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.
That is so exciting, all of us playing together in here is such a cool concept.
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/CatsYeah but I got to c/Vancouver for example but idk how to subscribe from kbin as I don’t see a button from that :/
Lemmy instances don’t pull content (and make the link work) until someone searches for the relevant community.
The link works for me currently. Someone else must have triggered federation for you.
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.
- I went to the link posted: https://lemmy/world/c/autism@kbin.social. That clearly didn’t work at first.
- Clicking on “Communities”
- Searching for “autism@kbin.social” (found no results)
- Searching for “kbin” which found asklemmy@kbin.social
- Went to asklemmy@kbin.social and was able to navigate it without any problems
- 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:
- go to https://lemmy.world/search
- paste in the kbin magazine url
https://kbin.social/m/austim - hit search
OH THATS how you search for specific magazines on here (I am on kbin)!
I didn’t expect this so soon. Great job, Earnest and team!
Is there a way to collapse comments in kbin?
Jerboa seems to crash when clicking links with the ! point but I can do it from the desktop browser. This is great!
Smoothest crash ever tho!
That’s looking at the bright side lol
Had to try and it yep it is.
This is being worked on on the Jerboa github. Sounds like it’ll be addressed or at least mostly addressed in the next release.
Glad to hear!
@CodingAndCoffee So nice to be able to comment on this straight from Mastodon, too. Though it’s weird that the existing comments don’t show up on Mastodon when I paste the URL to this post in my search box (t)here.
Does this mean you are posting this on lemmy.world and I am reading it on kbin?
For those of us new to the fediverse, this is so exciting!
Haha yep, this community is hosted on lemmy.world! And you’re commenting from kbin. That’s so cool!
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.
It was disabled until mere hours ago!
Wow this is neat!
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 you have the top bar enabled, you can see it at the top on the right hand side.
Is looking at the username how you can tell where a post is coming from? I was so confused a while ago with posts saying “something something fellow Beehaw users!” and it was marked as (kbin.social) lol.
Yup, exactly. Welcome to the fediverse!
Can we please call it literally anything else? I’m tired of “verses”.
Sure. Welcome to the federanus.
…which is now open for business!
When I click on the kbin links, it opens kbin. How do I see it while still on the lemmy site?
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.
@CodingAndCoffee So you’re saying I can reply to this from Mastodon also?
EDIT: please reply if you see this from kbin/lemmy 😅
Seeing this from kbin. The future is now.
Haha tried making an account on kbin.social - can’t log in.
The future is tomorrow.
This is great but I am still unable to search for communities in kbin. At least I tried !politics@kbin.social and !opensource@kbin.social a few time the last few minutes but still no result.
I haven’t been able to join Kbin magazines by searching in the !magazine@instance format, but when I just paste the URL from Kbin into the search I’ve been able to add them that way.
Any help? I’ve joined a magazine from lemmy and nothing shows up, but I have a kbin account too and know there’s posts I’m not seeing.
@serfraser @youshouldknow What’s happening? Are you on an instance and want to see everyone’s comments/post on other instances? What client are you using? Are you on the website? Are you on desktop ?
Mobile, using Lemmy site to view a kbin Magazine that appears empty and says “no posts” but when I check on kbin I can see that’s not true
It’s probably just because you were the first user to subscribe to it at sopuli.xyz
According to your server’s nodeinfo there’s only 462 users active this month.
I don’t know if that’s bad or good. Is there a way to fix it?
Now that you’re subscribed, all new content will flow to your server. You just need to be patient 😊
Thank you!
My home Lemmy doesn’t seem to be able to find communities on kbin, when I search for something like !tech@kbin.social it just never resolves. :-/
Try pasting the browser url as it is in kbin, instead of using the Lemmy syntax. I know it’s goofy but it works.
Neither seems to work for me, maybe federation is overloaded with the sudden influx? I’ll report back if it ends up working.
