I am going to try and post this from lemmy.ca

If it works, I guess I've answered my own question.

One of the things I'm really enjoying about this jump to the fediverse is watching everyone try things to get a better understanding. Gives me first telephone call vibes. Lots of "does this work?" "HEY it does work!"

I got both, and jumping in between to try to grasp, and it's working, and it's confusing, and I don't care, yay!

Hello from the other side - kbin.social

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hello from the admin of fedi196.gay!
we're a smaller kbin instance so you can use us to guage federation, everything seems to be working perfectly 😄

What a fabulous server name! 🌈

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is how the federation works! Also can see posts on other platforms like Mastodon, calckey, plerma. Enjoy!

It entirely took me way too long to figure out how to sub to other fediverse communities from within kbin.

Can you share this secret information?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

From the top bar, click on Magazines. There should be search bar where you can search for lemmy communities/kbin magazines.

I searched for "canada" and there are many results of different Canada communities from different fediverse instances. Click subscribe on the right and you'll see posts in those communities appear in your sub feed.

Searching for lemmy communities from kbin

Can you tell me why [email protected] doesn't show up when I do a magazine search on kbin.social?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

@AndILearnedSomething Are you sure mls is on lemmy.world? I only see a mls@lemmy.ml community.

I went to lemmy.world and searched for the mls local community and I don't see it there.
https://lemmy.world/c/mls <-- doesn't work

Either way, you have the right idea, you put the community name after https://kbin.social/m/ , except without the !.

However when I tried https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] it still didn't work while other communities like https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] work. So I don't have a solid answer for you for why its not showing up in kbin. Perhaps someone else who's an expert can chime in. My hunch is that there's some slowness where kbin has not noticed there is a new mls community on lemmy.ml because of all the new people joining and its causing hiccups

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

I think whoever created that community screwed up the naming:
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

It SHOULD be lemmy.world/c/mls, but the real address is /c/[email protected]

I'm betting kbin can't parse /m/[email protected]@lemmy.world

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

kbin uses the @username style. So replace the ! with @ and search again. Same for usernames and communities/magazines

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I should have looked first, because that was really easy! Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Just type the community name into the search bar on kbin. As an example:

[email protected]

Or

[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh wow I'm OP using my kbin account and there it is!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now can you subscribe and scroll lemmy subs from kbin?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that's always been possible? At least in the short time I've been around here.

For example, you can go into magazines and search for canada and it will give you not just the one hosted here at kbin.social but also [email protected], [email protected], etc.

I think when the great reddit migration happened, kbin got so swamped that they erected some sort of firewall that blocked out lemmy just to protect their own servers. But this didn't prevent you from reaching out to lemmy from your kbin account?

But if this sticks and 2-way connections remain open, that's is a good sign. It means kbin is getting on top of it? At least I hope that's the case!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

during the flood of users, kbin put up Cloudflare just to slow everything down for a bit until it calmed down, and that created some issues with Federation outside of kbin. Now that it's gone though, it should all be back to normal, so you should see subs from Lemmy and other Fediverse software update normally now.

@tunetardis Hello! from the Irish Mastodon ( mastodon.ie ).
We also can read/reply you from here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Irish Mastadon. That would be a good name for a celtic band…

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When will we be able to use Lemmy apps for Kbin?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

As far as I understand it, never, unless someone makes an API proxy. They both use activitypub for federation but the client side API is totally different.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

hello, yes. federation is working much better now on kbin so we can see lemmy stuff :)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Reading from kbin.social, the flagship kbin instance. All clear.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I’m on Kbin and see it just fine!
