Looks like Kbin is running a pretty huge federation backlog, as it’s taking several hours for comments to federate out. I’m not knowledgeable about how these servers work, but is it teetering on collapsing or something?

    Are the Mbin instances well federated so you’re still getting about the same mix of content? They all seem pretty small in terms of subscriber count

      I just set up an account at fedia.io, which is an mbin instance. When I ran the script posted over here to copy my subscriptions I had 111 subscriptions succeed and 49 fail. I’ve been checking the ones that failed and they’ve all been ones that haven’t had anyone post in them for 5 months or more, so I’m guessing those are “dead” anyway. Seems not too bad, I’ll see how it goes I guess.

      I posted this same response from both of my accounts, I’m going to watch to see how well it federates back and forth.

        Yeah the comments are not federating across fedia/kbin. I’m only seeing your comments on this thread when you’ve posted them on the server I am currently viewing. Even 8 hours after you commented.

          Weird. Your initial comment federated, since I was able to see it from both instances. All these responses to it did not, though.

            Oof. This definitely needs to get sorted out asap. It would be the death of a federated platform centered around discussion. It’s kinda one of the main tasks.

        Yep actually did the same myself with fedia and that script. Also had some fail which I think were likewise abandoned.
