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

e.g. !RedditMigration@kbin.social

or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @ernest@kbin.social over the past few days.

That is so exciting, all of us playing together in here is such a cool concept.

[-] livus@kbin.social 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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!

[-] clueless_stoner@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Haha yep, this community is hosted on lemmy.world! And you're commenting from kbin. That's so cool!

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

[-] AnagrammadiCodeina@feddit.it 21 points 1 year ago
[-] ewe@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

This is being worked on on the Jerboa github. Sounds like it'll be addressed or at least mostly addressed in the next release.

The federation is now active and hello!

This has been the most fascinating last few days. Hello Lemmy from Kbin~

Time to start digging through communities/magazines for places to be!

Just started adding subscriptions to kbin magazines and I think it's starting to sink in that there is actually a decent-sized community growing here with a LOT more potential. The FediVerse being decentralized makes things feel a bit empty at first as it is now, but once you start hooking up to other platforms' content it immediately feels twice as big. The trick over time will be cross-platform development efforts that make things look and feel more seamless.

[-] CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Certainly in this case, because of how how much traffic kbin.social was getting and how long it was running unfederated.

How…? I think my head just exploded. 🤯

[-] AshDene@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

What is a reddit thread if not a root tweet with a bunch of replies (and replies to the replies) formatted in a way that you see the organization of the replies?

Great news, thanks for the heads-up! Hopefully, though, we get some way to search both Lemmy communities and Kbin magazines through one browser.

Having to use browse.feddit.de and kbin.social/magazines separately doesn't seem optimal.

[-] eee@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

yeah kbin and lemmy don't seem to interact very well... having two separate hives that don't talk to each other isn't good for the fediverse, it creates unnecessary fragmentation :(

[-] nevernevermore@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

Seeing lemmy posts on kbin this morning has me so excited. I don't even know how the R site can even compete with the fediverse at this rate

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

That explains why I've been seeing some people saying "magazine"

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

Hey, can you folks at Lemmy see this post from kbin.social yet?

[-] sparky@lemmy.pt 12 points 1 year ago

My home Lemmy doesn't seem to be able to find communities on kbin, when I search for something like !tech@kbin.social it just never resolves. :-/

[-] ElSapo@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] Perdendosi@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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/Utah@kbin.social), 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?

[-] CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago
  1. paste the full target url in search from lemmy, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/Utah
  2. now it's available at !Utah@kbin.social
[-] Perdendosi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Ah ha, I was trying to do the short url (!utah@kbin.social), and that wasn't working. Thanks!

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 :)

[-] Faendol@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

What's the difference between kbin and Lemmy? I thought they were just different instances of the same open source project with different host names.

[-] CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

They are different software with a compatible protocol also used by a handful of other software including Mastodon. There are other kbin instances like fedia.io and there are hundreds of Lemmy instances.

Since the beginning of the Reddit blackout, kbin.social had been running in isolation due to server load. Now it is fully integrated with the rest of us (I'm not on kbin at the moment).

[-] pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io 10 points 1 year ago

Different software. Kbin is written in PHP, Lemmy with Rust.

[-] derivator@feddit.de 15 points 1 year ago
[-] Faendol@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

I know! Why would they do that to themselves!

Lemmy and kbin are completely different Software but they can talk to each other with the same protocol.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
