YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content - Lemmy.world (lemmy.world)

This "You Should Know" post is top of ~June, for good reason. This post announced the kbin.social Federation/compatibility with Lemmy.

A huge amount of test-posts from a wide-variety of instances came in to test the new federation abilities (including from kbin.social, one of the biggest kbin communities).

I think this post shows the hope that over the long-term, we can get federation across the larger fediverse. I don't know if Mastodon is in the works, but these kinds of posts give hope.

I‘ve been commenting and upvoting stuff on lemmy all day long from kbin, no idea how that would be possible if they weren‘t federated.

Federation was turned back on well before this was posted. Like probably a day or two or three ago.

It was federating last week. So this post is just a few days late lol.
