Just saw the post over at reddit. Decided to just move here now cause of all the shit happening over at Reddit.

Wow, that's quality armor! Can't see the sidebar on your instance? Click here: https://kbin.social/m/random/p/490553/Banned-content-Unmarked-spoilers-of-PvE-content-less-than-two

I don't think I'll use kbin a lot for now.
But better grab the name just in case.
It's slow going for now. I'm just glad we have a reddit-like place to go in case reddit collapses further.
Slow-going is way more my speed (as I reply 2 days late and it doesn't even seem weird), so here's hoping it sticks. I haven't exactly been a fan of reddit for some years, but the gw2 sub has been one of the few that made it worth putting up with.
The following unviversal subscribe links should work from/on any lemmy instance (which already knows about the community on lemmy.wtf or kbin.social, i. e. at least one user has searched for it.)
Dunno, if there is a kbin equivalent. Maybe the following works on a kbin instance (as soon as the Remote Magazines are known)?
@man0fbass@kbin.social
Do you think that we can get https://lemmy.wtf/c/guildwars2 mentioned as a lemmy partner site on r/guildwars, too?
I have no control over what the subreddit mods do. If you'd like to speak with them, I'd recommend a modmail.
Nice of them to link here, it's still a small community but that's not always a bad thing, and neither is moving away from reddit as much as possible since things there are just going to get worse there. It's still early tech but it works well most of the time and has really great potential, especially now that it gained popularity and additional developers/funding due to the reddit boost.
As for @guildwars2, I don't think we're able to connect to them at all for some reason. I can't find them in the browser to subscribe to them, and their kbin page (https://kbin.social/m/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf) is 404-ing meaning it was never even synced (nobody ever subscribed to it).
When I saw, that the gw2 reddit didn't stick with their blackout, i created an account with kbin.social
I was also able to subscribe to https://kbin.social/m/GuildWars2
Wow. I am feeling a bit more than disappointed by this move.
I mean, I guess all well and good for everyone that just wants to go back there, but frankly for me? this makes me want to never do it now, even when I might have maaaybe considered it before had they stuck to what they said they would do.
I made some nice friends there and will miss them, but I think the environment is frankly just not worth it anymore.
As for @guildwars2, I don't think we're able to connect to them at all for some reason. I can't find them in the browser to subscribe to them, and their kbin page (https://kbin.social/m/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf) is 404-ing meaning it was never even synced (nobody ever subscribed to it).
It seems that federation between Lemmy and Kbin is broken again. For some reason, it is still possible to connect to communities that was connected before federation broke, but not newer communities:
Works
https://kbin.social/m/selfhosted@lemmy.world
Doesn't work
https://kbin.social/m/xcode@lemmy.world
It is a bit different though, I can search for xcode@lemmy.world and actually find it: https://i.imgur.com/Pf7k3jO.png
Now that I've actually searched for it once the page you linked should actually start working too instead of throwing a 404.
This never happens with guildwars2@lemmy.wtf, search always returned nothing. It really looks like something specific between lemmy.wtf and kbin.social.
May this still be caused by the Cloudflare Challenge as pointed out in the following lemmy issue on GitHub or has this been solved already?
Would it matter when you are trying to reach lemmy.wtf from kbin.social? The Cloudflare Challenge shouldn't do anything for outgoing from Kbin.social.
I use Cloudflare and Cloudflare Tunnel for lemmy.wtf as well, so maybe Cloudflare is blocking Kbin.social's request?
As far as I understand you are both using Cloudflare and I assume that the Cloudflare Challange only hits incoming connections, but I have no practical experience with Cloudflare myself.
Anyway, when both lemmy.wtf as well as kbin.social are using Cloudflare, then traffic is always incoming via Cloudflare whenever those instances are trying to communicate/federate with each other.
I've found posts which suggest to exclude certain paths/URLs from bot detection thereby suppressing the Challenge when a bot does what a bot is supposed to do, but there also appears to be an Essentially off setting which one could try temporarily to see whether this solves the issue.
Looks like kbin.social's IP is registered on Cloudflare's DNS servers, but the IP belongs to Fastly.
Maybe running a lemmy or kbin instance behind Cloudflare isn't such a good idea after all. Apart from communication problems like federation not working properly there are some serious privacy concerns or rather running federated network traffic through a centralized US based network service kinda contradicts the whole fediverse idea.
Yes, I believe cloudflare blocks federation.
Only between kbin and Lemmy, but why?
I don't know. Some people over in the kbinmeta group might have an answer for you. I just know that when kbin had cloudflare turned on we couldn't communicate with anyone outside of kbin.
I am now able to find https://kbin.social/search?q=guildwars%40lemmy.wtf but not https://kbin.social/search?q=guildwars2%40lemmy.wtf
That makes zero sense...
I can see both communities now.
Yes, it it finally working now :D
https://kbin.social/m/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf
Only issue is the delay, but I am thinking this is because kbin.social is strained from all the new users.
