Noticed I got banned by the admins from lemmy.world shower thoughts yesterday. The admins have an interesting reason though.

Banned
roguetrick from the community Showerthoughts
reason: This account is currently sending large amounts of unusual activities to Lemmy.World. This community ban is an attempt to mitigiate the issue without blocking kbin.social entirely. The issue needs to be addressed on kbin.social prior to us being able to lift this community ban.

    I realize that a magazine I made isn’t available through lemmy.world and lemmy.ml and some communities from there aren’t available here. Does someone know why?

      Normally if nobody from an instance has subscribed it doesn’t show up in searches from that instance. You have to manually type the exact url and subscribe that way. Once one person has done it, it will show up.

        I tried, but it doesn’t work. Is this something that will change in the future?

          To newly federate a magazine with Lemmy, search for it using the syntax !Polytopia@kbin.social in Lemmy’s built-in search. This worked for me instantly when I just tested it on lemm.ee, after confirming that it 404s before doing it.
