(Reminder: if you have shared the original version in a public post with an old version up, replacing it with this one might be more helpful.)

I want to preface, if you see a mistake in the image or have something helpful to add, go right ahead! I still have the layered files for this, so edits can be made very quickly. I chose to handwrite the text to avoid font copyright infringement.

Feel free to share this poster as you wish, especially on Reddit. All I ask is that you respect the license and don’t remove my socials at the bottom. If anyone’s addition is included, I’ll credit them, and if this gets added onto (or translated) by someone else later, they can add their info as well.

I hope someone can find it useful with the subreddit blackouts right around the corner.

I want to thank the Beehaw admins so much for their amazing work!

(Poster edited; I spotted a duplicated word, mrmanager@lemmy.today noted the lack of whitespace; current version is slightly larger and has been spaced out. You can still request the 800x2000 size, but know it is a little squished.)

(Edit 2: Removed defederation part as it’s not really required. The email analogy blackcoffee@beehaw.org suggested has been added, thanks!)

(Edit 3: Here’s another version making the interconnectivity a bit clearer and mentioning some cool-looking reader apps that have been suggested! Also made the image slightly longer for ease of viewing. I might do some small cosmetic changes tomorrow)

(I’ll put out Edit 4 tomorrow, which will include the date the edit was made, will clarify mlem only being available through TestFlight, will mention other Kbin instances, as well as a reminder to confirm emails with any new signup in a timely fashion. Thank you all for the help and tips!)

Really well put together. Very succinct but with enough information to get people started.

I find that for not tech people trying to deal with such terms like fediverse, kbin, Lemmy, instance, protocol might be quite overwhelming and even off-putting. I am saying this because I used to do software development and still took me a bit to get my head around it.

[-] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Can someone clarify for me - can I 'add' a kbin community to the Lemmy instance I'm on in the same way as any other community? For the first time I'd need to type !news@kbin.social for example (if no-one else had already added that community in my instance)? I ask because I tried to do that, and it doesn't come up under the listed communities. But maybe that's because kbin is overloaded?

How can i collapse comments?

[-] icanmakesound@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the info! Been here for a few days but it can still be a little confusing.

[-] billbennett@mastodon.nz 2 points 1 year ago

@unsunny that link doesn’t appear to work

[-] Deemo@bookwormstory.social 1 points 1 year ago

Quick question is there normally a long federation delay between kbin and Lemmy?

For example while making a post/comment may be instantaneous, I noticed when using the edit feature for comment title there is a massive delay (6+ hrs sync delay for title change).

Curious is this common or more of a one off

[-] PiedPipetter@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I was confused by "instance instances" in the first starred note.

[-] wreck@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

You are a saint.

[-] Skooshjones@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

Great work on this guide!

[-] Hellebert@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The Jerboa for Lemmy app can communicate with several different servers including Kbin and Beehaw. I'm using it right now!

[-] not_a_dog@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

It works with any federated Lemmy server, of which I think there's over a thousand, now.

[-] Hellebert@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Looks like you can just type an address in which is great. It's a shame they didn't include KBin in the preset list in the big update we just had though.

[-] em2@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

They didn't? Under instances, I see kbin.social listed.

[-] Hellebert@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's interesting because I have the update and KBin.social is definitely not listed nor can you manually type it in to work either. This is on Android at least.

[-] em2@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, my mistake. I'm on lemmy.ml and just noticed you're on beehaw.org.

When I wanted to add a specific community from kbin I pasted the entire url into my search bar. It'll take a little bit to find it and sync, but it's now recognized it my instance. Maybe give that a try?

I cant add my account on mlem. I wonder if I am putting in the correct information for homepage.

[-] navydevildoc@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I can’t even find mlem in the App Store, so you are one step ahead of me.

[-] Fullburn@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's in beta you you have to grab the Testflight app from the store, then go to https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc on your device and you're in. I just figured this out myself lol.

Extremely useful & consice! Thanks for the work ~

[-] cielnova@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I'm still not entirely sure of how it works, but I still think this was really useful. Thanks for the info

[-] CrimsonFlash@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Question: Why are multiple communities allowed with the same name? Won't that create too much confusion? beehaw.org/c/community is different than lemmy.ml/c/community. Wouldn't it be better that all subs go to a single instance, no matter what the TLD is?

"You can use a mastodon account to use lemmy"

What do you mean?
