Because they don’t get listed by browse.feddit.de [http://browse.feddit.de] you’ll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines [https://kbin.social/magazines] to browse “magazines”, which is what they call communities e.g. [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration [https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration] Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @[email protected] [/u/[email protected]] over the past few days.

This “You Should Know” post is top of ~June, for good reason. This post announced the kbin.social Federation/compatibility with Lemmy.

A huge amount of test-posts from a wide-variety of instances came in to test the new federation abilities (including from kbin.social, one of the biggest kbin communities).

I think this post shows the hope that over the long-term, we can get federation across the larger fediverse. I don’t know if Mastodon is in the works, but these kinds of posts give hope.

    Oddly, kbin can’t see all of lemmy.world. I made a kbin account to check it out and couldn’t find all the communities.

      Yeah, I’m seeing buggy behavior like that too on my end. Lemmy.world can’t see all of kbin.social. But I’m seeing “enough” that we can somewhat communicate with each other.

      Commenting from kbin; what makes it over to here seems pretty variable - sometimes I feel like the feed is all lemmy posts, other times lemmy might as well not exist.
