I feel like I'm missing out on the hype using kbin.social (kbin.social)

Most of the communities I'm interested in are on lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc where they have a large activity there, but the UI/UX of kbin is what's holding me here.

However, I feel like not all upvotes downvotes and even comments are federated to kbin, so I never get to experience the real hype of certain posts.

I'm wondering where the bottleneck is? Is it a certain i stance not pushibg to kbin.social, or is it kbin.social not being able to handle this huge amount of streams?

Also, if it's the latter, would I have a better experience if I were to host kbin myself?

There were talks of lemmy.ml limiting kbin but I don't know if that was ever verified. There are other kbin instances you could try and see.

I use apps so lemmy experience is ahaping up to be pretty good for me.

It was verified and fixed, so users on kbin. social should at least be able to see their posts now https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/173366/lemmy-ml-is-no-longer-shadowbanning-kbin

We on kbin could always see lemmy.ml, it was their server which was accidentally misconfigured to reject information originating from kbin. As you say it has now been resolved.

.ml unblocked the kbinBot UA a couple days ago so as new posts and comments are made it should be syncing up. there are still a few instances out there that seem to not federate as well (in particular beehaw doesn't seem to be federating beyond community discovery) but i believe that's just some reverse proxy misconfiguration (the lemmy-ansible nginx config had some federation related fixes with the release of 0.18.1 they may not have applied) rather than anything intentional
