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.

        Oh, i actually didn’t know Kbin (despite these posts lol) was being seen from Lemmy. Iirc when i first saw Kbin a few days ago, Kbin could see Lemmy but Lemmy couldn’t see Kbin. Ie it’s like it was a partial federation.

        I’m curious on if that was accurate and if it was, what caused it in a technical sense. Given i’m a dev working on some ActivityPub stuff, i’m quite interested in it. Though i’ve not yet used the spec, clearly hah.

          It was blocked by kbin having cloudflare DDoS protection enabled to reduce server load. I guess that blocks federation.

            Hmm, surely there must be a way to whitelist other instances you want to federate with so they don’t get blocked by cloudflare…

              I’m sure you can do that in cloudflare but it’d require whitelisting every Lemmy instance that you want to federate with on kbin’s end, which is a bit much.

        How can I tell that a post is from another instance when browsing on Kbin? Just scanning the card for this thread, it isn’t apparent that it’s federated content.

        wow interesting. Mastadon has a decent app in place too doesn’t it? That might be the best usage experience for me actually. Mastadon on the phone, Kbin on a desktop. Especially if it all links up.

          @waterbottleonashelf @CodingAndCoffee @livus this is what I’m sticking to as a replacement to reddit/app. I’ve been mainly visiting #kbin on desktop but now that it’s federated, a lot of magazines/threads I follow are showing up in my Mastodon app. This #fediverse stuff is great!

      Is looking at the username how you can tell where a post is coming from? I was so confused a while ago with posts saying “something something fellow Beehaw users!” and it was marked as (kbin.social) lol.

        Yeah, that part is a little confusing. Because this is a link aggregation site, it’s currently set up to show the domain of whatever link is in the thread. But if it’s just a text post, because it’s being brought over here it self-reports that we’re looking at kbin.social.

        If you have the top bar enabled from settings you can see where you’re currently looking at the top right.

        We don’t have it yet. Kbin is really new, and we kind of swamped the dev with our sudden influx. It’s on people’s wishlists though, so I’m sure we will have it in future!

    Just started adding subscriptions to kbin magazines and I think it’s starting to sink in that there is actually a decent-sized community growing here with a LOT more potential. The FediVerse being decentralized makes things feel a bit empty at first as it is now, but once you start hooking up to other platforms’ content it immediately feels twice as big. The trick over time will be cross-platform development efforts that make things look and feel more seamless.

      Certainly in this case, because of how how much traffic kbin.social was getting and how long it was running unfederated.

    Great news, thanks for the heads-up! Hopefully, though, we get some way to search both Lemmy communities and Kbin magazines through one browser.

    Having to use browse.feddit.de and kbin.social/magazines separately doesn’t seem optimal.

          I like this idea and the Mastedon app seems much faster to post… that’s really my only wish list item from lemmy right now. I’m figuring that’s a temporary imbalance of increase activity and server bandwidth/speed? I understand we are decentralized but so is Mastodon and at least my instance is very smooth and fast.

            I can’t speak to Lemmy’s implementation (I refuse to go near lemmy on account of the maintainers “politics”), but there’s nothing fundamental about threading that should make posting slower.

            Loading threads here is… different… work than loading your feed in mastodon, it’s possibly slower, but posting is from a theoretical standpoint the same. Probably you’re just seeing the effect of your lemmy instance not running on sufficient hardware (very understandable given the explosion in user space size).

              Can you elaborate on the ‘politics’?

              I sense something weird , especially with the hardcoded ‘hate speech’ filter, which seems to run contrary to federation.

              Anything else I should know about ?

                The two main devs seem to be Tankies or have at least close views. From what I heard, the hardcoded filter isn’t a thing anymore and was removed after heavy protest from other contributors. The good thing is that they don’t have any control outside their own instance and in worst case people would simply copy the project (since it’s open source) and move on without them. I hope that the different instances + community take a part of the donations to pay independent full time code contributors.

                The broad strokes are here: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379

                In addition to the more important issues that fedi-tips discusses I find their stance on anti-vax and US-election conspiracy theories… unappealing, which you can see being discussed here: https://lemmy.ml/post/143057

                And that they haven’t been shy about exerting their power for political purposes. The hardcoded slur-filter was explicitly about discouraging “right wingers” (I put that in quotes because I suspect their definition of right wing and mine differ), and they at least use to be open about their intentions to moderate the instances that they run as explicitly “left wing” (though I don’t see a reference to that on the current site).

                  @AshDene @CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world @CodingAndCoffee@mastodon.social @Zerlyna @mr_jp I haven’t read what’s in the link yet, but if what you’re saying is accurate then it is worrying. Fortunately kbin exists, where I think you are right now

                  Oh man , that is disappointing.

                  I’m certainly not a ‘right-winger’ , but i hate the idea of arbitrary, centralized control of what ‘hate speech’ means .

                  That doesn’t sound ‘federated’ to me!

    That explains why I’ve been seeing some people saying “magazine”

    I wish Kbin and Lemmy could agree on a format for linking communities

    I tried joining some kbin magazines from here (E.G: https://lemmy.world/c/Aquariums@kbin.social and https://lemmy.world/c/houseplants@kbin.social ). It did work but I’m unable to see any post from those communities. Instead the one you linked ( https://lemmy.world/c/RedditMigration@kbin.social ) works perfectly (even for newest posts/comments). Is there any fix ? EDIT: To add more troubleshooting info, It doesn’t say pending, it correctly says “joined” but still no posts.

      The federation/sync of content seem to be slow and work on the newest posts first.

      First time I checked https://lemmy.world/c/Cats@kbin.social I only saw one post but now there are four.
      And a whole lot more at the original: https://kbin.social/m/Cats
