"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?

@stanford @ernest > As far as I know, lemmy.ml itself is not blocking kbin requests...

lemmy.ml is returning 403 forbidden responses at any of it's endpoints when the useragent string contains "kbinbot". We know this because we've tried all variations. Brave kbin instance admins willing to change their useragents are able to federate just fine with lemmy.ml.

This is not a Lemmy thing, its implemented at the server or firewall level. Lemmy.ml admins have not responded at all.

@stanford @ernest Annoyingly, they have not fully defederated. Due to the nature of ActivityPub lemmy.ml users can view and interact with kbin instance magazines and content just fine.
