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.
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know.
Also, please do not forget to include a “Why YSK:” in your post’s body text.
done, thanks!
No worries! Happy fediversing :)
That is so exciting, all of us playing together in here is such a cool concept.
Jerboa seems to crash when clicking links with the ! point but I can do it from the desktop browser. This is great!
Smoothest crash ever tho!
This is being worked on on the Jerboa github. Sounds like it’ll be addressed or at least mostly addressed in the next release.
Glad to hear!
Had to try and it yep it is.
That’s looking at the bright side lol
“Good news everyone”
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!
Haha yep, this community is hosted on lemmy.world! And you’re commenting from kbin. That’s so cool!
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 disabled until mere hours ago!
So does that mean I can see kbin posts in lemmy.world? I’m using the mlem app on IOS btw
It was blocked by kbin having cloudflare DDoS protection enabled to reduce server load. I guess that blocks federation.
Hmm, surely there must be a way to whitelist other instances you want to federate with so they don’t get blocked by cloudflare…
I’m sure you can do that in cloudflare but it’d require whitelisting every Lemmy instance that you want to federate with on kbin’s end, which is a bit much.
It’s super cool! My mind is now blown!
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.
If you have the top bar enabled, you can see it at the top on the right hand side.
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.
I’m still trying to work that out too.
@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.
Yup, exactly. Welcome to the fediverse!
Oh, wow, thanks! I love it that my first inter-fediverse communication was you welcoming me, too.
I come in peace :)
Can we please call it literally anything else? I’m tired of “verses”.
Sure. Welcome to the federanus.
The backdoor of the internet.
A very deep hole to go into
…which is now open for business!
Thank you, much better
It’s late where I am. I’m still laughing though, thank you very much :-D
Welcome to the Federales
@iAmTheTot @CodingAndCoffee @livus @BreadDog It has been the Fediverse long before the other Verses came long.
Universe definitely came along first
@themz true.
@livus @CodingAndCoffee and I’m reading this on mastodon!
Amazing!
I was trying to do this on Monday and couldn’t, so I thought it wasn’t possible. But now, here we are, and here it is!
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.
We don’t have it yet. Kbin is really new, and we kind of swamped the dev with our sudden influx. It’s on people’s wishlists though, so I’m sure we will have it in future!
Vulcan is reading this from kbin.social
The federation is now active and hello!
This has been the most fascinating last few days. Hello Lemmy from Kbin~
Hello there! :D
So cool ^^
Time to start digging through communities/magazines for places to be!Stop by https://lemmy.fmhy.ml and check out our communities!
Hot damn that is awesome
Just started adding subscriptions to kbin magazines and I think it’s starting to sink in that there is actually a decent-sized community growing here with a LOT more potential. The FediVerse being decentralized makes things feel a bit empty at first as it is now, but once you start hooking up to other platforms’ content it immediately feels twice as big. The trick over time will be cross-platform development efforts that make things look and feel more seamless.
Certainly in this case, because of how how much traffic kbin.social was getting and how long it was running unfederated.
Seeing lemmy posts on kbin this morning has me so excited. I don’t even know how the R site can even compete with the fediverse at this rate
Great news, thanks for the heads-up! Hopefully, though, we get some way to search both Lemmy communities and Kbin magazines through one browser.
Having to use browse.feddit.de and kbin.social/magazines separately doesn’t seem optimal.
yeah kbin and lemmy don’t seem to interact very well… having two separate hives that don’t talk to each other isn’t good for the fediverse, it creates unnecessary fragmentation :(
Testing replying from kbin.social
Yup, it’s federating successfully.
Thank you!
That explains why I’ve been seeing some people saying “magazine”
I wish Kbin and Lemmy could agree on a format for linking communities
Hey, can you folks at Lemmy see this post from kbin.social yet?
yes
We can!
this also works for other stuff using activitypub as well btw, not just lemmy but also platforms like mastodon, peertube etc
I can!
I’m able to see it.
Yes, I can.
My home Lemmy doesn’t seem to be able to find communities on kbin, when I search for something like !tech@kbin.social it just never resolves. :-/
Try pasting the browser url as it is in kbin, instead of using the Lemmy syntax. I know it’s goofy but it works.
Neither seems to work for me, maybe federation is overloaded with the sudden influx? I’ll report back if it ends up working.
I tried finding https://kbin.social/m/photoshopbattles Search wouldn’t bring anything up but I copied the url from kbin into the community search bar on lemmy, hit search, nothing…then I refreshed the page and searched it again and it popped up. I had to copy the url from the web browser bar.
I’ve tried all different ways to find https://kbin.social/m/mma but none of them are federating
I was able to find the RedditMigration ‘magazine’ though, so it is hit or miss for me
Must still be some growing pains, because your instance definitely doesn’t have kbin.social blocked.
same
I tried joining some kbin magazines from here (E.G: https://lemmy.world/c/Aquariums@kbin.social and https://lemmy.world/c/houseplants@kbin.social ). It did work but I’m unable to see any post from those communities. Instead the one you linked ( https://lemmy.world/c/RedditMigration@kbin.social ) works perfectly (even for newest posts/comments). Is there any fix ? EDIT: To add more troubleshooting info, It doesn’t say pending, it correctly says “joined” but still no posts.
The federation/sync of content seem to be slow and work on the newest posts first.
First time I checked https://lemmy.world/c/Cats@kbin.social I only saw one post but now there are four.
And a whole lot more at the original: https://kbin.social/m/CatsYeah but I got to c/Vancouver for example but idk how to subscribe from kbin as I don’t see a button from that :/
