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.

    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.
