Let’s go!!

You can try the “more > copy link to fediverse”

But you shouldnt have to browse kbin.social then copy that link to a url formatted for you instance.

On your kbin.cafe you could try /d/kbin.social to try and do a link too. Might just need to follow the /m/ on other instances to see the posts from other kbin and lemmy instances.

You and others on kbin.cafe will have to subscribe to the same magazine on other instances. You would interact with it just like you are now with this post on kbin.social. There is a possibility the same post could appear in the general / all feed of federated posts too.

You are viewing a post that is originating on kbin social. It is then federating to your instance in kbin.cafe. So your instance is receiving a copy in a way to view and interact with the post. Your instance then can send a copy of the replies and comments to the originating instance so they can all work together.

They all do interact and “work” together. I know Dansup is working on a single sign in with mastodon to Pixelfed. That’ll be a nice integration too. I think what kind of integration will be nice to have one account across multiple platforms.

This is looking great! Going to be a nice addition to the kbin experience. Can’t wait!

Could you see anything…? All kbin.social items being blocked, not just the content?

Also seems like Dansup is finding a lot of spam accounts on lemmy instances too. He manages the fedidb of all the fediverse software and platforms with various metrics

you could for sure. If you're not using a git service for other projects I can see the hesitation of creating an account just for a single issue. But then again, Codeberg is a great alternative to GitHub. Either way I do think some minor improvements could be made.

I use these settings, but the bottom two will show you the new posts/treads in the subscribed magazine. I too, was getting a lot of notifications for every new item in kbin I subscribed to. I changed it to just what I posts and comments. I don't mind setting my "home" screen to my subscribed content and then going back to all the federated content as well. I do want to know when someone replies to my content so I can continue the conversation better.

I’ve seen some strange things too with mark down especially in the title of posts if there are links. I also think the markdown processor for kbin could use an update.

I did create this this issue so hopefully there’s some better markdown support in the future.

I don’t think it’s a matter of “the fediverse isn’t built for that kind of privacy”. The fediverse does have privacy post options all built into the platform you’re using. Mastodon allows private posts, only those who follow you. Kbin is a mashup of Reddit style threads and microblog timeline posts.

Kbin was developed to show upvotes and boosts as those are synonymous to other platforms like mastodon as favorites and boosts.

The lemmy platform is more “private” that on lemmy posts you don’t see this as much. With federation and interacting similarly between ecosystems you start seeing the minor differences.

I do think that changes as possible and that is what makes the open source of the platforms we’re using to be important and requires community input for improvements and suggestions as a whole.
