I’ve been seeing this for quite a bit, and thought it’d resolve itself once CloudFlare was taken off, but I’m still seeing it on many external communities from e.g. Lemmy. Not all posts or comments are visible from Kbin. Any idea on what’s going on?
Edit, clarification: when I visit e.g., https://kbin.social/m/technology@beehaw.org the above mentioned sentence shows up, and I’m not able to see threads created even 13 hrs ago, like this one on the original instance https://beehaw.org/post/927935?scrollToComments=true. New content doesn’t seem to be pushed to this instance at kbin.social. This is the issue I’m referring to.
Edit 2: This is probably the answer: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/131241/What-s-up-with-The-magazine-from-the-federated-server-may#entry-comment-517045
Eh, it’s not much of a downside in an active community. The model is push once at time of publication, there are other systems in place that republish content and help it propagate through the network.
On kbin, there’s a “boost”… well, it’s not really stylized as a button, but there’s a “boost” feature, which acts to republish posts or comments and allows them to reach newer subscribers. I’m not sure how it works on Lemmy, as there’s no explicit boost, but there are mechanisms there to renew active back content.
It all just means we, as users and members of communities, need to take on a little bit of responsibility for ensuring that interesting or valuable content propagates.
