I have an account on kbin. Recently I saw a post across my feed in which a magazine that I follow (that's based on a Lemmy instance) was celebrating over 1k subscribers. When I visited, I saw only 240 or so.

I decided to check it out from a Lemmy account and saw well over 1k. I also saw massive amounts of content that was not being pushed to my kbin account. Even when looking at specific users, I could see only the occasional post they made was visible to me on kbin while on Lemmy I could see massive amounts of content that they had posted to this magazine.

It bummed me out because one of the things they shared is extremely niche and I've never seen anyone else out in the wild interested in that topic and I would have loved to engage... But it never made it to my kbin feed.

Is this an issue with kbin vs Lemmy? Is there hope it will be fixed? I feel bad because I don't want to use Lemmy and have loved kbin but am certainly jarred that I've been missing out on 80% of the content from a magazine I've been invested in engaging with.

TIA

It's beta software syncing with beta software, all while being crushed with a flood of users no one expected before last month.

I'm surprised things are working as well as they are now.

Things will get better and more functional as time passes.

It’s pretty much just kbin not playing nice. With Lemmy being the larger network force, it’s on kbin devs to get their instances talking with Lemmy better.

As far as I know, Subscriber count is specific to your instance and not aggregated.

This is what's happening here.

[-] Kill_joy@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Respectfully, that doesn't have anything to do with what is happening here.

Why is it that when I go to a Lemmy community from kbin I see three posts by user123 in the last 24 hours, but when I go from Lemmy I see user123 has made 12 posts in the last 24 hours?

Something is not working as intended.

Those are two separate issues. I use a private instance so all my communities only show two subscribers even though I can see all of the posts and comments.

Here's what the kbin dev has to say about the problem you're experiencing. TLDR is he's planning to improve the federation. Personally have no idea if it's a kbin or lemmy problem.

It's a KBin problem. My KBin instance wouldn't even federate properly with another KBin instance at least more than half the time

I was having huge problems with kbin as well, even after federating was supposedly fixed on kbin.social. Posts I made to Lemmy communities would not actually show up to Lemmy users, and likewise there were way too many Lemmy posts not showing up on my kbin. Ended up giving up on it and just making an account on a Lemmy instance instead.

I was running a KBin server, but federation never worked well, even with other KBin servers.

Finally gave up myself and spooled up a Lemmy server.

It's unfortunate because KBin is just better in almost every aspect compared to Lemmy, but the lack of reliable federation just kills it

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
