Trying out Lemmy and kbin… And the #fediverse interoperability has lost me 😥 please #help !
Fediverse@kbin.social – 25 points – Hey All,
I’m an (old 😉) IT guy, very excited by the #fediverse and trying to find my way amongst various services.
As an example, I started gathering topics I like on a Lemmy account. Then, I got tempted to create different accounts on smaller instances and try out kbin.
I’d love that my « subscriptions » follow me, so that I don’t have to scan all my « magazines » and re-register from everywhere.
Can someone kindly help me on how I can achieve that? Apologies if the question is naive, but given the decentralised nature of those services, shouldn’t each user have a « local » trace of what they follow (for example on a local app), no matter the service, so that they get « their view », their « window » on the #fediverse?
Many thanks for the #fedihelp and again my apologies for the probably basic questions!
I wonder if fediverse platforms can introduce support for exporting/importing a json list of subscriptions and follows so you can at least transfer/share those on your own.
Mastodon already supports account migration, so it is possible.
Many thanks! Even if I must confess that since I’m confused on the question of Lemmy and kbin accounts, I don’t dare putting mastodon in the equation 😅
kbin isn't even classed as beta yet, it's early alpha. There is LOTS of work still to come - which is part of the excitement. The fact that it even works as well as it does right now - is a good indicator of things to come.
