m/dance was created very recently on kbin.social and has only a few posts. Still, if I search for its URL on lemmy.world it is visible and I can subscribe, though I can’t see any of the posts: https://lemmy.world/c/dance@kbin.social

I recently created the community c/survey_polls on lemmy.world, but when I search for it on kbin.social it is not visible. I can see the cross-posts I made on c/general and c/newcommunities, and looking at my profile through kbin.social my first post to c/survey_polls also doesn’t seem to be visible.

My point is, what communities/posts are or aren’t visible across lemmy.world and kbin.social? Do posts from one website only appear on the other if the community already has subscribers? Or is there some sort of time threshold?

    I’ve never been able to successfully sync posts from a kbin Magazine to Lemmy. I also haven’t seen Lemmy users show up in kbin communities so I assumed that subscriptions were unilateral (kbin users have access to Lemmy but not vice versa).

      I’ve seen people comment from feddit.de, shitjustworks, techns, etc comment on kbin originated posts. Im thinking it’s possible to see most content from most federated instances across Lemmy and kbin, but it’s not that reliable.

      My account on lemmy.one has federated fine with kbin.social. My personal lemmy instance doesn’t. I think it’s a version issue, but you get full access both ways.
