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.

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.

    It was, and then it wasn’t as the admin had to enable Cloudflare DDOS protection during the Reddit surge. This broke federation, but it’s back off now and Kbin’s back in the fold.

      This happened almost a week ago. So we have been federating for a bit now.
