Or a thread to lemmy. Basically, how long does “federation” take?

(I am not sure if I am saying that correcly, but you know what I mean.)

    @neatchee @daredevil I think perhaps someone has to post a link hosted on your instance for it to appear. For instance this works:

    https://kbin.social/d/mastodon.social

    but smaller instances like this:

    https://kbin.social/d/pagan.plus

    …don’t seem to, generating a 404 because no one has created a link or thread back to a pagan.plus post (although their users post over to kbin often). Possibly posting link (in the url field of Add a Link on Kbin) to an urusai.social hosted post will do the trick.

      @Arotrios @readbeanicecream @daredevil this sounds very plausible. Unexpected, but it would make sense that kbin’s /d/ path is showing you the directory of content from your server’s local cache and not querying the target server.

      Which kinda makes sense, honestly: since that feature is trying to list everything kbin knows about from the target server, populating it for the first time would definitely cause a significant load on that instance

          Only that it knows about to start, but I think that once it gets subscriptions to the domain, it starts pulling more automatically. I could be wrong, however - I’m not sure which activities aside from posting are federated.

          EDIT: I was wrong - the domain only grabs Threads, so Mastodon posts will likely not show up this way. They may get indexed if they’re sent to a kbin magazine using the @magazinename@kbin.social format
