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.
OH THATS how you search for specific magazines on here (I am on kbin)!
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!
This is being worked on on the Jerboa github. Sounds like it’ll be addressed or at least mostly addressed in the next release.
Glad to hear!
That’s looking at the bright side lol
Had to try and it yep it is.
Is there a way to collapse comments in kbin?
That explains why I’ve been seeing some people saying “magazine”
I wish Kbin and Lemmy could agree on a format for linking communities
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!

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!
When I click on the kbin links, it opens kbin. How do I see it while still on the lemmy site?
Lemmy instances don’t pull content (and make the link work) until someone searches for the relevant community.
Now I’m curious, can KBin users be mods on Lemmy instances, and can Lemmy users moderate Kbin magazines?

@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.
I didn’t expect this so soon. Great job, Earnest and team!
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/CatsYeah but I got to c/Vancouver for example but idk how to subscribe from kbin as I don’t see a button from that :/
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.
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
@CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world replying to myself from mastodon!
How…? I think my head just exploded. 🤯
What is a reddit thread if not a root tweet with a bunch of replies (and replies to the replies) formatted in a way that you see the organization of the replies?
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 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).
