i've read kbin might get merged with lemmy (or vice versa, whatever) , but cannot find the post talking about it anymore

anyone to confirm whether it's true (perhaps was I just dreaming , after all)

What do you mean? They can access the contents of each other

oh? I understood they couldn't , thanks for correcting me !

I was wrong and spewed missinformation. Sorry

Which kbin instance?

I know BeeHaw defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

I’m unaware of it defederating kbin instance. I do know for a fact it wasn’t kbin.social.

This is not true but I've seen this posted many times. I don't even think there was talk of defederating from kbin among the admins. But I think this is a great litmus test for how people generally feel about that defederation. People simply see beehaw cutting itself off from the other large instances and assume that's the policy.

As far as I know, lemmy instances can't sub to kbin magazines yet. I can't on my instance at least

im subbed to several kbin magazines form my instance

Interesting - then it's a problem with my thing's config. Thanks for the info - I'll check into it

I had that problem earlier as well earlier in the week but I’m able to sub to kbin.social magazines now. Still figuring out how all this works though 😄

Is there any benefit to merging if it all just federated between them?

my aplogies, I thought they couldn't access each other's content, which , as zekiz said, isnt the case
