I’ve seen people say that you can access kbin from Lemmy and vice versa. I can’t seem to do it in browser or with Jerboa. I can’t find an actual answer either.

Edit: I even noticed kbin.social is a linked instance.

      This 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 !privacyguides@lemmy.one 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.

      It seems to be kind of hit and miss. I tried getting norge@kbin.social 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.

      You’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.

    So 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.

      Is that generally true, or only due to the DDOS protections? kbin.social has had to put in place. Those protections prevent it from federating correctly, but presumably once things calm down, it’ll federate correctly again.

      Kbin enabled Cloudflare bot detection to fend off an ongoing attack and that is preventing Lemmy instances from pulling their content.
