The timestamp was much appreciated, trust me lol.
And I agree. Right now things seem to be working best via lemmy.zip. The posts and comments, albeit small in number, seem to come across fine (plus their de-federation list is quite tiny so they aren't blocking much if anything).
Kbin.social, fedia.io, mbin.elroy and kbin.run aren't seeing things (and only kbin.social is even seeing the lemmy.zip SQ community, the other 3 aren't and searching isn't pulling it up to subscribe to trigger federation. kbin.earth does see lemmy.zip, and everything federated!...but kbin.earth can't see the SQ community I made on fedia.io (and is also way behind on Federation with kbin.social, but more up to date with it than fedia is), etc etc etc.
Edit: Ok fedia may be working better than it was.
Naw, I subbed here from .zip and dbzer0 days earlier and had seen a post federate already on both and this one still took well over 6h before I gave up watching and waiting for it to federate. ended up taking 12+ in the end and that was 2 days ago lol. Fedia is definitely out.
