@Pare Oh dear 😕 It did work when I first posted the link, but you're right, it doesn't seem to be working now. Hopefully it gets fixed.

@rom Federation might also be a bit flaky right now with some instances because of load and DDOS mitigation... but I believe what I said is SUPPOSED to be how it works 😅

@rom @jdp23 What should work, I believe, is copying the URL of that post, pasting it into the search bar of your instance, hopefully seeing the post come up (likely it'll look like a title and a link to the full post), and then replying to that post 🙂

@jdp23 @rom Cool! Good to know that's how it appears in Lemmy. I'll be interested to know how Kbin deals with it too, once a post can get through Cloudflare. I wasn't sure if it'd show up as a thread or if it'd be relegated to the "Microblog" tab.

@rom If you don't particularly want the Kbin-style reading interface (with an algorithm to sort posts by "hot", like Reddit) then there shouldn't be any need to make a separate Kbin account, I wouldn't think. Kbin posts will show up in their chronological place in a microblogging feed 🙂

@rom Kbin does federate with Mastodon/Calckey/Pleroma et al! A user of Mastodon (or one of the others) should be able to follow a Kbin user or "magazine" (group), upvote via likes, and reply to posts. Kbin also has "Microblog" tabs (for magazines and generally) where you can see microblog-style posts from Mastodon or wherever hashtagged with the magazine name. (And it also seems possible for Mastodon users to post directly to the group but idk exactly how 🙃)

@queer_of_swords @orionkidder You can, but I don't blame you for not finding it straightforward!

If you can't come across Kbin/Lemmy users incidentally (by people boosting them into your feed), then I think the best way would be to have a browse of the "Magazines" list on kbin.social or the "Communities" list of a big Lemmy instance like beehaw.org, and copy-paste the URLs into the search bar on your instance. However, this is still a bit finnicky… sometimes stuff doesn't come up even when you put the URL in correctly. I think posts are more likely to come up as expected than users, which are in turn more likely than communities. It's definitely something where improvements are needed, and I'm sure the devs have it on their radar as something to work on 🙂

@GreenZero In Australia, it's also "What's the Time, Mr Wolf?" 🙂

OK, so I’ve been unable to resist the siren call of the “threadiverse” any longer… I’ve made a #Kbin account at @jayeless@kbin.social 😊 (I know you can follow communities from a Mastodon account, but I feel like the threaded interface works better for reading them!)

It also looks like Kbin now maps its upvotes to broader Fediverse “likes”, like Lemmy (previously Kbin upvotes were boosts), which I think is a good change 👍

@tchambers Thank you! I'm glad others have got value out of it 😃

I wrote a little blog post about my thoughts on the shenanigans Reddit is pulling, and the current state of the Fedi Reddit-likes, Lemmy and kbin 🙂
