YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content
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's what the fediverse is. That's how this whole thing works. And why some of us are on kbin, some mastodon, some lemmy, some beehive. The posts you're seeing now aren't all from people on Kbin anymore. Fucking interesting, right?
edit I should add, I thought this post WAS ON Kbinsocial. Cause that's what I'm on. I didn't even realize this was posted to a lemmy instance.
How's that for interesting?
It is really interesting. I posted a comment and didn't even realize it wasn't on kbin until I scrolled up to go back to the home page. It was seamless. Super fucking cool.
Which is exactly why this is better than Reddit. It'll definitely have growing pains and long term UX warts, but not being siloed and leashed to someone like Spez's decisions is a really great feature of the Fediverse.
Yeah, it takes a little bit to wrap your ahead at first (which does seem like a large barrier to tech/change resistant people), but after you get past that it’s amazing!
