How to Enable Bot Content from Lemmy? (kbin.social)

I'm a mod over at lemmy.ca/c/torontobluejays, and a subscriber there who subs from Kbin mentioned in a post that they have not been able to see the bot-posted game day threads that are posted for each days Blue Jays Game. I've created an account here to confirm that, and it's the same for me as well. I also don't see any relevant settings to enable bot content. Can any of the Kbin guru's here help out?

The same thing seems to be happening with [email protected] and [email protected]. The former hasn't had a post show up on kbin since July 13th, while the later doesn't appear to have any posts at all. Initially I was thinking maybe it was due to the lemmy bug that mistakenly marks some connected instances as inactive and stops sending them updates. It may be specifically because these are bot accounts, though.

I believe this is specifically a bot account issue, because non-bot posts are still showing up as expected. On Lemmy, there's an option that toggles the visibility of bot generated content, but it doesn't seem to be a setting here.

Were any workarounds discovered? !cfb has started using a gameday bot as well, and I'd prefer not to have to set up another account.
