I’m on mobile right now. I tested and this does not happen on other kbin instances. It also seems to happen with some magazines but not others and I’m not sure why—best guess is some of the magazines are totally new to this instance and some are not.
there’s a manual retry period i added for things that fail to federate correctly the first time, but yes… it’s a little sketchy right now. it could also be something with this latest development code. the comparison between kbin instances is a little bit of a pain right now since we don’t tag the releases with version numbers. i will say there are several federation improvements with pull requests ready to get merged into the code, but @ernest hasn’t approved them yet.
