Federation of bot comments from Lemmy to Kbin (lemmings.world)

How does federation of bots work? I was testing whether my bot will reply on Kbin and while I see it on the Lemmy side (https://lemmings.world/post/71345), the reply is not visible on Kbin side (https://kbin.social/m/ChatGPT/t/197430/I-created-a-ChatGPT-bot-for-Lemmy).

Or is there any other reason the response isn't visible?

@rikudou I'd also run into this. I run a bot on Lemmy.world and had to unmark it as a bot before it could interact with my Kbin instance

That is indeed strange. This is an unofficial bot. Maybe contact the developer @[email protected]?

I'm the developer.

Ow wait you are! 😑😅! How do you posts those replies? Are you using an Api from Lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep. And it's visible on Lemmy. Someone else mentioned they had to untick the bot setting for it to be visible on Kbin, though I'm not sure I want to do that.

Ok. My suspicion is that bot account only post locally within that instance and doesn't federate the message. Maybe to avoid spamming the fediverse? Maybe ask the Lemmy devs.

It works across Lemmy instances, I think this is on Kbin side.

ow wait..! I know.. It's because Lemmy uses type 'Service' for the bot accounts. We will try to treat both user and service types the same in the near future.
