“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?
@blazera I believe this message is due to the fact that the timeline for these federated magazines is only from the point at which it was added to Kbin. There’s no historical context (and never will be) for that federated magazine. This warning is letting you know that there may be more content in the originating instance. (please correct me if I’m wrong!)
Thats not what im talking about, posts from already federated instances are taking upwards of a week to be viewable from here. Usually server lag is measured in milliseconds so how is this even possible?
Example here https://kbin.social/m/animemes@lemmy.ml
@blazera lemmy.ml is blocking incoming traffic from the kbin.social server.

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.
