I made this post a few hours ago:

https://lemmy.world/post/136314

Later when browsing kbin.social, I found this on the /m/random feed:

https://kbin.social/m/random/t/19074/There-was-an-attempt-to-join-the-Reddit-blackout

It links to my user, but has no link to the original post. Just trying to figure out what's going on with this.

Federation is not perfect between kbin and lemmy. On kbin instances, if the server pulls some federated content that it isnโ€™t quite sure what to do with, it drops it into m/random. Same thing happens if itโ€™s missing any sort of meta data AFAIK

[โ€“] Rhaedas@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would it resort it into the original posted area if it later grabs the metadata, or is the push a one time thing?

AFAIK it doesnโ€™t go back and update old posts. So if the connection is fixed and the bridge between these two services is rock solid, everything before that wonโ€™t be changed. It will only affect future posts.

In retrospect that makes sense, the last thing we want is a recursive effort to try and update things all the time.

Interesting, thanks for the info!

Might be something acting up with the federation. I think kbin.social enabled Cloudflare, which is blocking some parts of the federation scripts, leading to broken pulls like this. Don't worry about it on your end, there's nothing we lemmings can really do about it.

Checking it now it looks like they shut off Cloudflare, allowing Federation, but it's coming in sporadically.
