hello from the admin of fedi196.gay!
we’re a smaller kbin instance so you can use us to guage federation, everything seems to be working perfectly 😄What a fabulous server name! 🌈
Paging from the kbin.social side!
Hello from https://readit.buzz
One of the things I’m really enjoying about this jump to the fediverse is watching everyone try things to get a better understanding. Gives me first telephone call vibes. Lots of “does this work?” “HEY it does work!”
I got both, and jumping in between to try to grasp, and it’s working, and it’s confusing, and I don’t care, yay!
Houston, kbinaut from kbin.social calling.
Can confirm.
hello, yes. federation is working much better now on kbin so we can see lemmy stuff :)
Reading from kbin.social, the flagship kbin instance. All clear.
@tunetardis Hello! from the Irish Mastodon ( mastodon.ie ).
We also can read/reply you from here.Irish Mastadon. That would be a good name for a celtic band…
sour was here ._.
When will we be able to use Lemmy apps for Kbin?
As far as I understand it, never, unless someone makes an API proxy. They both use activitypub for federation but the client side API is totally different.
👋🏾
Hello from the other side - kbin.social
That is how the federation works! Also can see posts on other platforms like Mastodon, calckey, plerma. Enjoy!
It entirely took me way too long to figure out how to sub to other fediverse communities from within kbin.
Can you share this secret information?
From the top bar, click on Magazines. There should be search bar where you can search for lemmy communities/kbin magazines.
I searched for “canada” and there are many results of different Canada communities from different fediverse instances. Click subscribe on the right and you’ll see posts in those communities appear in your sub feed.
Can you tell me why [email protected] doesn’t show up when I do a magazine search on kbin.social?
@AndILearnedSomething Are you sure mls is on lemmy.world? I only see a mls@lemmy.ml community.
I went to lemmy.world and searched for the mls local community and I don’t see it there.
https://lemmy.world/c/mls <– doesn’t workEither way, you have the right idea, you put the community name after https://kbin.social/m/ , except without the !.
However when I tried https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] it still didn’t work while other communities like https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] work. So I don’t have a solid answer for you for why its not showing up in kbin. Perhaps someone else who’s an expert can chime in. My hunch is that there’s some slowness where kbin has not noticed there is a new mls community on lemmy.ml because of all the new people joining and its causing hiccups
kbin uses the @username style. So replace the ! with @ and search again. Same for usernames and communities/magazines
Just type the community name into the search bar on kbin. As an example:
Or
