Because they don’t get listed by browse.feddit.de you’ll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines to browse “magazines”, which is what they call communities
e.g. !RedditMigration@kbin.social
or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration
Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @ernest@kbin.social over the past few days.
Does this mean you are posting this on lemmy.world and I am reading it on kbin?
For those of us new to the fediverse, this is so exciting!
Oh, i actually didn’t know Kbin (despite these posts lol) was being seen from Lemmy. Iirc when i first saw Kbin a few days ago, Kbin could see Lemmy but Lemmy couldn’t see Kbin. Ie it’s like it was a partial federation.
I’m curious on if that was accurate and if it was, what caused it in a technical sense. Given i’m a dev working on some ActivityPub stuff, i’m quite interested in it. Though i’ve not yet used the spec, clearly hah.
It was blocked by kbin having cloudflare DDoS protection enabled to reduce server load. I guess that blocks federation.
Wow this is neat!
How can I tell that a post is from another instance when browsing on Kbin? Just scanning the card for this thread, it isn’t apparent that it’s federated content.
Is looking at the username how you can tell where a post is coming from? I was so confused a while ago with posts saying “something something fellow Beehaw users!” and it was marked as (kbin.social) lol.
Yeah, that part is a little confusing. Because this is a link aggregation site, it’s currently set up to show the domain of whatever link is in the thread. But if it’s just a text post, because it’s being brought over here it self-reports that we’re looking at kbin.social.
If you have the top bar enabled from settings you can see where you’re currently looking at the top right.
@iAmTheTot @CodingAndCoffee @livus @BreadDog It has been the Fediverse long before the other Verses came long.
@livus @CodingAndCoffee And now I’m replying to it from Mastodon!
wow interesting. Mastadon has a decent app in place too doesn’t it? That might be the best usage experience for me actually. Mastadon on the phone, Kbin on a desktop. Especially if it all links up.
@waterbottleonashelf @CodingAndCoffee @livus this is what I’m sticking to as a replacement to reddit/app. I’ve been mainly visiting #kbin on desktop but now that it’s federated, a lot of magazines/threads I follow are showing up in my Mastodon app. This #fediverse stuff is great!
@pieceofthepie@social.n8e.dev @livus@kbin.social @CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world Oh good, it’s working again! I’m commenting from Calckey.
Total newb here, how does one collapse comment threads on the web browser version of kbin here? I’ve tried clicking around and don’t see some UI element or anything to indicate how to do such an action.
