alex,

Yes, I would call it a bug. If it's the first time your instance 'sees' that community, only new posts will be federated.

It does not know about older posts, not even older pinned posts that may be important.

Canada Bread (the maker of numerous brands of baked goods, including Dempster's, Stonemill, Vachon and others) agrees to $50M fine for their role in bread price-fixing scandal. The company admits that under previous ownership, it worked with rivals to raise prices.

    I just found another place called Squabbles which seems like a mix of twitter and reddit, with posts and communities but threaded like twitter for its discussions. Is it part of the fediverse? or is it its own thing?

    It seems to be its own entity.

    I admit. On the 12th as a mod I was just gonna go till the 14th u/spez after that the leaks started coming out and realized the CEO of reddit doesn't care about us period. I created a lemmy account cause I didn't know what the fediveese was and a mastodon account and was basically trying to get away from reddit but I admit I do miss reddit.

    In comes kbin I've been on for a good day on the web app cause I use my phone 99% of the time and realized after trial and error and reading what a microblog and what a thread is and how to navigate this website. I have 2 subs on lemmy that I will keep for now but I think kbin is where it's at. This is truly a reddit replacement!

    Thanks devs

    You can always follow both - for example, I am posting this from my lemmy account. :)

    Yes, you should be able to plug that URL into your search bar (where you search for a community) and be able to subscribe to it.

    It might be a two-step process as it is on my instance:

    • Go to "Communities" (top menubar), plug URL into the search, get no result
    • go back to the search, type "chess" and one of those results should be from kbin.

    Geddit outta here.

    Geddit and forget it.

    alex,

    magic!

    alex,

    I did not know about that one. That one is arguably better.

    alex,

    Weirdest thing, eh?

    alex,

    Always fails. :P Anyway, I volunteer as tribute.
