It is as simple as providing a service that has all content I want to watch. Look at things like Spotify or Apple Music. They don't have everything, but it's enough and has effectively stopped my pirating music.

Same with Netflix. It stopped me pirating because of the convenience, but since everything got separated in its own service again, I started up my own plex server. I'm not jumping through a million hoops to watch a stupid show or film...

Not to mention keeping game saves in sync. I’m experimenting with syncthing for my pirated games, but I have to admit that just getting the Steam version sounds much more sensible now that I’ve my Steam deck.

If it is I can't see it (on Kbin at least). It's still fully visible here.

You could at least tag this as NSFW…

That’s okay. So do developers.

I just tested it with my account on lemmy.world, and the posts do indeed show up on Kbin now.
That's really good to know. Thank you so much for the explanation!

I see. I assume you mean the interaction has to happen on the remote side then, since we can't see the posts on Kbin?

~~Darn, that's a bummer. :(~~

Edit: It turns out that, as per czech's answer you can let the posts federate by interacting with them on the remote.

 

So, to explain in more detail: I read about a new community on newcommunities and I decided to search for it so that it started federating with Kbin.

However, when I visit the community on lemmy.world, there are already 32 posts from before the community became visible on kbin, but I can only see the posts that were made after I "discovered" the community on Kbin.

I'm not sure. I remember I was waiting for it to go on sale when I needed it, and it happened pretty quickly. But I don't know if it happens at any set intervals.

I feel like it is, but, be on the lookout for a sale and get the lifetime option when there's a sale.

Chromium and excellent do not belong in the same sentence.

No maybes. Do it.
