I haven't fully tested this hypothesis, but it's based on what I do know.

I believe that when a comment/reply is federated before the main OP thread/article, it "looks at what it's a reply to" and tries to fetch the "parent" thread. But (and I haven't verified so I'm not certain yet), when it fetches the parent Thread, I don't believe that contains the "group/(magazine)" information, just the "thread content/post" part. It's because magazines are not the author of the Article/Thread, the user account is and so a reply would be to content that the OP account created without reference to the Magazine.

When new content is federated and pushed out at creation time, that does have the associated Magazine information, even though the author is still the user account that created the Article/Thread/Link, etc.

@RainbowsAre they protected by any kind of bot protections? If so that could interfere.

@Rainbows

There seems to be some intermittent federation issues at times it seems. You could raise an issue and see if someone can check the kbin.social server side.

@Brome

If your Calckey instance has Authorized Fetch/Secure Fetch enabled, this might prevent pulling, but I haven't tested that exact scenario yet.

@Brome

EDIT: I believe actually it's because the thread is of type Link. Did you create it as type "Link?" If so, try recreating it as type "Thread."

@Brome

I edited my reply, but I believe it's because the type is a Link, not a Thread. Can you try recreating the thread but as type "Thread?"

@Brome

You're welcome! Sort of. In general, Calckey and others (Mastodon as well) don't handle non-Note-type data very robustly. Those are used a lot with groups and Calckey doesn't really understand groups very well. It's know and it's on the road map, but I don't think this one example is a high priority at the moment (Link-type threads)

@Pixelologist

I haven't seen one yet, but that doesn't mean there isn't one hiding out there.

I also know that not as many of the Twitch streaming group has made the jump to the Fediverse due to reach, existing audiences on Twitter or Instagram because posts only show up chronologically to direct followers.

With that said, while Lemmy and Kbin are great for what they do, perhaps something more like a Calckey instance would be helpful since it allows for more ways to keep and organize information you want to refer to. I use it a lot and the ability to keep information together as well as find new information as it passes my way for something like Streaming has been more valuable and useful for me.

I'll let the head dev for Calckey describe it:

Good luck either way!

@HamSwagwich

This is a result of the original design. Kbin, up until just before the peak traffic hit, was using boosts as upvotes and favorites/likes were just below the post/thread (where boost sits now). Lemmy does it the way it is now (likes = upvotes) so Ernest changed it to match Lemmy behavior. But just as he changed it, he hadn’t changed the calculation for reputation to match when the server nearly melted down and he has to spend all his time just trying to keep the site alive by himself.

@Valhaitham

I just searched for your magazine from fedia and it showed up right away.

I used @ magazine @kbin.social (no spaces) in the main site search box.

The same for Calckey.
Make sure you add the leading @ before the magazine name and domain.

@Noki

I actually did testing on that and you can see what I wrote in this FAQ under the question what happens when someone follows a kbin magazine from a non-kbin platform. It’s the part labeled

@Jerry

I see a lot of magazines on your instance now.

dannekrose, 10 months ago

@peroleu

This is a great question and certainly confusing for those not used to the federation aspect.

A quick explanation:

If the magazine has a domain name at the end of it that isn’t the same as your kbin account, then it means that the magazine’s “home” is on a different instance.

Example:

technology@fedia.io

That means that all the instances (servers) will push content and updates to the “home” instance and receive updates and content from the “home” instance.

When an instance (server) subscribes for the first time to a magazine on a different instance, it will start to receive new content from that moment forward. However, older content isn’t pushed out to the newly subscribing instance. You can think of it as subscribing to a newsletter or something. You won’t automatically be sent copies of all the older content but you will get new things moving forward.

You can have older content show up by manually entering the direct link to the older content into the search bar on your home instance (in this case kbin.social) but it’s a manual process.

That why the message shows up about “may not be complete” since it doesn’t know how much total content there is on the remote instance.

This topic (called “backfilling posts/contents”) is one that has been discussed on the Fediverse for some time.

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568

Thank you for sharing. There needs to be a lot more for sure added to kbin.

As for the ideas, I haven’t searched for these yet, but you can see which ones have been submitted and which ones have code changes already waiting for review here:

The Pull Requests have some code changes waiting for review.

@kill

I’ll add my personal thoughts a little bit.

I think enabling both options in the Writing section to add the mentions automatically to anything you write might be helpful as well. As you can see here, this should show up as a mentioned notification which can help when sifting through notifications about new threads or posts. I understand why it’s not enabled by default but I’ve found it useful so far.

@Pegatron
I'll be the first to admit that I actually wasn't much of a Reddit user. What I do is turn on my notifications and then check for new comments in the notification menu. I'm not sure that will get you exactly what you want, but hopefully it will be a start.

If you haven't, notification settings are in the Settings menu you can see when you click on your user name in the top bar. It's in the first tab, General at the bottom.
