kbin paused federation while they dealt with the server/network issues, but was federated before that. kbin is actually larger than lemmy.world.

Who is “they”? The users, or the communities? Beehaw creates the communities, that’s why there are relatively few, so I don’t see that Beehaw communities would have much reason to move anyway. Beehaw has no create community button.

Yeah I think it is. If you go to settings you can change the default (under “Type”).

It doesn’t seem like they’ve been doing things like that at all.

You can find some in beehaw’s list of blocked instances.

Not really. Usually you have to request the community vs creating it yourself. Allows the admins to curate.

There’s a good chance your account was activated. I don’t think notifications were going out for a bit.

One would hope! I can find results from lemmy instances on Google - they are definitely crawling them, but their page rank is going to start out very low.

This has to be the first time I’ve seen someone praising reddit search, as opposed to a search engine.

Try changing the type to what you’re looking for. By default it will show all. Otherwise I’m not too sure what the issue is, if I search “brining up Reddit” this post is the result.

That’s kind of the point. Reddit still benefits from that content.
