YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content
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. [email protected]
or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration
Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @[email protected] over the past few days.
You're viewing a single thread.
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!
@livus @CodingAndCoffee And now I'm replying to it from Mastodon!
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Oh good, it's working again! I'm commenting from Calckey.
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!
Yup, exactly. Welcome to the fediverse!
Oh, wow, thanks! I love it that my first inter-fediverse communication was you welcoming me, too.
I come in peace :)
Can we please call it literally anything else? I'm tired of "verses".
Sure. Welcome to the federanus.
The backdoor of the internet.
A very deep hole to go into
...which is now open for business!
Thank you, much better
It's late where I am. I'm still laughing though, thank you very much :-D
Welcome to the Federales
@iAmTheTot @CodingAndCoffee @livus @BreadDog It has been the Fediverse long before the other Verses came long.
Universe definitely came along first
@themz true.
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.
I'm still trying to work that out too.
@livus @CodingAndCoffee and I'm reading this on mastodon!
Amazing!
I was trying to do this on Monday and couldn't, so I thought it wasn't possible. But now, here we are, and here it is!
Total newb here, how does one collapse comment threads on the web browser version of kbin here? I've tried clicking around and don't see some UI element or anything to indicate how to do such an action.
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!
