MODERATORS
 

Because they don't get listed by browse.feddit.de you'll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines to browse "magazines", which is what they call communities

e.g. !RedditMigration@kbin.social

or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @ernest@kbin.social over the past few days.

So anyway to make the app Jerboa work with kbin?

[–] CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think so, currently. kbin has a fundamentally different backend AFAIK

[–] lixus98@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

There are plans to have a lemmy-like api for kbin so it works too

[–] jake_eric@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm replying to this on Jerboa right now, so I would assume there's a way, yeah.

[–] ndr@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

But you're using a Lemmy account to post, I'm confused...?

[–] jake_eric@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Wait

Ah, I've misinterpreted, I first saw this post on kbin, but it's a Lemmy post, so of course I can see it on Lemmy.

In that case I dunno. Will kbin posts be viewable on Lemmy, since the reverse is now possible?

Update: I seem to have found a way to view AskKbin on Lemmy/Jerboa, though only a few posts are actually showing up. Is this even intended behavior?

AFAIK posts only sync from the moment the first person on your instance subscribes

[–] jake_eric@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure I understand, does that go both ways or just for Lemmy looking at Kbin? And is that intended behavior or a bug? Doesn't sound like that'll work very well.

[–] ndr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not entirely sure. It is true for Lemmy. I guess it is true for kbin too, but someone from there should confirm.

I think it's a limitation (for now?).

[–] jake_eric@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for the info. Trying to upvote you and it's not working lol. Assuming that's not intended.

[–] ndr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

LMAO I do see an upvote, don't know whose though.

There is a bug now that the upvotes/downvotes display incorrectly, even if they work the first time already. Try to refresh the page to check if it shows up.

How did you do the gif avatar? I tried and it didn't work. :(
