This community has been made as a backup for the Fediverse’s main pro wrestling community (SquaredCircle on kbin) should anything go wrong and kbin and/or Ernest disappears.
We may be moving here full time. If you read this, please visit the following thread on kbin for more details:

Hey guys, tried posting this as a response to a federation query but i keep getting 5xx errors on kbin.social so thought i’d post it here for visibility.
Hey, lemmy.zip admin here - what you’re seeing is a side effect of how lemmy works vs some of the stuff we do on lemmy.zip to promote communities using a tool called Lemmy Federate - basically all our communities are federated out to 27 other instances and the comments etc should pull through without issue there (reddthat, feddit uk, midwest.social etc - full list is here (currently squaredcircle@lemmy.zip is at the top) - the other instances (lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, lemm.ee etc) don’t actually know about the community because no one from those instances has subscribed, so no information is given to those instances UNTIL someone subscribes or searches it for the first time on that instance, at which point its a blank slate - its the same with users, hence why neon_carnivores comment might not show on other instances - its because they’re not aware of them as a user on lemmy.zip yet. It should balance out over time as more instances become aware of the community.
You can see live federation stats for lemmy.zip here.
PS - thats a really terrible explanation from me about federation on lemmy there but tl;dr its how federation on lemmy works - it just takes time until a few users are subscribed from each instance, then its good to go.
ETA - i can see upvotes pulling through properly too now on lemmy.ml as i upvote or downvote on lemmy.zip so federation going forwards should work fine…
Test post using new lemmy.zip account from Installer app!
That was actually a fantastic explanation and one I forgot (it’s been a long 8 months lmao).
Just checked the community via lemmy.ml and I can see my comment and yours that I’m responding to (still nothing for Neon’s tho), and when checking via dbzer0 I only see yours and not mine or Neon’s. The joys of federation! lol
yeah, at this point with the intricacies of federation unfortunately neon’s comment won’t show up to others, but going forwards on those instances it should be fine (lemmy.world is still on an old lemmy version so thats hit and miss anyway, but everyone else should be fine!)
Perfect. I copied your comment into the kbin magazines thread about it so the others can see it, thanks!
Ah great thank you :)
If you do decide to come over to Lemmy.zip, you are more than welcome here!
Testing comment for lemmy.ml compatibility.
Neat.
