Wow, that's quality armor! Can't see the sidebar on your instance? Click here: https://kbin.social/m/random/p/490553/Banned-content-Unmarked-spoilers-of-PvE-content-less-than-two

Wouldn't it be better to merge than to compete?

Edit: Looks like the community on lemmy.ml is pretty much dead.

All of them can and should co-exist. The whole point of federated social media is that there's no centralized power. More on that here: https://kbin.social/m/guildwars2/p/437854/Hi-folks-I-m-adding-a-new-rule-under-Allowed-Content

Thank you for posting these by the way; it's important that folks are aware of other instances.

Agreed. Wouldn't mind to subscribe on all 3 and get posts to my feed.

Additionally, Lemmy and Kbin are being actively developed, maybe this new wave of people pushes them to create tools so that you can combine magazines and communities into one metafeed/community where you see all the posts to all three communities.

Maybe we can even have multi-communities, soon. At least on lemmy instances. Dunno whether kbin supports this already or is going to.

Support for grouping communities / multi-communities #818

Are you able to bring up [email protected] through kbin? I keep getting a 404

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yep, for some reason that one is not working. Not sure why.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Not only you, I can't bring up any lemmy.wtf communities through kbin right now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I see many people here have issues subscribing to [email protected]. I also get a 404 error when going to [https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]](https://kbin.social/m/[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])), but I also get the same error when going to [https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]](https://kbin.social/m/[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])).

Any community I try with on Lemmy.ml doesn’t work. Did federation break again? I am not able to subscribe to this community from Lemmy.wtf either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Take out the ! in your URL. That will make the other lemmy communities start working but the .wtf still doesn't work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

You are right. Now everything else works except for communities on Lemmy.wtf. I’ve checked the logs and I can’t see anything. Tried subscribing from here to Lemmy.wtf and from Lemmy.wtf to kbin.social, but I can’t subscribe. The weird thing is that I can see 3 other users on Lemmy.wtf is subscribed to here, so it did work at some point.

What about trying these:
https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

Selfhosted works, Xcode does not. Do you get the same results?

My guess is federation with kbin is broken again.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I can't seem to pull up the lemmy.wtf one through my Kbin login. I can view it on their instance but I want to subscribe

Honestly, the one with best moderators that put effort into building and maintaining a community rather than letting it sit there. Building a space like this isn't really luck as much as hard work. Take a look at [email protected] for example, they are promoting the community on the subreddit and being (pro)active on their instance, and it's working. If we make it a nice place to be people will come, but it rarely happens on its own (especially with reddit looming over as established competition).
