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 is so exciting, all of us playing together in here is such a cool concept.
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.
Does this mean you are posting this on lemmy.world and I am reading it on kbin?
For those of us new to the fediverse, this is so exciting!
Haha yep, this community is hosted on lemmy.world! And you’re commenting from kbin. That’s so cool!
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 disabled until mere hours ago!
Wow this is neat!
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.
If you have the top bar enabled, you can see it at the top on the right hand side.
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.
Yup, exactly. Welcome to the fediverse!
Can we please call it literally anything else? I’m tired of “verses”.
Sure. Welcome to the federanus.
…which is now open for business!
@CodingAndCoffee So nice to be able to comment on this straight from Mastodon, too. Though it’s weird that the existing comments don’t show up on Mastodon when I paste the URL to this post in my search box (t)here.
OH THATS how you search for specific magazines on here (I am on kbin)!
I didn’t expect this so soon. Great job, Earnest and team!
Now I’m curious, can KBin users be mods on Lemmy instances, and can Lemmy users moderate Kbin magazines?
Well I don’t know about that, but “appoint as mod” option still exists when I select your comment. Maybe we can make a test community to find out the answer haha
Any help? I’ve joined a magazine from lemmy and nothing shows up, but I have a kbin account too and know there’s posts I’m not seeing.
It’s probably just because you were the first user to subscribe to it at sopuli.xyz
According to your server’s nodeinfo there’s only 462 users active this month.
I don’t know if that’s bad or good. Is there a way to fix it?
Now that you’re subscribed, all new content will flow to your server. You just need to be patient 😊
Thank you!
@serfraser @youshouldknow What’s happening? Are you on an instance and want to see everyone’s comments/post on other instances? What client are you using? Are you on the website? Are you on desktop ?
Mobile, using Lemmy site to view a kbin Magazine that appears empty and says “no posts” but when I check on kbin I can see that’s not true
Jerboa seems to crash when clicking links with the ! point but I can do it from the desktop browser. This is great!
Smoothest crash ever tho!
So anyway to make the app Jerboa work with kbin?
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
This is great but I am still unable to search for communities in kbin. At least I tried !politics@kbin.social and !opensource@kbin.social a few time the last few minutes but still no result.
I haven’t been able to join Kbin magazines by searching in the !magazine@instance format, but when I just paste the URL from Kbin into the search I’ve been able to add them that way.
@CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world replying to myself from mastodon!
How…? I think my head just exploded. 🤯
So I’m looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I’ve tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/Utah@kbin.social), I’ve tried searching in the “communities” search, and I’m just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?
- paste the full target url in search from lemmy, e.g.
https://kbin.social/m/Utah - now it’s available at !Utah@kbin.social
Do you know how/if I can subscribe to their main page?
- paste the full target url in search from lemmy, e.g.
hello. can confirm. I’m on kbin.social right now and seeing this thread. I’m not sure federating is entirely up just yet but it’s working a lot better/faster than it was these past few days. Definitely seeing an influx of beehaw and lemmy world users and posts :)
Unfortunately, beehaw has decided that they don’t like this whole “federation” thing. Hopefully we’ll see replacements for their communities in the coming days.
Kbin users weren’t defederated from them so we can still see and post in their communities.
@CodingAndCoffee So you’re saying I can reply to this from Mastodon also?
EDIT: please reply if you see this from kbin/lemmy 😅
Seeing this from kbin. The future is now.
Haha tried making an account on kbin.social - can’t log in.
The future is tomorrow.
