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.
That is so exciting, all of us playing together in here is such a cool concept.
Is there a way to collapse comments in kbin?
Not yet. Ernest is still working on improving the UI, but honestly he probably has such a giant pile on his desk that we can’t really tell when what will happen, or if something will be added at all unless he’s currently working on it.
Lemmy instances don’t pull content (and make the link work) until someone searches for the relevant community.
When I click on the kbin links, it opens kbin. How do I see it while still on the lemmy site?
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.
Now I’m curious, can KBin users be mods on Lemmy instances, and can Lemmy users moderate Kbin magazines?
Well I don’t know about that, but “appoint as mod” option still exists when I select your comment. Maybe we can make a test community to find out the answer haha
I didn’t expect this so soon. Great job, Earnest and team!
@CodingAndCoffee So nice to be able to comment on this straight from Mastodon, too. Though it’s weird that the existing comments don’t show up on Mastodon when I paste the URL to this post in my search box (t)here.
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!
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.
Yup, exactly. Welcome to the fediverse!
Can we please call it literally anything else? I’m tired of “verses”.
Sure. Welcome to the federanus.
…which is now open for business!
That explains why I’ve been seeing some people saying “magazine”
I wish Kbin and Lemmy could agree on a format for linking communities
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!
Had to try and it yep it is.
That’s looking at the bright side lol
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!
OH THATS how you search for specific magazines on here (I am on kbin)!
Vulcan is reading this from kbin.social
The federation is now active and hello!
@CodingAndCoffee So you’re saying I can reply to this from Mastodon also?
EDIT: please reply if you see this from kbin/lemmy 😅
Seeing this from kbin. The future is now.
Haha tried making an account on kbin.social - can’t log in.
The future is tomorrow.
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.
