This may be useful for folks looking to expand their feed. I discovered this on accident and it completely revolutionized my experience on Kbin.
To view all of an instance’s posts, just use https://kbin.social/d/[instance domain here]
This appears to work for all Kbin instances, most Lemmy instances, and some Mastodon instances (this may have to do with their federation with kbin.social - I’m uncertain). Other platforms may work as well. Some examples:
https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.world
https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.ml
https://kbin.social/d/geddit.social
https://kbin.social/d/mastodon.social
https://kbin.social/d/hachyderm.io
Just hit the button to subscribe, and the entire instance is in your feed. It also provides a nice jumping off point to explore and subscribe to specific communities on that instance.
When you use this technique with a list like what’s available from the Fediverse Observer, it really widens the reach of your feed and your ability to participate across the Fediverse.
Anyone know how to save a post on kbin? I’ve been rooting around and haven’t been able to figure it out.
How are the titles generated for non-threadiverse posts, like those from Mastodon?
Thanks for this. Didn’t know!
When I try to subscribe, it asks me to log in. How do I log in with my .world ID, not start a new one?
You can’t. You’re trying to do something on kbin.social (or another kbin instance), which isn’t the instance you’re on.
If you want to use kbin, you’ll need to, well, use kbin. The instances talk to each other, but you don’t have an account on one just from having an account on the other.
You aren’t necessarily viewing all of an instances posts this way- you’re just viewing all posts from a particular instance that are federated with your instance. You can see different /d/lemmy.world feeds from different kbin instances, for example, depending on which lemmy communities are federated with that instance.
