Is it possible to block the display of comments/posts of a federated domain such as lemmi.world? Too much leftist nonsense is contaminating what could be a usable platform. If I wanted to read thoughtless leftist drivel I'd be on Reddit.

m/dance was created very recently on kbin.social and has only a few posts. Still, if I search for its URL on lemmy.world it is visible and I can subscribe, though I can't see any of the posts: https://lemmy.world/c/dance@kbin.social

I recently created the community c/survey_polls on lemmy.world, but when I search for it on kbin.social it is not visible. I can see the cross-posts I made on c/general and c/newcommunities, and looking at my profile through kbin.social my first post to c/survey_polls also doesn't seem to be visible.

My point is, what communities/posts are or aren't visible across lemmy.world and kbin.social? Do posts from one website only appear on the other if the community already has subscribers? Or is there some sort of time threshold?


To add to this, when looking at the post through lemmy.world you see 1 comment, while on Kbin there are 3. I'm even more confused now.

YOWSA, my masto server is on fire https://hackers.radio.

I don't actually know it to be on fire, and I really hope it isn't, it was in the vein of '..fighting fires...' in the old IT-Speak.

It sure ain't workin' thouigh, some IT Type needs to get over there and put out the fire, as it were. ;)

Very curious how well kbin can work as a Mastodon replacement in addition to a threadiverse reader. Does it work as a one-stop shop for fediverse browsing?

You know what fucks me up? The fact that several different #Fediverse platforms can seemingly talk to each other seamlessly, even the ones that seemingly were not even meant to talk to each other. Stuff on #mastodon is visible here on #kbin. My account from a #Lemmy instance can see my other account on #CalcKey. There's several different "not-Twitter" services each with their own interfaces and instances, and they all chat with each other. I can feel my brain expanding as I learn all of this.

A detailed look at the timeline behind Meta's interactions with the Fediverse, how different parts of the network have reacted, and some insights on where things might be going.

First post on kbin. Sorry if this ends up somewhere it shouldn't. Still figuring things out.

I don't think I'm ready to leave reddit completely, but I don't want to stay there. My compromise has been to bookmark niche subs that still don't have an active equivalent on fediverse or elsewhere. At the very least, I don't have to settle for the insufferable communities on reddit when better communities exist here. So long r/nintendo, r/pokemon.

I find myself doing far less doomscrolling on one site now, and more popping into different places on different sites like I used to pre social media hubs. I might visit my hometowns sub or r/ADHD on reddit, read about current events or gaming news here, and pop into tildes for pleasant conversation. All in all, if there is one positive thing the reddit enshitening has caused, its for the web to feel less centralized and a little more like 2008's internet.

and I can only hope this trend continues.

Dude, Kbin is running so much more smoothly now!

Guess this is going to be my Fedi home, I wasn't certain till the instability was cleared up!

House Oversight Committee ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has shared a transcript from the owner of Burisma that directly refutes the Biden bribery allegations.

Can any #fediverse / #ActivityPub devs take a look at a proposal I submitted to #kbin and #lemmy?

Since the lemmy issue is getting overrun with people talking about other proposals, I'm thinking about submitting this as a #FEP. Is that still a useful process? I don't know how many projects look to FEPs for implementation guidance.

Can someone help me with a few kbin/lemmy questions? I'm trying to understand the difference between the upvote and "boost". Also the differences between Threads, Microblog, and Magazines.

TYIA!

I'm the creator of @Bestof or !BestOf@kbin.social and I've been trying to grow the community for the last couple of weeks. It was an uphill battle as I could only get 5-10 members every day, sometimes even much less.

After finally hitting 100 subscribers yesterday, 200 subscribers this morning, and nearly at 300 subscribers this afternoon, I believe my community is really fruiting!

Thank you so much for your interest. I will do my best to manage this community and have it flourish. I can envision how fantastic it will be, and I hope it contributes to your enjoyment of the Fediverse!

Guten tag Hans, we need better transmission and Schlachtschiffkanone.

The Fediverse is a massive place with many different software platforms that have different goals but share their support of the ActivityPub protocol.

Twitter Clone

  • mastodon
  • pleroma
  • soapbox

Youtube Clone

  • peertube

Instagram Clone

  • pixelfed

Facebook Clone -Friendica

Blogging Platforms

  • writefreely
  • wordpress

Book sites

  • bookwyrm

Music sites

  • funkwhale

and if you're really stretching the definition then perhaps chat services like matrix (though matrix doesn't use activitypub).

According to one of my favorite sources on the matter, https://the-federation.info/ the fediverse has about 2M active users.

The "threadiverse" consists mostly of the reddit clones. It includes lemmy and kbin, and in more limited extents lotide (It fits the bill but has challenges with federation) and parts of friendica as well as possibly a.gup.pe.

This is just a small taste of all the different projects out there. For a lot of people they might not like one thing but they might like others. Decentralization is strength on the fediverse.

The next 2 weeks...any predictions/bets on what it will be then?

When I look at https://lemmy.ml/c/startrek vs https://kbin.social/m/startrek I see two entirely different lists of posts. Why? It's the same topic, just on different instances. How can we have communities about topics without having them siloed into their own instance-based communities? Is this just related to that 0.18 issue with Lemmy/kbin not talking nicely, or is this how the Fediverse is?

Is it (at least theoretically) possible for me to post an article on https://kbin.social/m/startrek and have it automatically show up on https://lemmy.ml/c/startrek, or are they always going to be two separate communities?

A few months ago, this concept of “p92” started leaking and it was rumored that Meta was joining the fediverse. Initially, not much happened with the discussion. I could run around and say “Nope, I’m not defederating” and no one really cared or challenged that position. I made it clear I advocate for user agency; I’ll teach users how to block Meta if they desire. No one said much to me. Some debates came and went, life went on

I found articles referring to https://twitodon.com/, but it seems the site is down?

I'm getting started with my new band and as a recent reddfugee I was wondering if we could set up our web presence in the Fediverse. Now where would we do this? We'd like to upload songs, share news about concerts and stuff, and post pics from recent events.

Looking for the best place in the fediverse that is dedicated towards images and/ or posting art. Any suggestions?
