The posts in Kbin don’t seem to move much the last few days I’ve been using it, but if I go somewhere like lemmy.world the content is always pretty fresh

Is KBin just slow or is there something fundamental I don’t understand about federation? (Likely)

    Every instance has two queues - and outbox and an inbox. Either or both of those, on lemmy.world or kbin.social or both, could be full, leading to federation delays.

    If you see a post on lemmy.world that doesn’t exist on kbin then it could mean the post is still in the Lemmy outbox OR in the kbin inbox. Both servers are popular so it could be either.

    It would be helpful if queue sizes were shown on a status page somewhere…
