Specifically, I’m trying to post (an image) to boston@lemmy.ml from my account on kbin.social. The post shows up on kbin.social, but when I go to https://lemmy.ml/c/boston, it doesn’t seem to be there. Is there something special I need to do to ensure it’s viewable?
kbin threads should be the equivalent of lemmy posts. Microblogging posts here are the equivalent of Mastodon posts.
I’m left wondering if the servers are just struggling to keep up with the load. When Twitter users flooded Mastodon, post syncing got hours behind schedule. Or maybe something’s just bugging out.
Yeah I think so, sometimes when I refresh i get a cloudflare error or the page takes longer to load.
With a lot of people moving over from Reddit it’s going to be a crazy few days/weeks.
I can’t even register for lemmy or beehaw, I just get an endless loop on my attempts to sign up and the Lemmy.ml main page says their servers are overloaded.
Yeah as the flagship server and then the one recommended because the first got too full, those two might not be taking any more people for the time being. It’s one to keep the servers from being hugged to death and two hopefully to encourage others to spin up an instance and share the load/keep from centralizing in one place.
I think lemmy.world is a better alternative anyway http://lemmy.world/post/37906
Well .world is also spinning when logging in now…
Might it have something to do with the type of content?
I noticed, looking in your profile that KBin refers to your boston content as a ‘thread’ while lemmy calls such things posts.
There are ‘posts’ in kbin, so maybe you need to make a new ‘post’ on kbin.Just guessing
That’s possible! I thought that could be the issue. I was a bit confused because it looks like “posts” are put in the “microblog” category on kbin which I thought loosely corresponds to Mastadon-style posts. But maybe I’m wrong…
I did make a microblog on that boston community, and it showed up on lemmy.
Based on the state of lemmy, I’m guessing the microblog->post issue is on the lemmy side of things.
Thanks for trying that! Inconsistencies like that are probably why comments don’t sync correctly, right? For instance, on this thread (https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/10635/Today-at-23-00-GMT-there-will-be-a-30-minute-technical) there are 13 comments, whereas on the corresponding thread in Lemmy (https://lemmy.ml/post/1194271) only 3 comments show up.
I think the intermittence of kbin also affects the propagation of posts/comments. However it seems like we are getting an upgrade soon to handle so many new users.
Don’t forget to buy Ernest a coffee so he can put some finances towards upgrading the server!
