YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content
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
This is great but I am still unable to search for communities in kbin. At least I tried !politics and !opensource a few time the last few minutes but still no result.
I haven’t been able to join Kbin magazines by searching in the !magazine format, but when I just paste the URL from Kbin into the search I’ve been able to add them that way.
@serfraser@youshouldknow What's happening? Are you on an instance and want to see everyone's comments/post on other instances? What client are you using? Are you on the website? Are you on desktop ?
I tried joining some kbin magazines from here (E.G: lemmy.world/c/[email protected] and lemmy.world/c/[email protected] ). It did work but I’m unable to see any post from those communities. Instead the one you linked ( lemmy.world/c/[email protected] ) 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.
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
hello. can confirm. I'm on kbin.social right now and seeing this thread. I'm not sure federating is entirely up just yet but it's working a lot better/faster than it was these past few days. Definitely seeing an influx of beehaw and lemmy world users and posts :)
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.
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.
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.
@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.
So I’m looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I’ve tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/[email protected]), I’ve tried searching in the “communities” search, and I’m just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?
