    @rikudou I’d also run into this. I run a bot on Lemmy.world and had to unmark it as a bot before it could interact with my Kbin instance

    That is indeed strange. This is an unofficial bot. Maybe contact the developer @rikudou@lemmings.world?

          Yep. And it’s visible on Lemmy. Someone else mentioned they had to untick the bot setting for it to be visible on Kbin, though I’m not sure I want to do that.

            Ok. My suspicion is that bot account only post locally within that instance and doesn’t federate the message. Maybe to avoid spamming the fediverse? Maybe ask the Lemmy devs.

              It works across Lemmy instances, I think this is on Kbin side.

                ow wait…! I know… It’s because Lemmy uses type ‘Service’ for the bot accounts. We will try to treat both user and service types the same in the near future.
