#Kbin update:

- The https://kbin.social server is now federating with the Fediverse. You can follow/interact with kbin.social magazines & users from other Kbin servers, Mastodon & rest of the Fediverse. For example the TIL magazine is at @TodayILearned, the lead dev of Kbin is at @ernest

- There's a new Kbin server at https://readit.buzz which is run by the same people as the Universodon.com Mastodon server. It's open for signups, just click "log in" and then "register".

kbin.social - Explore the Fediverse

Explore the Fediverse

p.s. If you are browsing a magazine, thread or account from Kbin (or anywhere else on the Fediverse!) and you want to interact with it somewhere else on the Fediverse but you can't find it by searching, here's how to make your server notice it:

1. Go to Kbin in your web browser
2. Copy the web address of what you want to interact with
3. Paste that address into the search box on Mastodon (or any other Fediverse server type)

It will then appear on your own server where you can interact with it.

p.p.s. Several people asking in the thread about how to appear on the microblogging sections of Kbin magazines.

As far as I can tell, just include one of the magazine's listed tags in your posts on Mastodon etc. For example to appear on the Apple magazine's microblogging section include #apple or #iphone or one of the other tags as shown at on the right side of the screen at https://kbin.social/m/apple

Microblogging is a separate tab from Threads, you need a Kbin account to start a new thread.

Apple - kbin.social

A magazine for news and discussion about a small Silicon Valley fruit company....

I gave #Kbin another try, took a less popular instance without Cloudflare, create a magazine with appropriate tags in settings.

When I go and make a post on Mastodon with one of those tags AND even mention the group where magazine resides (just in case), but nothing makes the post appear on Kbin.

You can imagine my disappointment, as I promoted the shit out of Kbin prematurely and how it's suppoed to fetch remote posts - NOPE, doesn't work. 🤔 😔

@vintprox @feditips I think @ernest may have mentioned it but it still follows normal federation rules. At least one account on the kbin instance must be following your mastodon account, otherwise mastodon won't send the posts to the kbin instance for it to put in the right place.

@pieceofthepie @feditips @ernest

Interesting, so it's another way around: I need to follow Mastodon account from Kbin? I just followed and republished post from Mastodon with appropriate tag, but it doesn't work. It's probably requiring some more time to heat...
