YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content

You Should Know@lemmy.world – 971 points – 1 years ago

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.

paste the full target url in search from lemmy, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/Utah
now it's available at !Utah@kbin.social

Ah ha, I was trying to do the short url (!utah@kbin.social), and that wasn't working. Thanks!

I was doing the same thing! This is awesome. Thank you CodingAndCoffee!

kbin currently has a bug with the !Utah@kbin.social syntax. Your link becomes https://kbin.social/c/Utah@kbin.social, which isn't valid (should be https://kbin.social/m/Utah). It's a little weird because while the c/ part is what we'd expect if it was a Lemmy sub, it still shouldn't be repeating the domain. I'm sure that'll be fixed shortly, though. Maybe I'll go dig into the code myself.

At any rate, the @Utah@kbin.social syntax should work in kbin. I'm unclear if it works for Lemmy. Here's a link so you can try it: @Utah

EDIT: filed https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/199

Other Fediverse systems use the syntax @Utah@kbin.social.

Do you know how/if I can subscribe to their main page?

So, I am on lemmy.one and I go to search communities, and paste https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration and nothing comes up. Am I doing something wrong?

No, that's the correct way to do it.

Hm, still nothing comes up if I search for the whole link.

But, if I search for just "RedditMigration", it shows up.
