Why don't kbin comments show up on lemmy servers?

52fighters@kbin.social to /kbin meta@kbin.social – 4 points –

I can see posts with my other user name but none of the replies.

I believe not all of lemmy servers are federated with Kbin. For example, on my Kbin I never see lemmy.world because they have been defederated. Same for beehaw.

But on slrpnk I see everything, it makes me a little glad to be able to have that separation. .

I am able to subscribe and see new posts since my subscription. That wouldn't happen if they were de-federated, would it?

As I understand it, federation is not necessarily reciprocal. If your Kbin server federates with another server, you will see their content, but if they don't also federate with your server, they won't see yours.

For the record, I'm on a Lemmy server and I can see content from Kbin.social just fine.
