I’m out of the loop.

    This is due to Kbin using Cloudflare anti DDoS, which disallows Lemmy instances reaching it

      That seems to go against the goal of federation.

        It’s a matter of keeping kbin up at all at the moment. The rapid growth in users following Reddit’s ongoing suicide has overloaded the instance. It’s a temporary measure that Ernest will turn off when additional resources can be obtained. He is not a fan of losing federation either.

        Indeed, but my guess is that Kbin’s admins don’t really know. Also that’s what I’ve read, it may very well not be that :p
