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. !RedditMigration@kbin.social [/c/RedditMigration@kbin.social] 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 @ernest@kbin.social [/u/ernest@kbin.social] over the past few days.

This “You Should Know” post is top of ~June, for good reason. This post announced the kbin.social Federation/compatibility with Lemmy.

A huge amount of test-posts from a wide-variety of instances came in to test the new federation abilities (including from kbin.social, one of the biggest kbin communities).

I think this post shows the hope that over the long-term, we can get federation across the larger fediverse. I don’t know if Mastodon is in the works, but these kinds of posts give hope.

    The UI I’ve found is still getting adjusted, but there’s a subscribe button on mobile that’s hidden behind the kbin logo and then the sidebar will open up and there’s a subscribe button in there.

    I’m mostly just browsing /all for now but streamlining the UI/UX looks like it’s on the agenda to help new people find content

      The poster you’re talking to is from lemmy.click. The GUI looks completely from their point of view.

      Here’s a full web-link to what @spzi@lemmy.click sees: https://lemmy.click/comment/145357

      So life is a bit difficult since we’re all on different servers, and each server will have its own bugs with federation. But all in all, we’re able to communicate and try to work things out.
