I wanted to install either lemmy or /kbin today. Both want me to use docker. Both then run a second http-server and a second database which I already have running. It seems it will not be so easy to install one of them alongside all my other services on the server.

How would one instance know that I set up a new instance without a central service?
Ok, in https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/8373/Lemmy-compatibility someone figured out that you need to replace the ! with a @ and then it works to find it through the search. I tried it and could subscribe to the magazine I wanted.
Oh wow, thanks for figuring it out! We've been talking about it in: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/3836/Search-for-remote-magazines-communities-not-always-works but nobody pointed out to replace the ! with a @.
They've been loosing money for 20 years, now they want the IPO so they need to show that they can also make money.
I joined /kbin because @feditips warned about lemmy, but https://kbin.social federates with lemmy.ml and in the China topic somehow within 3 hours or so me using /kbin I got into an argument with Tiananmen Square massacre deniers and the moderators started deleting my comments. Damn, I did not expect this to escalate so quickly. And this was not even on lemmygrad.
Anyway, I'm hoping for better blocking tools in /kbin because this will let me survive on that platform :D
And I'm reading it on /kbin
That's what consulates and embassies are for, no need to have hidden Chinese police in the back of the restaurant.
I have the same problem, trying to add !deutschland@feddit.de ad independent of what I do it doesn't show up.

Is this the reason why my single-user instance can't subscribe to any https://kbin.social magazine? I'm not even getting an error, just "Subscription Pending". That sounds kind of broken and different to how Mastodon is dealing with that issue.
Do I somewhere need to apply to be able to subscribe to any /kbin magazines? If so where do I do that? Is there a email I can sent my application to? Or is the idea that if you have a single user instance you create a new user on every instance to find some meta-magazine where you can ask to be able to subscribe to a magazine on that instance?
Or are small instances not part of the design?
