KameloIs Lemmy cross compatible with Kbin?
ArkoSammy12It is kinda hard to find communities from other Fediverse clients for now. Bit yes, they are compatible with each other. In fact, both are compatible with every other Federated client under the ActvityPub network, such as Mastodon.
BenDoubleUYep!
I've had issue direct searching for kbin communities here and communities from here on kbin though. I think that kbin federates very slowly.
Examples:
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]
It seems to be kind of hit and miss. I tried getting [email protected] into lemmy yesterday. It kind of worked on lemmy.ml but only showed older posts. On lemmy.world it didn't work at all, and still doesn't.
Yeah, that's the biggest thing that turned me away from using kbin. It almost seems like it wants the community/posts from its instance to be the de facto ones. /tin foil hat
I mean. Even when I take off my tinfoil hat, kbin is very immature software made by a single guy, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if he spent a lot of time polishing pulling content in, and very little time on pushing out.
jonahThis is why I encourage individual people to try out Kbin if they like the design or project better or whatever, but Lemmy was the only choice for me to host a community like [email protected] on, and I encourage other community mods to use Lemmy as well. Community federation and community moderation in general is simply far more mature on Lemmy at the moment. I’m very glad that I can host a community on Lemmy and Kbin users can still access it though :)

Hm, so you're saying that for an individual who wants to self-host a single-user instance and interact with everyone else over activity-pub (e.g. post on lemmy communities and reply to mastodon toots), kbin may be a good choice?
It does seem to me that the multiple types of published events (threads / microblogging ) might allow someone to interact easily with both mastodon and lemmy in a near-native format, but I haven't tried using it like that.
I’d personally still prefer to self-host Lemmy over Kbin for various reasons (primarily because Kbin is PHP, ew), but feature-wise I would say Kbin is roughly the same as Lemmy for just browsing/interacting as a user, yes. Perhaps better for interacting with Mastodon even, but I haven’t checked out Kbin’s microblogging area enough to give an opinion on it one way or the other.
em2You're supposed to be able to type !community@instance but that didn't work for me. Instead, I had to go to my browser and paste the whole url (ex. Https://kbin.social/m/apple) into the search bar and then Lemmy was able to find it. It does take a while to sync though.
Awesome! Hopefully the increased attention will help smooth these things out.
ArtemisDownSo it’s a yes and a no. Kbin can see and view/communicate with Lemmy and vica versa but kbin seems much slower in recognizing new content and Lemmy doesn’t pull content from kbin by default from what I can see.
cablepickKbin enabled Cloudflare bot detection to fend off an ongoing attack and that is preventing Lenny instances from pulling their content.
What are you talking about?
Kbin enabled cloud flare protection that will hinder federation. It’s likely preventing lemmy instances from pulling feeds from Kbin. Each lemmy instance pulls its own data, instead of haveing data pushed to it.

Thank you for this very informative reply! Holy shit I love Lemmy; everyone is so resourceful and willing to share information so rapidly, such as yourself.
