lemmy but better, you can see lemmy content from kbin too! greetings from kbin!
What makes KBin better?
Don't forget you can also see and interact with Mastodon tweets (toots?) in kbin as well.
One problem with kbin is that the whole federation of instances thing didn't work so well there. It seems all the users and all the content is one one server: kbin.social.
This is concerning since it introduces a single point of failure.
There are other instances like kilioa.org andothers I can't remember but kbin.social is absolutely the 'flagship' so to speak with over 40k users. They are trying to encourage more to go to the others.
I got on kbin.social since I didn't know a ton about all this and figured things would go easier on the 'main' instance.
Ernest did get the server upgraded and federation fixed and all that. He's got a post about it on @kbinmeta
That's good, I'll check out those magazines
No, federation was temporary disabled to make the server survive the huge influx of new people.
Check https://kbin.social/ and you see plenty of content from Lemmy instances.
