Federation between kbin and Calckey

3 years ago by Brome to c/kbinMeta

I wanted to share some of my kbin articles by boosting them from my Calckey account, but I can't see them from Calckey. If I search for the kbin post from Calckey, either by using the "copy URL" or the "copy URL for the fediverse" link, nothing is found.

On the other hand, if I search for the post from a Mastodon account, it works, I can see the kbin post and boost it.

Any idea if the problem is on the kbin side or on the Calckey side?

EDIT: I believe actually it's because the thread is of type Link. Did you create it as type "Link?" If so, try recreating it as type "Thread."

I created a new "article" test post (https://kbin.social/m/longboarding/t/108991), and it was immediately federated to Calckey, so it looks like you were right! Thanks for the help!

Do you know if a bug report is already open for that issue?

You're welcome! Sort of. In general, Calckey and others (Mastodon as well) don't handle non-Note-type data very robustly. Those are used a lot with groups and Calckey doesn't really understand groups very well. It's know and it's on the road map, but I don't think this one example is a high priority at the moment (Link-type threads)

Huh. I'm experiencing the same thing. I can pull this post, but not the one you've linked to, from my personal Calckey instance. How odd.

The strange is: I was able to search for and find the current article from Calckey. But it still doesn't work with the other posts I created in magazines that I created (for instance it doesn't work with this one: https://kbin.social/m/longboarding/t/12309).

I don't know why the same action gets different results.

If your Calckey instance has Authorized Fetch/Secure Fetch enabled, this might prevent pulling, but I haven't tested that exact scenario yet.

But what is strange is that it works for some posts, and doesn't work for some others. For instance I could search for and find the current article.

I edited my reply, but I believe it's because the type is a Link, not a Thread. Can you try recreating the thread but as type "Thread?"
