Specifically, I’m trying to post (an image) to boston@lemmy.ml from my account on kbin.social. The post shows up on kbin.social, but when I go to https://lemmy.ml/c/boston, it doesn’t seem to be there. Is there something special I need to do to ensure it’s viewable?

    kbin threads should be the equivalent of lemmy posts. Microblogging posts here are the equivalent of Mastodon posts.

    I’m left wondering if the servers are just struggling to keep up with the load. When Twitter users flooded Mastodon, post syncing got hours behind schedule. Or maybe something’s just bugging out.

      Yeah I think so, sometimes when I refresh i get a cloudflare error or the page takes longer to load.

      With a lot of people moving over from Reddit it’s going to be a crazy few days/weeks.

        Yeah. That’s happening on kbin.social because the admin turned on some DDoS defenses. The site has seen exponential growth the last couple of days.

          Kbin.social is now the largest single Reddit clone on the Fediverse IIRC.

          Lemmy is still bigger if you combine all the instances, but Kbin is the largest single instance. Kbin hasn’t really seen other instances be created yet though (anecdotally, I hit some snags trying to get my own instance set up).

      Yeah as the flagship server and then the one recommended because the first got too full, those two might not be taking any more people for the time being. It’s one to keep the servers from being hugged to death and two hopefully to encourage others to spin up an instance and share the load/keep from centralizing in one place.

        The natural response for most new users will be to join already large servers, which is exactly what we don’t want here. I learned that only recently (am a new user myself). Perhaps we should consider a line on the join-lemmy server list that says as much. Otherwise people will probably keep flooding the flagships and our rate of user growth will be severely hampered.

        At least if we put a warning on the server list we’re at least filtering out users that don’t read.

      Same, I’ve been trying to register on Beehaw for more than a day. Glad to hear it’s not just me!

      it looks like it’s federating, but with a delay. the post I’ve sent from kbin to Beehaw’s community wasn’t visible on their website yesterday, but it did sync overnight.

    Might it have something to do with the type of content?
    I noticed, looking in your profile that KBin refers to your boston content as a ‘thread’ while lemmy calls such things posts.
    There are ‘posts’ in kbin, so maybe you need to make a new ‘post’ on kbin.

    Just guessing
