All links will be in the in the https://kbin.social/m/community@instance.tld format :)
Hey, thanks for the tip. If I click on one of the links, and go to, for example:
https://kbin.social/m/aiapps@lemmy.intai.techBut it says "404 Not Found" what does that mean? Is it just lag, or are we defederated from them, or ...?

2 0 ReplyThanks for the info, @frasassi! It's fascinating to see this develop, wish I had more dev ops skills to contribute!
2 0 ReplyBut sopuli.xyz is on 0.18 and some communities there work and some don't. There has to be something more

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing on some other communities.
2 0 ReplyI get the same from anything but kbin.social communities, including lemmy.world, so I don’t think it’s a lack federation.
1 0 ReplySome random items will work, and some instances seem to work better than others. I have a pretty good track record from communities on sopuli.xyz and I've managed to subscribe to a few from lemmy.world but it is probably just chance. I haven't been able to get a single community from sh.itjust.works to load despite seeing their users all over the place, federation is obviously working at least somewhat.
