This “You Should Know” post is top of ~June, for good reason. This post announced the kbin.social Federation/compatibility with Lemmy.
A huge amount of test-posts from a wide-variety of instances came in to test the new federation abilities (including from kbin.social, one of the biggest kbin communities).
I think this post shows the hope that over the long-term, we can get federation across the larger fediverse. I don’t know if Mastodon is in the works, but these kinds of posts give hope.
The poster you’re talking to is from lemmy.click. The GUI looks completely from their point of view.

So life is a bit difficult since we’re all on different servers, and each server will have its own bugs with federation. But all in all, we’re able to communicate and try to work things out.
