on it yet.
Did someone on kbin use the word “massacre” to describe Tiananmen square or something?
It was less of a massacre and more a preemptive student debt forgiveness plan.
Does kbin have a lot of Winnie the Pooh images?
Laughed at this comment, well done
See this comment.
Thank you!
This is really annoying. I'd like like to be able to access communities on kbin.social.
Yeah I've been noticing the interoperability between apps on the fediverse has been lacking. Kinda defeats the purpose of fedi.
Sign up on another instance like lemm.ee, simple as that
hmm seems lemmy.ml is restricting a lot of communities, going to ai@kbin.social does not even have a message its banned from here. Is this a secret plot to get people to register with other servers?
And still no lemmy.ml admin has commented. And I'm going to go ahead and predict that none will.
I've just spent some time experimenting, since I have accounts with a number of different instances.
All of my posts from kbin to other lemmy instances showed up almost immediately.
All of my posts from other lemmy instances to lemmy.ml showed up almost immediately.
NONE of my posts from kbin to lemmy.ml have shown up at all, three to four hours later.
It's clearly not a broad interoperability issue, since it doesn't happen between kbin and other lemmy instances. It's only with lemmy.ml.
