kbin now accessible from lemmy instances?

I am going to try and post this from lemmy.ca

If it works, I guess I've answered my own question.

One of the things I'm really enjoying about this jump to the fediverse is watching everyone try things to get a better understanding. Gives me first telephone call vibes. Lots of "does this work?" "HEY it does work!"
- I got both, and jumping in between to try to grasp, and it's working, and it's confusing, and I don't care, yay!
Hello from the other side - kbin.social
hello from the admin of fedi196.gay!
we're a smaller kbin instance so you can use us to guage federation, everything seems to be working perfectly 😄
- What a fabulous server name! 🌈
That is how the federation works! Also can see posts on other platforms like Mastodon, calckey, plerma. Enjoy!
- It entirely took me way too long to figure out how to sub to other fediverse communities from within kbin.
  
  Can you share this secret information?
Oh wow I'm OP using my kbin account and there it is!
- Now can you subscribe and scroll lemmy subs from kbin?
  
  I think that's always been possible? At least in the short time I've been around here.
  
  For example, you can go into magazines and search for canada and it will give you not just the one hosted here at kbin.social but also [email protected], [email protected], etc.
  
  I think when the great reddit migration happened, kbin got so swamped that they erected some sort of firewall that blocked out lemmy just to protect their own servers. But this didn't prevent you from reaching out to lemmy from your kbin account?
  
  But if this sticks and 2-way connections remain open, that's is a good sign. It means kbin is getting on top of it? At least I hope that's the case!
- This is wholesome
Welcome, to the world of tomorrow!
When will we be able to use Lemmy apps for Kbin?
- As far as I understand it, never, unless someone makes an API proxy. They both use activitypub for federation but the client side API is totally different.
@tunetardis Hello! from the Irish Mastodon ( mastodon.ie ).
We also can read/reply you from here.
- Irish Mastadon. That would be a good name for a celtic band…
hello, yes. federation is working much better now on kbin so we can see lemmy stuff :)
Reading from kbin.social, the flagship kbin instance. All clear.
I’m on Kbin and see it just fine!

I'm seeing this on beehaw via kbin.social
