You are definitely seen by kbin.social: kbin.social/m/lemmy@lemmy.ml/active has your post. Why do you say you can’t reply? Sometimes the synchronizing has some hiccups.

You can see how kbin.social is “seeing” you here: https://kbin.social/u/@pfannkuchen_gesicht

this app showed me how much i don’t know from my neighbourhood. It’s really fun.

it even allows you to put notes on things the app doesn’t give you an edit choice by default. I let someone know a street name was outdated that way.

even the mundane is enjoyable, today i went grocery shopping and just added the schedules of the stores I went in.

Esa comuna es una estafa. Fui esperando ver un puente, volví con nada.

Here they talk about this instance stand on defederation. It has some vague responses about this.

Edit: there are some not actually vague

No activity on that request but some related features (#1, #2) are being worked on. So probably we will see some advances in future versions?

Before everyone came over from reddit Lemmygrad was even more extreme than it is now, and was one of the largest Lemmy instances.

This is correct. After all, setting up an instance like Lemmygrad -as an alternative places where discussing politics (especially leftist politics) outside of reddit’s moderation reach- was one of the reasons Lemmy was developed in the first place. Lemmy’s developers are not shy about it, they include it in the official docs.

However I want to know how to find federated instances from a certain instance instead of the sites if I can. Doesn’t ActivityPub have such a method itself?

It probably has a way, since kbin has a federation button at the top right in the sidebar. kbin.social’s bar has the “instances” list empty there. I have no kbin account so I cannot tell if it’s private and the list would be nonempty when someone logged in kbin.social views it. Haven’t seen a dedicated “page” to do that, as Lemmy does in the https://kbin.social/magazinesnces url. You can view all the magazines on the instances you are federating, as they appear in kbin.social/magazines -all the magazines with an @instance suffix are magazines that are currently federating-.

In my opinion, currently federating instances list may not be very useful for discovery and exploration as they tend to get very large and for exploring their magazines properly, they are already in the magazines list of your instance. Any instance not already federating with your instance may start federating -unless blocked- when you subscribe to some magazines, so for community/magazines exploration and discovery, probably a list like The Lemmy Explorer -which includes kbin instances now too- may be of more use. I understand this is not what you want but it is how federation works with apps following the ActivityPub protocol. At least the most popular ones i know.

Blocked/defederated instances lists are more likely to be useful in this sense because they usually are not very large, and they tell you what you have no chance of communicating from your instance.

The list is also empty with my account logging in kbin.social.

Makes perfect sense, tbh. The list of instances federating with yours will get too large pretty quickly to have it listed in the sidebar -see the one of my instance, literally hundreds-. A sidebar is a terrible place for that information.

I want admins to publish their configs to federate/block other instances though they have no duty to do. :D

Maybe you can ask for the feature in the project site and future versions of Kbin will have it and no need for admins to include it themselves. I believe the developers had the intention to show the instances connected -as seen by the sidebar thing-, so maybe it’s just asking for a page similar to Lemmy’s one. Though it is possible that kbin.social admins do not want to show it and are actually hiding it.

As a user. They follow the same communication protocol (ActivityPub). You can view and interact with everyone.

The experience of following Lemmy instances from kbin (and viceversa) is pretty seamless, because they’re built for the same purpose. So following a comunity from a Lemmy instance you’ll see it as any other magazine from kbin.

I believe, but i’m not sure as i don’t use Kbin -i use Lemmy-, that kbin is developed to give the microblogging experience too, so I guess following from Mastodon -or other Fediverse microblogging app- will also be pretty seamless.

The experience of following a Lemmy community or a kbin magazine from Mastodon is not great from a viewing and usability standpoint in my opinion. But it’s very possible, some people do it even. I found it pretty uncomfortable and I do not recommend it. That’s why I have a Mastodon account for the microblogging and a Lemmy account for “the threadiverse” (Lemmy/kbin, but i guess Meta has ruined the term now).

In sum: you can interact, as a user, no code necessary, anything made with ActivityPub. Not only Lemmy, kbin, mastodon, but also Pixelfed and so on. The experience may vary depending on the front-end you use.

yeah, i don’t think that much should be read into it. But in any case, the source does not seem to higlight Lemmy in particular in any way.

Still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, thought I would be able to finish it but I couldn’t.

Very much same. Though not exactly that I could not, more like I do not exactly want to. I am pretty advanced on the plot, so now i am exploring the depths, finding side quests, seeing caves, finding wells. This game is endless.

And maybe I should start helping the korok find their friend, bless them.

I think i know what you mean. I think on the main storyline I only have the final boss left, but I feel so unprepared.

But, both Facebook app and Instagram app are released in the EU afaik, but threads isn’t. That’s odd to me -is it because both apps are previous to those EU laws so they get a pass?

brunox, 11 months ago

if you got the booster pass you get all six waves.

Habrá que esperar entonces, gracias por todo. ^_^

Thanks for this. I'm following the account on Mastodon now. :)

brunox, 11 months ago (edited 11 months ago)

AFAIK there are no tools like that, yet. Keep in mind that Lemmy (and surely Kbin too as I think it's newer) are still very young applications (Lemmy is on version 0.17/18 currently). Development will probably accelerate now as it brought a lot of interest in developers and, as I understand it right now, the github is very active right now.

Mastodon does have migration tools to carry your follows with you, so it's definitely possible and are probably coming soon.

Ultilsnips (I might change to LuaSnips sometime in the future) and VimTeX. I would blame those as the ones that really got me into Neovim.
