Yes, I have had ongoing issues with friends on lemm.ee accessing my magazines on kbin.social, despite being federated. That problem has persisted for about a month.

I guess even the things that seem to work properly have kinks to iron out.

But that’s the whole point of the post. I’m missing posts/threads from users. It’s so much more than just subscriber count unfortunately. Votes were off as well from kbin vs Lemmy (Lemmy seems to auto upvote your own post, kbin doesn’t - which could explain some variance) but haven’t checked comments.

Respectfully, that doesn’t have anything to do with what is happening here.

Why is it that when I go to a Lemmy community from kbin I see three posts by user123 in the last 24 hours, but when I go from Lemmy I see user123 has made 12 posts in the last 24 hours?

Something is not working as intended.

Thank you! I’d boost your comment but I get an error message each time I try

It’s happened to several, but yeah, alternativenation was the one that set me off lol. I saw so many posts about so many great artists when I viewed from Lemmy! I was so bummed seeing everything I missed and didn’t even realize I was missing it!

I have also wondered about search functionality. I have a magazine that is music focused but doesn’t have the word music in it. However, with Kbin, I’m not aware (please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, I can be a blundering idiot with technology) of a way to tag or add key search words for my magazine. So if you search for Music it will not show up. I assume Lemmy has something like that which is why something like the Punk community returns from a “music” search.

Very well said. Great call out.

Nice! Thanks for the info :)

You calling me Ayn Rand for saying that we should not hand over all power to a single corporation and then in the same breath also suggesting conglomerating all instances into one is… a bit absurd in my opinion. I am also going to choose to overlook you trying to link having the option to click ‘subscribe’ three times to the plight of Ukrainian refugees.

I do apologize if it seems I’m “mocking” anyone. Clearly that is not my intention - especially on ‘No Stupid Questions’. Try not to become so defensive here, we’re just having a conversation.

You asked and I shared my response.

Best of luck.

This is how the world works. On Reddit there were multiple subs that covered the same topics, but the mods developed different cultures and vibes through moderation tactics and sub policies.

If you want a car, there are different companies who all provide one but with different options. Same goes for ISPs, TV networks, restaurants, and schools.

It isn’t at all a new concept and I’m not sure why people coming from reddit continue to get stuck on it. Subscribe to them all and as they mature unsub from the ones that develop into something you don’t feel like you need.

Posting to all of them will be easier when cross posting is possible on Kbin (it is already possible on Lemmy) but developments like that often take time.

Adding an edit as I’ve thought a bit more: I think it’s important, for those coming from reddit, to truly understand why the Fediverse exists. The intention is to be open source. To ensure that there is no single source of power. There are ‘unlimited’ options (instances, magazines, etc.) to ensure that it cannot be swayed, corrupted.

This is why people are coming from Reddit - you are seeing what happens when one corporation has the power and sets the terms.

I think it’s lovely to dip your toes here, ask questions, and see if you’d like to stick around. But please do understand the intention is not to be Reddit 2.0. We should not try to turn it into that.

Try that

It should be https://[your instance]/c/[kbin magazine name]@[kbin instance]

Do note that if you are the first person on your instance to try this, the URL will fail, and you will have to try again a bit later once your instance has had some time to make a copy of the magazine. Also, if you see a “Pending Subscription” message, in my experience, that does not resolve itself, and you will just need to try again a bit later and it will go through instantly.

RIP BlameThePeacock. Tragically eaten alive by billionaires before they could finish their post.

My wife is a firm believer that not using a signal in a left turn lane universally means you’re u-turning.

Absolutely agree. The optimist in me wants to be excited for what this means and how this could impact the future of, well, the Internet.

But then I remember this is Meta we’re taking about. They do not do things that are good for anyone but Meta. As someone who doesn’t use meta products, this brings concern.

I think you’re underestimating evil.

Competition is for losers.

From what I have read, I think it’s all of the above.

• a space is wanted free from corps, ads, data perversion

• people are fearful that 30 million people joining threads has automatically made it the largest instance. Once it integrates with ActivityPub and can federate, it will dominate the space and produce the majority of the content. People are fearful then meta will retract it/ defederate and take the majority of content and content production with it (EEE). This would effectively kill the fediverse.

• many believe meta will not act in good faith and is doing this to appease European courts and laws

Because of all of this people likely believe keeping threads quarantined right off the bat is the best solution to mitigate the amount of damage they can do to what’s already been established.

Edit: I am adding to this post as I just stumbled across a post from the host of the lemm.ee instance (which I am a big fan of). He has also listed some great cons of Facebook stepping into the fediverse:

-there is nothing stopping facebook from sending out ads as posts/comments with artificially inflated scores which would ensure they end up on the front page of “all” for federated servers
-threads already has more users than all of Lemmy’s instances… therefore, they can completely control what the front page looks like by dictating what their users see and vote on
-moderation does not seem like a priority for threads which would increase workload for smaller instances
-REVENUE FOCUSED

I paraphrased a lot of this but as this is getting some traction I wanted to provide additional visibility to the cons of federating with the Facebook.

Oooh is that Thommy boy <3

We looked across the sea and saw the people who aren’t so obsessed with dentistry.
