I haven’t been able to subscribe to any communities hosted on kbin instances. I can see the communities, but they stay at “subscribe pending” and the posts never show up.

I can still see posts and comments from kbin users as long as they’re on a Lemmy community, so I know it’s not being blocked on my end.

I heard that there was a “temporary outage” regarding federation with kbin.social a while back, so I’ve been waiting for months for it to start working, but it just never did. I’ve also tried subscribing to other kbin instances and they haven’t worked either…

So has this just always been broken for everybody?
Or is there something I can change on my end to get it working?

    Also, for whatever reason I actually do have ONE single post originating from kbin, from 3 months ago:
    https://lemmy.megumin.org/post/128103

    I’m guessing this is the first one I tried subscribing to… so for whatever reason I managed to receive that one post, but then no subsequent posts, comments, or votes.

    All of my Lemmy subscriptions seem to be working fine.
