i've read kbin might get merged with lemmy (or vice versa, whatever) , but cannot find the post talking about it anymore

anyone to confirm whether it's true (perhaps was I just dreaming , after all)

[โ€“] Parallax@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Is there any benefit to merging if it's all just federated between them?

[โ€“] Chairished@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

my aplogies, I thought they couldn't access each other's content, which , as zekiz said, isnt the case

[โ€“] zekiz@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What do you mean? They can access the contents of each other

[โ€“] Chairished@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

oh? I understood they couldn't , thanks for correcting me !

I was wrong and spewed missinformation. Sorry

[โ€“] MadCybertist@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which kbin instance?

I know BeeHaw defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

Iโ€™m unaware of it defederating kbin instance. I do know for a fact it wasnโ€™t kbin.social.

Then I'm sorry I was misinformed, editing

This is not true but I've seen this posted many times. I don't even think there was talk of defederating from kbin among the admins. But I think this is a great litmus test for how people generally feel about that defederation. People simply see beehaw cutting itself off from the other large instances and assume that's the policy.

Yup I'm reading and posting this from Kbin right now! Federation is awesome!

As far as I know, lemmy instances can't sub to kbin magazines yet. I can't on my instance at least

[โ€“] death916@lemmy.death916.xyz 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

im subbed to several kbin magazines form my instance

[โ€“] speff@melly.0x-ia.moe 3 points 1 year ago

Interesting - then it's a problem with my thing's config. Thanks for the info - I'll check into it

[โ€“] CynicalStoic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I had that problem earlier as well earlier in the week but Iโ€™m able to sub to kbin.social magazines now. Still figuring out how all this works though ๐Ÿ˜„
