    That is so exciting, all of us playing together in here is such a cool concept.

    Does this mean you are posting this on lemmy.world and I am reading it on kbin?

    For those of us new to the fediverse, this is so exciting!

    Jerboa seems to crash when clicking links with the ! point but I can do it from the desktop browser. This is great!

    Just started adding subscriptions to kbin magazines and I think it’s starting to sink in that there is actually a decent-sized community growing here with a LOT more potential. The FediVerse being decentralized makes things feel a bit empty at first as it is now, but once you start hooking up to other platforms’ content it immediately feels twice as big. The trick over time will be cross-platform development efforts that make things look and feel more seamless.

      Certainly in this case, because of how how much traffic kbin.social was getting and how long it was running unfederated.

    That explains why I’ve been seeing some people saying “magazine”

    I wish Kbin and Lemmy could agree on a format for linking communities

    Great news, thanks for the heads-up! Hopefully, though, we get some way to search both Lemmy communities and Kbin magazines through one browser.

    Having to use browse.feddit.de and kbin.social/magazines separately doesn’t seem optimal.

      yeah kbin and lemmy don’t seem to interact very well… having two separate hives that don’t talk to each other isn’t good for the fediverse, it creates unnecessary fragmentation :(

    Seeing lemmy posts on kbin this morning has me so excited. I don’t even know how the R site can even compete with the fediverse at this rate

        What is a reddit thread if not a root tweet with a bunch of replies (and replies to the replies) formatted in a way that you see the organization of the replies?

          I like this idea and the Mastedon app seems much faster to post… that’s really my only wish list item from lemmy right now. I’m figuring that’s a temporary imbalance of increase activity and server bandwidth/speed? I understand we are decentralized but so is Mastodon and at least my instance is very smooth and fast.

            I can’t speak to Lemmy’s implementation (I refuse to go near lemmy on account of the maintainers “politics”), but there’s nothing fundamental about threading that should make posting slower.

            Loading threads here is… different… work than loading your feed in mastodon, it’s possibly slower, but posting is from a theoretical standpoint the same. Probably you’re just seeing the effect of your lemmy instance not running on sufficient hardware (very understandable given the explosion in user space size).

              Can you elaborate on the ‘politics’?

              I sense something weird , especially with the hardcoded ‘hate speech’ filter, which seems to run contrary to federation.

              Anything else I should know about ?

                The two main devs seem to be Tankies or have at least close views. From what I heard, the hardcoded filter isn’t a thing anymore and was removed after heavy protest from other contributors. The good thing is that they don’t have any control outside their own instance and in worst case people would simply copy the project (since it’s open source) and move on without them. I hope that the different instances + community take a part of the donations to pay independent full time code contributors.

                The broad strokes are here: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379

                In addition to the more important issues that fedi-tips discusses I find their stance on anti-vax and US-election conspiracy theories… unappealing, which you can see being discussed here: https://lemmy.ml/post/143057

                And that they haven’t been shy about exerting their power for political purposes. The hardcoded slur-filter was explicitly about discouraging “right wingers” (I put that in quotes because I suspect their definition of right wing and mine differ), and they at least use to be open about their intentions to moderate the instances that they run as explicitly “left wing” (though I don’t see a reference to that on the current site).

                  Oh man , that is disappointing.

                  I’m certainly not a ‘right-winger’ , but i hate the idea of arbitrary, centralized control of what ‘hate speech’ means .

                  That doesn’t sound ‘federated’ to me!
