When will Kbin be allowed to interact with Lemmy.ml again?

Lemmy.ml seems to block access to any requests with the specific user agent string "kbinBot" (and not just "Bot" or "Kbin", so it seems very deliberate), which means the ~51.000 users on kbin.social don't see anything new happening in Lemmy.ml communities.

It's been brought up a couple times, but no lemmy.ml admin has commented on it yet.

It was less of a massacre and more a preemptive student debt forgiveness plan.

This is really annoying. I'd like like to be able to access communities on kbin.social.

Yeah I've been noticing the interoperability between apps on the fediverse has been lacking. Kinda defeats the purpose of fedi.

Sign up on another instance like lemm.ee, simple as that

Doesn’t help those of us that started communities on ml

Sure, but the person I was replying to seemed to imply that there is some lack of interoperability of apps in the Fediverse when the whole point of the Fediverse is interoperability not just between the different apps, but even different servers sharing the same protocol

They seem to have misunderstood that just because .ml decided to defederate from Kbin, they will never be able to interact with Kbin posts and comments on Lemmy when in reality you can just sign up on another instance and it works just fine. Or you host your own, and you control what you see

hmm seems lemmy.ml is restricting a lot of communities, going to [email protected] does not even have a message its banned from here. Is this a secret plot to get people to register with other servers?

You reached the end
