I've seen people say that you can access kbin from Lemmy and vice versa. I can't seem to do it in browser or with Jerboa. I can't find an actual answer either.

Edit: I even noticed kbin.social is a linked instance.

So it’s a yes and a no. Kbin can see and view/communicate with Lemmy and vica versa but kbin seems much slower in recognizing new content and Lemmy doesn’t pull content from kbin by default from what I can see.

Is that generally true, or only due to the DDOS protections? kbin.social has had to put in place. Those protections prevent it from federating correctly, but presumably once things calm down, it'll federate correctly again.

Kbin enabled Cloudflare bot detection to fend off an ongoing attack and that is preventing Lemmy instances from pulling their content.

Kbin enabled cloud flare protection that will hinder federation. It’s likely preventing lemmy instances from pulling feeds from Kbin. Each lemmy instance pulls its own data, instead of haveing data pushed to it.

This is the announcement from Kbin: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/10415/kbin-quick-update

Thank you for this very informative reply! Holy shit I love Lemmy; everyone is so resourceful and willing to share information so rapidly, such as yourself.
