Because they don’t get listed by browse.feddit.de you’ll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines to browse “magazines”, which is what they call communities

e.g. !RedditMigration@kbin.social

or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @ernest@kbin.social over the past few days.

    Now I’m curious, can KBin users be mods on Lemmy instances, and can Lemmy users moderate Kbin magazines?

      Well I don’t know about that, but “appoint as mod” option still exists when I select your comment. Maybe we can make a test community to find out the answer haha

    I tried joining some kbin magazines from here (E.G: https://lemmy.world/c/Aquariums@kbin.social and https://lemmy.world/c/houseplants@kbin.social ). It did work but I’m unable to see any post from those communities. Instead the one you linked ( https://lemmy.world/c/RedditMigration@kbin.social ) works perfectly (even for newest posts/comments). Is there any fix ? EDIT: To add more troubleshooting info, It doesn’t say pending, it correctly says “joined” but still no posts.

      The federation/sync of content seem to be slow and work on the newest posts first.

      First time I checked https://lemmy.world/c/Cats@kbin.social I only saw one post but now there are four.
      And a whole lot more at the original: https://kbin.social/m/Cats

      Lemmy instances don’t pull content (and make the link work) until someone searches for the relevant community.

        Thank you! It’s working for me now too.

        I’m still not getting how to force an instance to federate tho. I think I followed the instructions properly. Here’s what I did.

        1. I went to the link posted: https://lemmy/world/c/autism@kbin.social. That clearly didn’t work at first.
        2. Clicking on “Communities”
        3. Searching for “autism@kbin.social” (found no results)
        4. Searching for “kbin” which found asklemmy@kbin.social
        5. Went to asklemmy@kbin.social and was able to navigate it without any problems
        6. Went back to Communities and searched for “autism” which didn’t find autism@kbin.social again.

        What step did I miss?

          The instructions you should have followed would have been:

          1. go to https://lemmy.world/search
          2. paste in the kbin magazine url https://kbin.social/m/austim
          3. hit search

        Oh, i actually didn’t know Kbin (despite these posts lol) was being seen from Lemmy. Iirc when i first saw Kbin a few days ago, Kbin could see Lemmy but Lemmy couldn’t see Kbin. Ie it’s like it was a partial federation.

        I’m curious on if that was accurate and if it was, what caused it in a technical sense. Given i’m a dev working on some ActivityPub stuff, i’m quite interested in it. Though i’ve not yet used the spec, clearly hah.

        How can I tell that a post is from another instance when browsing on Kbin? Just scanning the card for this thread, it isn’t apparent that it’s federated content.

      If a user hard-codes or pastes a kbin URL then it’s going to stay a kbin URL.

      If a user goes to the effort of linking a community by relative name (which are different formats for kbin and lemmy respectively) then it’ll be a relative link that will keep you on your instance.

      This is one of the rough edges that the whole community is going to need to sort out.

      It’s probably just because you were the first user to subscribe to it at sopuli.xyz

      Try pasting the browser url as it is in kbin, instead of using the Lemmy syntax. I know it’s goofy but it works.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you’re a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post’s text body, you must include the reason “Why” YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.
