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.
If its something small and niche, use the general kbin search bar and search for the full lemmy url. This will “establish” the connection and get things running with some time. you can do this for communities/magazines as well. If you’re the first to search, it won’t show up, even with @instance looking.
