I’m currently on a mission to compile a list of health-related communities and overall maybe turn that community into something useful and available to everyone. (If someone wants to help, I’ll welcome it. This is just a quick and dirty start.)
I went to look how things look from Kbin and Beehaw, and well, it’s not good. Kbin doesn’t seem to transfer updates, edits, and most comments, nor does it seem to recognize Lemmy pinned posts. And Beehaw has defederated from lemmy.world, so they don’t receive any new posts or anything.
What to do to make content “perfectly” available to those instances as well? The only thing I can fathom is to make accounts on both and make clone communities/magazines.
Or just forget it and wait until the federation issues resolve themselves, I guess.
Anyone here who’s also on beehaw and kbin? Would they even care?
Thx
Edit: I looked at the post again through kbin and it’s now fully updated (albeit not pinned). I guess Lemmy content updates on kbin when a logged-in user opens it?
Running an instance that focuses mostly on health related topics might help with being able to federate with most other instances. Most instances only seem to defederate if they are vectors for bots/harassment or their policies fundamentally differ. If an instance was purely devoted to only health related topics, this would help limit this. Sadly, health is pretty subjective and politicized these days for various reasons, so it might also not be a perfect solution.
That would be nice, yea. Maybe someone will make one eventually.
