@neatchee @daredevil I think perhaps someone has to post a link hosted on your instance for it to appear. For instance this works:
https://kbin.social/d/mastodon.social
but smaller instances like this:
https://kbin.social/d/pagan.plus
…don’t seem to, generating a 404 because no one has created a link or thread back to a pagan.plus post (although their users post over to kbin often). Possibly posting link (in the url field of Add a Link on Kbin) to an urusai.social hosted post will do the trick.
@Arotrios @readbeanicecream @daredevil this sounds very plausible. Unexpected, but it would make sense that kbin’s /d/ path is showing you the directory of content from your server’s local cache and not querying the target server.
Which kinda makes sense, honestly: since that feature is trying to list everything kbin knows about from the target server, populating it for the first time would definitely cause a significant load on that instance
@daredevil @neatchee - Looks like the linked post is what did the trick. I posted here to the Fediverse community to let them know about your instance (it’s pointed at your pinned intro post).
As such, this link is now working for daredevil:
https://kbin.social/d/urusai.social
And will allow subscriptions.
@Arotrios @readbeanicecream @daredevil and it answers my question: it is not the full server firehose, just the posts already known to the kbin server
Fantastic, this has been very enlightening. I appreciate your time and effort.
@Arotrios @readbeanicecream @daredevil now I’m really curious how it works when you subscribe to a server. Is it pulling in that server’s public and local feeds? Or is it only showing you posts from users on that server that your instance already knows about
I’ll keep an eye on our instance of urusai.social and let you know in the future
Only that it knows about to start, but I think that once it gets subscriptions to the domain, it starts pulling more automatically. I could be wrong, however - I’m not sure which activities aside from posting are federated.EDIT: I was wrong - the domain only grabs Threads, so Mastodon posts will likely not show up this way. They may get indexed if they’re sent to a kbin magazine using the
