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.
When I click on the kbin links, it opens kbin. How do I see it while still on the lemmy site?
Is there a way to collapse comments in kbin?
Not yet. Ernest is still working on improving the UI, but honestly he probably has such a giant pile on his desk that we can’t really tell when what will happen, or if something will be added at all unless he’s currently working on it.
That is so exciting, all of us playing together in here is such a cool concept.
Lemmy instances don’t pull content (and make the link work) until someone searches for the relevant community.
OH THATS how you search for specific magazines on here (I am on kbin)!
@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.
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!
Vulcan is reading this from kbin.social
The federation is now active and hello!
That explains why I’ve been seeing some people saying “magazine”
I wish Kbin and Lemmy could agree on a format for linking communities
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!
Had to try and it yep it is.
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!
I didn’t expect this so soon. Great job, Earnest and team!
Now I’m curious, can KBin users be mods on Lemmy instances, and can Lemmy users moderate Kbin magazines?

I tried joining some kbin magazines from here (E.G: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] and https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] ). It did work but I’m unable to see any post from those communities. Instead the one you linked ( https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] ) 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/[email protected] 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 :/
So I’m looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I’ve tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/[email protected]), I’ve tried searching in the “communities” search, and I’m just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?
- paste the full target url in search from lemmy, e.g.
https://kbin.social/m/Utah - now it’s available at [email protected]
Do you know how/if I can subscribe to their main page?
- paste the full target url in search from lemmy, e.g.
My home Lemmy doesn’t seem to be able to find communities on kbin, when I search for something like [email protected] it just never resolves. :-/
I’ve tried all different ways to find https://kbin.social/m/mma but none of them are federating
I was able to find the RedditMigration ‘magazine’ though, so it is hit or miss for me
Try pasting the browser url as it is in kbin, instead of using the Lemmy syntax. I know it’s goofy but it works.
Neither seems to work for me, maybe federation is overloaded with the sudden influx? I’ll report back if it ends up working.
