Question about reliability of kbin federation (kbin.social)

I dunno if you've noticed but federation between kbin and lemmy is shaky at best. By doing even a quick comparison between some original instances and their kbin pages, it is easy to see that comments and sometimes entire threads do not get synced and are practically invisible to the other side.

Has there been any official acknowledgement of this issue, an analysis done on what % of content gets lost due to these syncing errors or anything of the sort? Are these failed syncs being logged somewhere and will there be a way to retry them a later point perhaps?

I understand that we had a lot of issues in the first month after the reddit exodus and I understand this is still immature software in active development, but the traffic must have stabilized by now and I feel like just losing data like this should be the first thing to get fixed if we want to have actual faith in a federation. If we're supposed to have different accounts for every instance in order to actually reliably get the content from there, then that kinda defeats the purpose of it after all.

You can check https://codeberg.org/kbin/kbin-core/issues to see if it's a known issue. If not, filing a ticket is more effective than a post here.

And please don't tag ernest. It's not a good way to bring issues to his attention. He can't keep up with hundreds of notifications.
