Why is /kbin federation with Lemmy and Mastodon usually broken?
Just wanted to ask.

OC Mastodon's Next Major Release Enables Full-Text Search (wedistribute.org)
One of the biggest criticisms of Mastodon's technical capabilities involves how limited its search system is. With a new update, everything has changed.
I'm new here, just here to post things
Honestly, when it comes to the Fediverse, I find that seeing these posts on my Mastodon Account is really useful!...

We need a more user-friendly approach to telling people about the Fediverse
I'm assuming most of us here want a large community. The reality is most people aren't into technology nearly as much as many of the people actually on the Fediverse. For other people who are into tech (like myself and a lot of people here), the federation technology itself being promoted as a core component of the appeal makes...
FediDB is a tool to track the size and growth of Fediverse platforms and instances (fedidb.org)
Unsure if this fits here, but the tool's been quite fun to look through. It lets you look at specific Fediverse software and instances, see graphs for their growth. And there's even a whole section for the Threadiverse (Lemmy & Kbin)

Thoughts on BBC joining the fediverse
I have a lot a lot of conflicting feelings towards the #BBC 's recent decision to join the #fediverse. Considering the limitations of the microblogging format, and it's tendency to discourage expressing of complex thoughts and nuance, I thought I would try expressing them in a format that allowed more room for expression. This...
Testing: If you can see this post, tell me how your day is going.
This is a test to see if threads on this mag are visible to Mastodon. If you see this, what's up? How are you holding up?
Will /kbin eventually support the more "advanced" microblog platforms like Misskey or Firefish?
It looks like right now, you can view /kbin users and content from Misskey and Firefish instances, but not the other way around; I'm not able to view my accounts from either of those instances here on /kbin. From what I can tell, I can only view content from Mastodon and Pixelfed instances....

Want to move on from Mastodon, but so confused on what platform to choose
Recently I've dove a little deeper into the Fediverse. I began with Mastodon like many others and I'm ready to move on. Mastodon as a software in comparison to similar services in the Fediverse like Calckey/Firefish, Friendica, Misskey, etc. just isn't as good and the only thing it has going for it is an established user base...

My First 24hrs on Kbin
When I first joined Kbin I didn't think nothing of it, I had already been enjoying and using Lemmy as well as Mastodon and other parts of the Fediverse, So I knew what I was roughly getting into but didn't release how much Kbin had to offer....
