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).
I also hit some snags. Did the docker image not compile for you, either?
