Good news: lemmy.world has overtaken lemmy.ml and now holds the top spot as the #1 non-bot lemmy instance.
Bad news: there’s been an explosion of bot farm instances in the past 48 hours.
I did think it was oddly slow for a headline like this, but I mostly likened it to posts getting any attention on the fediverse being like roulette still. Has to be temporary, I know it’s been spotty for at least a few days. Is sad for the time being, though :(
I’ve been investigating this more. It seems to be a problem with Kbin.social… I can view anything on lemmy instances from Kbin, but I can’t view anything on Kbin from lemmy instances. I can’t search my own name, I can’t search Kbin.social communities from Lemmy (tried lemmy.world and beehaw.org) … so I don’t know what to do. This problem basically kills kbin.social for me if it won’t federate properly.
