Hello! You may have noticed that the majority of posts and threads in your feed on Kbin are from within the platform itself. This is because the admin has activated Cloudflare DDoS protection which basically slows down requests to kbin, to prevent the website from experiencing downtime or becoming slow to respond.
Before implementing this measure, Kbin would often show 500 errors and be sluggish in its performance.
The admin (ernest), has been working on finding solutions.
So hopefully, everything should go back to how it was before, and you will see a lot more posts from the communities you have subscribed to with a bunch of comments from other places.
In my opinion, this also created an interesting situation where you can really see how active kbin is even when the discovery of posts from outside the platform is not functioning as intended.
Rest assured, this is only temporary, and in the meantime, take the opportunity to create and grow communities from within kbin itself!
Yes, it is normal. Basically, when you search for a community on Kbin for the first time (a community that was recently created, that no one else has searched for), it gets “saved” on kbin.
However, it won’t show you any posts that were made before kbin discovered that community. It will only display posts from that moment and onwards.
The message is telling you that the community may not have all the previous posts, and if you want to see them, you need to visit the community’s specific page or instance.
