I haven’t been able to subscribe to any communities hosted on kbin instances. I can see the communities, but they stay at “subscribe pending” and the posts never show up.

I can still see posts and comments from kbin users as long as they’re on a Lemmy community, so I know it’s not being blocked on my end.

I heard that there was a “temporary outage” regarding federation with kbin.social a while back, so I’ve been waiting for months for it to start working, but it just never did. I’ve also tried subscribing to other kbin instances and they haven’t worked either…

So has this just always been broken for everybody?
Or is there something I can change on my end to get it working?

    Personally I don’t have any problems with subscribing to kbin magazines. The only issue there is is that sometimes federation is a bit brocken and some posts appear a lot later on lemmy, and in rare cases they don’t even appear.

      Mine is definitely more than just “a bit” broken. I have 20+ communities subscribed for over 2 months and 0 posts. No issues with any Lemmy communities.
