BRITISH COMEDY HAS MOVED ( feddit.uk )
TL;DR: Please resubscribe to !britishcomedy / @britishcomedy
When I joined Kbin/Fedia back in June I was optimistic that it would surpass Lemmy in every way. I still prefer the interface, but because it's early days for it there isn't (quite yet) an API for running 3rd party apps and bots. So I signed up for Lemmy a month or so later and then discovered Connect, and I've been using that more and more and Kbin less and less.
It didn't really matter that some of my magazines (as Kbin calls them) were on Fedia as I could still monitor them from Lemmy and then log in if any moderation needed to be done (you can assign Lemmy users as mods but they can't do anything), right? Well, it appears not. I discovered a bug which means posts to a Kbin magazine don't federate properly unless somebody on the host instance interacts with them.
The bug has gained no traction at all even though I've proved it happens, and I'm getting increasingly frustrated with having to log in to Kbin just to upvote everything to get it to push articles and comments out to other subscribers. Especially as I have no way of knowing something is waiting until I log in...
So, the upshot of this is I'm moving this community/magazine to feddit.uk (arguably where it should have been originally but I wasn't familiar with Lemmy at the point I created it). I'm still optimistic for Kbin's future but the backend needs to improve!
