YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content - Lemmy.world

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.

@CodingAndCoffee So you're saying I can reply to this from Mastodon also?

EDIT: please reply if you see this from kbin/lemmy 😅

Yes you can! :)

lilkev Jun 14, 2023

Awesome! Thank you.

ninjakitty7 Jun 15, 2023

You’re on mastodon? I’m on kbin! Wow!

The Mad Codger Jun 15, 2023

@[email protected] And I'm replying to you from Calckey! #fediverse

lilkev Jun 15, 2023

@ninjakitty7 I also commented on the post from kbin to see if I would see everything. Seems to be working swimmingly. It IS a bit awkward to find threads on Mastodon, but I only made this account to use it more like Twitter than Reddit.

darius Jun 15, 2023

And I see both of your replies on lemmy, in the Jerboa app. What a time to be alive!

Sergeant_Voronin Jun 15, 2023

Seeing this from kbin. The future is now.

Ben Jun 16, 2023

Haha tried making an account on kbin.social - can't log in.

The future is tomorrow.

livus Jun 15, 2023

Yes!

SQL_InjectMe Jun 15, 2023

yes

iMach Jun 15, 2023

I see you from the Beehaw lemmy instance!

Otome-chan Jun 15, 2023

Hello mastodon user. I'm seeing this on kbin.social as part of a "lemmy.world" thread. On kbin we have magazines (like reddit's subreddits). This magazine is "[email protected]". Your post is showing up as a comment in this thread. I'm doing a comment reply/response to yours.

lilkev Jun 15, 2023

@Otome-chan thank you for confirming! I actually commented on this same post from my kbin account as well. Just texting the fediverse!

Kalkaline Jun 15, 2023

I see you from Lemmy.one

I thought mastodon was a “twitter” like site… how would you be viewing Lemmy stuff?

lilkev Jun 15, 2023

It IS a Twitter-like site. It displays posts in more of a Twitter style. That being said - it is also part of the Fediverse, so theoretically you should be able to see all federated communities on any fediverse instance of your choosing.

Personally, I have a kbin.social account and a mastodon.social account. I'm doing this because Mastodon doesn't really present threads from kbin or lemmy in an easily digestable way, so I will use kbin as my reddit replacement, and Mastodon to replace Twitter.

31dirty1 Jun 15, 2023

So if I had the mastodon app, is there anything I can do with that? Or what would you be signed into to reply back? (Ie) I’m signed into my lemmy.fmhy.ml account, where would I sign into mastodon… tho, I’d like to create another instance to use more like my previous Reddit account

lilkev Jun 15, 2023

So you would have to sign up for a Mastodon instance to log on to the Mastodon app (I.e. Mastodon.social, mstdn.social, mstdn.es, etc). Similar to the fact that you're signed in to a Lemmy instance right now on lemmy.fmhy.com there are other Lemmy instances such as lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, Beehaw.org, etc.

Your Mastodon account would be completely separate from your Lemmy account.

Does that make sense? Not sure if I explained that we'll.

31dirty1 Jun 15, 2023

It makes sense they are separate, but I’m just not following the part where you’d sign in the mastodon app… (when to me it acts like twitter)

I do have a mastodon account btw

lilkev Jun 15, 2023

You can't sign in to a Lemmy instance from Mastodon, if that's what you mean.

But when you go to sign in to a Mastodon account on the Mastodon app, it should prompt you for the instance you're signed up for (or recommend you instances if you aren't signed up already).

If you mean being able to find Lemmy communities, you would simply search for something like [email protected] in the search bar. Different Lemmy communities show as "Users" for me, at least on the Ivory for Mastodon app.

lilkev Jun 15, 2023

Similarly, I can find your Lemmy.fmhy.ml account on Mastodon by searching for "[email protected]"

31dirty1 Jun 15, 2023

That makes more sense thank you!

lilkev Jun 15, 2023

By the way, I'm replying to you from Mastodon!
