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.
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 blocked by kbin having cloudflare DDoS protection enabled to reduce server load. I guess that blocks federation.
It was disabled until mere hours ago!
So does that mean I can see kbin posts in lemmy.world? I’m using the mlem app on IOS btw
It’s super cool! My mind is now blown!
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.
@livus @CodingAndCoffee And now I’m replying to it from Mastodon!
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.
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!
The backdoor of the internet.
Welcome to the Federales
It’s late where I am. I’m still laughing though, thank you very much :-D
Thank you, much better
@iAmTheTot @CodingAndCoffee @livus @BreadDog It has been the Fediverse long before the other Verses came long.
Universe definitely came along first
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!
