     @feditips I'm seeing many posts about kbin, what about lemmy as it is not in alpha right now?

     The servers communicate by federation, you can follow and interact with people, magazines and threads from different servers. You can even do this from non-Kbin servers.

     You don't need a single sign-on in this situation, and the idea of the Fediverse is to avoid any centralised services.

     @feditips @dannekrose I haven’t dug into kbin much yet. What I would love to see, is the ability to have single sign on across servers and have different communities on different servers.

     Ethics and trade-offs are up to each individual to decide, I'm not judging people for having different trade-offs.

     All I can say is that I no longer recommend Lemmy, due to the reasons in the linked thread.

     Do you consider following Lemmy communities from Kbin as unethical?

     You can't start a new magazine thread from Mastodon, but you can reply to an existing thread and follow the magazine's account.

     @feditips @dannekrose I didn’t think I could participate in a magazine from a Mastodon instance. The way I read the FAQ if I follow a magazine Mastodon account I won’t see posts maybe I miss read it.

     Yeah, it's still early days, following from Masto etc might need tweaking.

     There is some concern there could be too many posts in your feed if you're following a busy magazine. But hopefully this can be fixed.

     Things like PeerTube show how well Mastodon can work with a totally different platform. It's very easy indeed to interact with PeerTube accounts and vids from Masto, hopefully Kbin will be like that one day.

     @feditips@mstdn.social @JoeCotellese@jawns.club @dannekrose@kilioa.org following them can get quite messy imo though on anything other than kbin/lemmy

     @feditips my biggest problem with Kbin/Lemmy is that, and this may sound weird, they're trying too hard to be a 1:1 Reddit replacement. Having separate servers but also further separating by "magazines," but then connecting them with a Reddit-like UI seems like a mistake. I feel like there might be a way to do it, but at this point it feels awkward.

     Slight correction to my earlier reply:

     The magazines do appear as groups within Mastodon, and (assuming it's treated the same way Guppe is) the threads should appear as boosts of posts written by the authors of the thread.

     However, I haven't seen the boosts coming through yet, so I'm assuming this part of federation is broken at the moment?

     I clarified that part in that I have only personally tested from Calckey. If anyone has data showing Mastodon will receive new content from only subscribing to a Magazine account, I’ll put that in there, too. Calckey doesn’t handle group accounts well yet. Thank you!

     Federated forums sounds like a fantastic idea, indeed! 👍

     @psaulnier @feditips I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels the same. Subreddits felt more like what should be federated and not the entire reddit itself.

     And if we are just federating subreddits, doesn't it just become a self hosted forum?

     Would love to see a return to these kinds of forums again, maybe with a subforum that has a firehose of federated posts from other forums.
