Ooo, nice! How do you actually do that?

[–] DerpyPoint 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You have to search the community on kbin.social like this: [community name]@[lemmy instance]. And subscribe to it with a kbin account

@Annoyed_Crabby no need! As long as the two instances are in federation, us in kbin.social can post and comment and vice versa from our respective accounts :)

@Annoyed_Crabby the fetching is only for new messages/posts onwards, if you're viewing remotely/as federated content. The usual option for any of the fedi accounts is basically open in browser to see full public content

@Annoyed_Crabby ayeee no worries! The basic functionalities for the link aggregation protocols (Lemmy and kbin) are roughly the same with slight differences only (kbin has an additional microblog function that's allowing it to also federate well with protocols like Mastodon, but that's just technical stuff lol). Anyway, this means for any subs, anyone with a federated-by-ActivityPub account can access and participate.
