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

CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 972 points –

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.

I'm replying to this on Jerboa right now, so I would assume there's a way, yeah.

But you're using a Lemmy account to post, I'm confused...?

Wait

Ah, I've misinterpreted, I first saw this post on kbin, but it's a Lemmy post, so of course I can see it on Lemmy.

In that case I dunno. Will kbin posts be viewable on Lemmy, since the reverse is now possible?

Update: I seem to have found a way to view AskKbin on Lemmy/Jerboa, though only a few posts are actually showing up. Is this even intended behavior?

AFAIK posts only sync from the moment the first person on your instance subscribes

I'm not sure I understand, does that go both ways or just for Lemmy looking at Kbin? And is that intended behavior or a bug? Doesn't sound like that'll work very well.

Not entirely sure. It is true for Lemmy. I guess it is true for kbin too, but someone from there should confirm.

I think it's a limitation (for now?).

Thanks for the info. Trying to upvote you and it's not working lol. Assuming that's not intended.

LMAO I do see an upvote, don't know whose though.

There is a bug now that the upvotes/downvotes display incorrectly, even if they work the first time already. Try to refresh the page to check if it shows up.
