I want to add a community that is essentially the Lemmy version of an existing subreddit (r/mcmansionhell). Is this allowed?

So is there a way to view this on kbin or do I always have to view it on sh.itjust.works?

you should be able to view it wherever you use lemmy. they're all federated

https://kbin.social/m/mcmansionhell@sh.itjust.works

This should work after searching the URL straight from kbin... but searching it right now gives me a 500 Server error. Seems like it's having technical issues.

I think It's because someone from Kbin needs to subscribe to it first. I just did that and the link works now. Though federation doesn't work retroactively, so the existing posts aren't showing up.

I've been getting 500s all day so it's most likely the server not being able to keep up with the Reddit migration

400s errors are server side. 500s errors are your side.

[-] ray@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Other way around. 400s are client errors, 500s are server errors.
