Does this mean you are posting this on lemmy.world and I am reading it on kbin?
Haha yep, this community is hosted on lemmy.world! And you're commenting from kbin. That's so cool!
Oh, i actually didn't know Kbin (despite these posts lol) was being seen from Lemmy. Iirc when i first saw Kbin a few days ago, Kbin could see Lemmy but Lemmy couldn't see Kbin. Ie it's like it was a partial federation.
I'm curious on if that was accurate and if it was, what caused it in a technical sense. Given i'm a dev working on some ActivityPub stuff, i'm quite interested in it. Though i've not yet used the spec, clearly hah.
It was blocked by kbin having cloudflare DDoS protection enabled to reduce server load. I guess that blocks federation.
Hmm, surely there must be a way to whitelist other instances you want to federate with so they don't get blocked by cloudflare....
I'm sure you can do that in cloudflare but it'd require whitelisting every Lemmy instance that you want to federate with on kbin's end, which is a bit much.
Wow this is neat!
How can I tell that a post is from another instance when browsing on Kbin? Just scanning the card for this thread, it isn't apparent that it's federated content.
If you have the top bar enabled, you can see it at the top on the right hand side.
It's super cool! My mind is now blown!
Yup, exactly. Welcome to the fediverse!
Oh, wow, thanks! I love it that my first inter-fediverse communication was you welcoming me, too.
I come in peace :)
Can we please call it literally anything else? I'm tired of "verses".
@iAmTheTot @CodingAndCoffee @livus @BreadDog It has been the Fediverse long before the other Verses came long.
Universe definitely came along first
@themz true.
@livus @CodingAndCoffee And now I'm replying to it from Mastodon!
@pieceofthepie@social.n8e.dev @livus@kbin.social @CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world Oh good, it's working again! I'm commenting from Calckey.
wow interesting. Mastadon has a decent app in place too doesn't it? That might be the best usage experience for me actually. Mastadon on the phone, Kbin on a desktop. Especially if it all links up.
@waterbottleonashelf @CodingAndCoffee @livus this is what I’m sticking to as a replacement to reddit/app. I’ve been mainly visiting #kbin on desktop but now that it’s federated, a lot of magazines/threads I follow are showing up in my Mastodon app. This #fediverse stuff is great!
So you'd be able to log in to a Lemmy account from mastodon? Like many of us here, I'm still wrapping my head around this fediverse stuff
Is looking at the username how you can tell where a post is coming from? I was so confused a while ago with posts saying "something something fellow Beehaw users!" and it was marked as (kbin.social) lol.
Yeah, that part is a little confusing. Because this is a link aggregation site, it's currently set up to show the domain of whatever link is in the thread. But if it's just a text post, because it's being brought over here it self-reports that we're looking at kbin.social.
If you have the top bar enabled from settings you can see where you're currently looking at the top right.
I'm still trying to work that out too.
@livus @CodingAndCoffee and I'm reading this on mastodon!
Amazing!
I was trying to do this on Monday and couldn't, so I thought it wasn't possible. But now, here we are, and here it is!
