Did some testing and seems like federation is working much better between #KBin and #Lemmy now! Some instances still don't seem to be federating properly though.
Current federation status from my testing magazine, mirroring our #reddit /r/thegoldengator
I'm really excited to jump on the Activitypub/Fediverse train, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around how it works. Kbin is federated (or its supposed to be, apparently DDoS protection is hampering that?), but I'm not sure how I can sign up with my Mastodon account. I already have one, @ArchieBAntlers , and apparently...
Does anyone else just feel really, really good just being here? I am brand new and I ain’t going anywhere. Even with less content, or minor interface/web inconveniences (all of which are being addressed and that’s a pleasure to watch too) it feels like a community. Good vibes all around.
Believe the hype, y’all. @hariette and the team are building something special with @ArtemisApp. The alpha feels better than some finished products I’ve used recently. So much polish in every pixel of this thing. #artemis#threadiverse#RedditMigration#reddit
Thinking through the Reddit crisis, I'd recommend that @ernest and @dessalines contact the creators of the most popular reddit clients and work together to piece a bridge that would take the calls that were made to #reddit and translate them into API calls that would go to #lemmy and #kbin
Having those clients run in the same way against the #fediverse equivalents would reduce friction for end-users and potentially help a lot of moderators who rely on them.
Not for nothing, but @minnieo is doing some AMAZING digital organizing for the #RedditBlackout and the #RedditMigration and anyone who cares about either, or the Fediverse writ large, should follow and learn from her.
For people like me who used #Reddit through an app (Apollo in my case) and are looking to replace it with a #Fediverse alternative, things are looking up. Lemmy and Kbin are seeing explosive growth. Although you can follow these from Mastodon, you’ll need to create an account on a Lemmy/Kbin server to get the proper Reddit experience.
I’ve found an app for Lemmy called “Memmy for Lemmy” which is pretty nice. It all works pretty smoothly, recommended.
Years ago, I installed my own #Mastodon server out of sheer technical curiosity. I abandoned it as soon as I found out it worked. Later, I became a #Twitter consumer, and the #Musk buyout made me create a second Mastodon account. Now there's a #redditmigration, and I found out that you can follow and interact with #Lemmy posts from within my Mastodon app. I find this incredible and love the #Fediverse!
Now I am curious whether #Matrix and #Nextcloud could similarly be integrated.

Meanwhile #RedditMigration is still happening and there are more groups added to the #Fediverse by the day. #Malaysia even has a #Lemmy instance & members are really happy to be there. i suspect this is repeated everywhere in the Fediverse right now.
Honestly, I suspected they would never change the #Reddit CEO's mind.
But they sure made themselves heard on the way out 😏
I predict that what will happen to #Reddit is the same thing that is happening to Twitter and has already happened to Facebook and frankly, actual shopping malls. The business side of things will churn along divorced from the content which will become ever more generic and culturally irrelevant.
What is incredibly exciting about #RedditMigration is the rate at which the #Fediverse is adding capacity. In the last few days, well established and very capable Mastodon server operators have been adding #kbin and #Lemmy instances.
