I don’t fully understand it either, but I’m on kbin right now and I can see this entire thread. It’s very cool!

I think the biggest problem I have is that the magazines exist but have little to no activity.

I and a few other posted in /m/motorcycles but I don’t think there’s been any activity since.

Interesting, that community doesn’t show anything when I browse to it from kbin.

What I’m doing is clicking the magazines button at the top of the kbin page and searching for motorcycles. I see kbin.social/m/motorcycles which is where I’ve posted and commented. At the end of the search list I see the lemmy.world/c/motorcycles community, but it shows no activity and only 1 subscriber. When I click on it, I get a message saying “The magazine from the federated server may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.”

When I click the link to browse more, it takes me to the actual lemmy.world page where there is a bit of content and I can see that there are roughly 250 subscribers.

Maybe I’m not understanding how federation works, because I was under the impression that I was supposed to be able to interact with communities from lemmy.world (or other federated instances) from within kbin.social. I must be missing something and I consider myself somewhat technical so I imagine this is extra confusing for someone non-technical.

I’m still really curious to hear what happens after the whistleblower case is resolved (if the public is told anything at all).

I watched an interview with him on News Nation just out of curiosity and I get the sense that he believes what he’s saying, however I don’t believe that the government would be capable of covering up the existence of some sort of non-human intelligence. I like the idea of being one of many different life forms in the universe, but so far no evidence has convinced me that humanity has discovered anything that indicates that we aren’t alone.

I’m also confused because some of those communities that are on other instances such as lemmy.world actually have activity even though they don’t display anything in kbin. For instance the lemmy.world motorcycles community has activity but none of that is displayed when searching for motorcycles via kbin.

Maybe there are issues with the data being synced back and forth not happening as expected and what I’m observing is unintended behavior.

Hey I’m new too! We’re all figuring this out together, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I was able to donate to Ernest who runs kbin. I can’t find the link at the moment but it is floating around here somewhere.

I like these ideas.

Nice! I’ve just been browsing all and sorting by new hoping to stumble across activity but this should be helpful.
