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.
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!
Haha yep, this community is hosted on lemmy.world! And you’re commenting from kbin. That’s so cool!
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.
It was disabled until mere hours ago!
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.
If you have the top bar enabled, you can see it at the top on the right hand side.
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.
We don’t have it yet. Kbin is really new, and we kind of swamped the dev with our sudden influx. It’s on people’s wishlists though, so I’m sure we will have it in future!
Yup, exactly. Welcome to the fediverse!
Can we please call it literally anything else? I’m tired of “verses”.
Sure. Welcome to the federanus.
…which is now open for business!
