This is something that could go in the FAQ. If the answer is to post to a community on another instance, I never figured out how to do that.

If the answer is to create a magazine, what is the process?

Thanks.

      That appears to be a bug. I’ve seen similar problems before but never on an active kbin community. Maybe @melroy@kbin.melroy.org has some idea?

        Searching on the handler should indeed find & create the user if not present:, eg. https://fedia.io/search?q=%40Gaeilge%40kbin.social However, fedia.io still seems to return “Empty”. I tried to do the same on my instance and that worked.

        I’m not sure what goes wrong, assuming kbin.social didn’t block fedia, then I suspect some kind of issue at fedia.io. I believe we need to debug this issue on the server-side. Hopefully @jerry@fedia.io can have a look at his logs when trying to execute the search query above and maybe find the root-cause that way.

          it is working for me as well. I’ll check to see if there was anything in the error logs.

            ok - just looked through logs and I am not seeing anything that looks related to this issue. There are a good number of error 500’s coming from kbin.social, but none appear to be around the time of these posts, nor associated with the referenced magazine.
