I sent the requesting admin from Kbin.earth screenshots and example thread links in DM, and with his or her permission, am sharing the most relevant part of the exchange here for the devs /admins:

I will take a closer look at the issue once I’m back from vacation. What I found in the server logs 'til yet was not very conclusive, except some errors coming from the Lemmy side (but I can’t say if they are the real reason).
Is there a way to see a user’s moderation history on kbin.earth like there is on lemmy? I picked a random thread with discrepancies in comment counts, and the missing chain is started by opiumfree, whose history ends a month ago there. I’m not familiar enough with how bans show up on mbin to know if there’s more that should show up, and I don’t see a way to filter by a specific user in the modlog.
Also, note that until 1.0 user tags only work in comments on lemmy.
The only way to see mod history on kbin/mbin is by digging through modlogs, one tedious page at a time, in reverse chronological order (and that assumes the mod actually lists a reason for the moderation). However, these modlogs do show information other modlogs don’t.
ETA: it’s not because she is moderated, though. It’s because of the federation issues. I just listed one example here.
I guess my point is that the federation issues seem to affect specific users, then. I poked at threads some more until I found nearly exactly the same issue with Cletus - history ends ~a month ago, more recent comments haven’t federated.
If it’s not an issue with having been moderated on kbin.earth, it still seems oddly user specific, and at least possibly time correlated for the two examples I’ve found so far. That might make it easier for blued_gear to figure out more about what goes wrong.
Dunno. I think Lemmy devs and mbin devs need to work together.
Maybe, but it seems somewhat specific to kbin.earth to me. The error logs blued_gear saw might help the right people understand the issue too and dig in further if there’s something that needs fixing either in mbin or lemmy.
The one other mbin instance using 1.10.1 that federates with grad doesn’t have the same issue with the same users at least:
- tardigram
- gehirneimer.de does not federate
- rimworld.gallery does not federate
- thebrainbin.org does not federate
- fedia.io and kbin.melroy.org both require sign ins
umm hello
Hey! Hope you’re not banned from kbin.earth, but I only gathered a single data point and having your history drop off like that made it seem possible.
