    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!

        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.

        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.

      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.

      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.

    Jerboa seems to crash when clicking links with the ! point but I can do it from the desktop browser. This is great!

    When I click on the kbin links, it opens kbin. How do I see it while still on the lemmy site?

      If a user hard-codes or pastes a kbin URL then it’s going to stay a kbin URL.

      If a user goes to the effort of linking a community by relative name (which are different formats for kbin and lemmy respectively) then it’ll be a relative link that will keep you on your instance.

      This is one of the rough edges that the whole community is going to need to sort out.

    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.

      Lemmy instances don’t pull content (and make the link work) until someone searches for the relevant community.

        Thank you! It’s working for me now too.

        I’m still not getting how to force an instance to federate tho. I think I followed the instructions properly. Here’s what I did.

        1. I went to the link posted: https://lemmy/world/c/autism@kbin.social. That clearly didn’t work at first.
        2. Clicking on “Communities”
        3. Searching for “autism@kbin.social” (found no results)
        4. Searching for “kbin” which found asklemmy@kbin.social
        5. Went to asklemmy@kbin.social and was able to navigate it without any problems
        6. Went back to Communities and searched for “autism” which didn’t find autism@kbin.social again.

        What step did I miss?

    That explains why I’ve been seeing some people saying “magazine”

    I wish Kbin and Lemmy could agree on a format for linking communities

      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 is similar to Reddit. Mastodon is similar to twitter. Is there an easy analog for kbin?

      it seems to be an amalgamation of reddit and twitter

      they have ‘magazines’ which are like subreddits, but magazines can designate hashtags which appear on the ‘microblog’ tab of a magazine and seem to pull in posts from other fediverse instances such as Mastodon

      I’m still learning my way around but that is how I understand it

    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

      You’re using the Lemmy url syntax instead of the kbin one. Go to the kbin url and copy it exactly as it is, and search within Lemmy for that url.
