Federating posts from kbin?

Maybe I'm behind on this but I looked through all of the relevant posts I could find and can't get this working.

If I'm on my lemmy instance, I have figured out how to search for kbin magazines, but none of them populate/federate. For example, if I'm looking for /m/AskKbin I can search for https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin in my lemmy instance search bar, and it finds the community. But no posts are federated. This is the same for every community/magazine that I try and subscribe to from my lemmy instance

Am I doing something wrong here?

Am I crazy or does Lemmy.World's logo look like the ISIS flag?
  • Uhhh.... bit of a stretch. Is it also similar to any other flag with lines that miiiiight look like an L and a W when you squint your eyes?

  • Someone left this 6 month old kitten outside of the shelter near us overnight

    As soon as we saw her my partner and I knew we needed to adopt her and bring her home. Ever since then she’s been snuggling with me every morning

  • What a little baby
  • She's still a baby so not super sure. I feel like it's an average sized tail? Not noticeably longer than our other cat's tail

    Google is getting a lot worse because of subreddits being private
  • I wonder if they could shift to showing cached versions of pages, so that data is still accessible externally, but you can't interact or get to it from reddit.

  • Tracking the growth of Lemmy + Kbin
  • This is so cool to see! Arguably more relevant data would be daily active users and posts per day, rather than totals of all time. That way we can see the fluctuation day to day and get a better sense of who is just coming here and who is staying here

  • Introduction
  • So lovely to meet you Ada! Also, what is it about transitioning and hormones that makes people look at least 10 years younger?

    Hey all!

    My name is bee, I use they/it pronouns, and I'm the admin over at honeyhive.social. Though small this seems to be one of the more populated trans communities so I figured I would reach out and keep the intros going.

    By day I'm a server administrator for a big tech company, and I guess I'm a server admin in my free time now too. I also am suuuuper into bikes and anything to do with biking, and kinda consider myself pretty radically anti-car. I volunteer my time going around the city giving people free tune ups and anything else I can do to reduce the barriers to bike-ability in my city.

    I also love cute story-driven games, I write poetry, I make super skin friendly soap, and I am a mom to two gorgeous and feisty cats.

    So lovely to be here and I'm excited to meet y'all!

    I got us banned from beehaw
  • You clearly don't know how any of this works. Federated content is literally "a house divided" and it all works better that way.

  • Why is a post I made to lemmy.world/c/therewasanattempt showing up in kbin.social/m/random?
  • AFAIK it doesn’t go back and update old posts. So if the connection is fixed and the bridge between these two services is rock solid, everything before that won’t be changed. It will only affect future posts.

  • For reasons no one can fathom, McDonald’s has released a new Game Boy Color game
  • Wait there aren’t any actual carts for this? Did they just drop a rom file somewhere? Who at McDonald’s came up with this idea and how can we get them a raise!

  • Why is a post I made to lemmy.world/c/therewasanattempt showing up in kbin.social/m/random?
  • Federation is not perfect between kbin and lemmy. On kbin instances, if the server pulls some federated content that it isn’t quite sure what to do with, it drops it into m/random. Same thing happens if it’s missing any sort of meta data AFAIK

  • I need some clarification on how this federated stuff works - if I report a comment, who does the report go to?
  • As far as I know they go to the moderators of the community that the post was in. Admins have some level of oversight but for the most part individual communities moderate themselves.

    For example, if your account lives on lemmy.ml, but you’re browsing content from [email protected], when you report a comment it will go to the moderators of [email protected] to take action. Admins who oversee all of beehaw.org can see a log of moderator actions across the whole instance, but for the most part they don’t participate in moderation except in very small communities.

    It’s also important to remember that some communities were stood up very quickly and in some cases the people who started them and are the only mod might have stepped away and are no longer checking on reports. In this case it would be good to reach out to a site admin to take action and appoint a new mod of the community.

    Hopefully that makes sense!

  • I’m the admin at https://honeyhive.social we’re still up and coming but the whole idea was to make a general use instance to take off some of the strain that the big instances are feeling
