      Oh, i actually didn’t know Kbin (despite these posts lol) was being seen from Lemmy. Iirc when i first saw Kbin a few days ago, Kbin could see Lemmy but Lemmy couldn’t see Kbin. Ie it’s like it was a partial federation.

      I’m curious on if that was accurate and if it was, what caused it in a technical sense. Given i’m a dev working on some ActivityPub stuff, i’m quite interested in it. Though i’ve not yet used the spec, clearly hah.

          So does that mean I can see kbin posts in lemmy.world? I’m using the mlem app on IOS btw

        It was blocked by kbin having cloudflare DDoS protection enabled to reduce server load. I guess that blocks federation.

          Hmm, surely there must be a way to whitelist other instances you want to federate with so they don’t get blocked by cloudflare…

            I’m sure you can do that in cloudflare but it’d require whitelisting every Lemmy instance that you want to federate with on kbin’s end, which is a bit much.

      It’s super cool! My mind is now blown!

      Wow this is neat!

      How can I tell that a post is from another instance when browsing on Kbin? Just scanning the card for this thread, it isn’t apparent that it’s federated content.

        If you have the top bar enabled, you can see it at the top on the right hand side.
