That is so exciting, all of us playing together in here is such a cool concept.
You Should Know
YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

I tried joining some kbin magazines from here (E.G: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] and https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] ). It did work but I'm unable to see any post from those communities. Instead the one you linked ( https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] ) works perfectly (even for newest posts/comments). Is there any fix ? EDIT: To add more troubleshooting info, It doesn't say pending, it correctly says "joined" but still no posts.
Does this mean you are posting this on lemmy.world and I am reading it on kbin?
For those of us new to the fediverse, this is so exciting!
Is looking at the username how you can tell where a post is coming from? I was so confused a while ago with posts saying "something something fellow Beehaw users!" and it was marked as (kbin.social) lol.
Yup, exactly. Welcome to the fediverse!
Can we please call it literally anything else? I'm tired of "verses".
Sure. Welcome to the federanus.
...which is now open for business!
Total newb here, how does one collapse comment threads on the web browser version of kbin here? I've tried clicking around and don't see some UI element or anything to indicate how to do such an action.
We don't have it yet. Kbin is really new, and we kind of swamped the dev with our sudden influx. It's on people's wishlists though, so I'm sure we will have it in future!
I didn't expect this so soon. Great job, Earnest and team!
Now I'm curious, can KBin users be mods on Lemmy instances, and can Lemmy users moderate Kbin magazines?
@CodingAndCoffee So nice to be able to comment on this straight from Mastodon, too. Though it's weird that the existing comments don't show up on Mastodon when I paste the URL to this post in my search box (t)here.
OH THATS how you search for specific magazines on here (I am on kbin)!
Just started adding subscriptions to kbin magazines and I think it's starting to sink in that there is actually a decent-sized community growing here with a LOT more potential. The FediVerse being decentralized makes things feel a bit empty at first as it is now, but once you start hooking up to other platforms' content it immediately feels twice as big. The trick over time will be cross-platform development efforts that make things look and feel more seamless.
Certainly in this case, because of how how much traffic kbin.social was getting and how long it was running unfederated.
So I'm looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I've tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/[email protected]), I've tried searching in the "communities" search, and I'm just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?
I wanted to add [email protected] but nothing happens. Any idea why it may be? :(
You're using the Lemmy url syntax instead of the kbin one. Go to the kbin url and copy it exactly as it is, and search within Lemmy for that url.
Ohhh. I see. It's empty like the other poster said. I'll give it time. Thank you!
Post some yourself :) we have to move beyond consumption if we want these communities to grow
You can look at my profile to see I've been doing a lot. I opted my instance into all cat communities. I'm practically a messiah. UwU
hello. can confirm. I'm on kbin.social right now and seeing this thread. I'm not sure federating is entirely up just yet but it's working a lot better/faster than it was these past few days. Definitely seeing an influx of beehaw and lemmy world users and posts :)
Unfortunately, beehaw has decided that they don't like this whole "federation" thing. Hopefully we'll see replacements for their communities in the coming days.
Kbin users weren't defederated from them so we can still see and post in their communities.
This is great but I am still unable to search for communities in kbin. At least I tried [email protected] and [email protected] a few time the last few minutes but still no result.
I haven't been able to join Kbin magazines by searching in the !magazine@instance format, but when I just paste the URL from Kbin into the search I've been able to add them that way.
