“The magazine from the federated server may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.”
I dont understand this issue. Why is it taking a week in some cases for some text or image from another server to make it here? Is it bottlenecking somewhere? If so how do posts from other servers get here in seconds?
As far as I know, lemmy.ml itself is not blocking kbin requests, at least not on purpose.
But I will try to get some official information from one of the lemmy.ml admins.
There were some issues with the federation of non-Lemmy instances in general.
Multiple issues caused these and affected incoming and outgoing communication.

The latest Lemmy version 0.18.1, which was released yesterday should fix most of the issues, but some instances still need some fixing on the nginx side.
@stanford @ernest > As far as I know, lemmy.ml itself is not blocking kbin requests…
lemmy.ml is returning 403 forbidden responses at any of it’s endpoints when the useragent string contains “kbinbot”. We know this because we’ve tried all variations. Brave kbin instance admins willing to change their useragents are able to federate just fine with lemmy.ml.
This is not a Lemmy thing, its implemented at the server or firewall level. Lemmy.ml admins have not responded at all.
