Yes and this makes sense on the surface. Cat threads on one server should be merged with cats on another server, so that I get a whole cativerse subreddit equivalent.
But then what happens when you have ambiguous terms like Tomorrow? Or when one server changes the rules in protest (like r/pics right now)?
Don't want to hastily make decisions that could lead to awful user experiences.
We'll see all 10 communities as separate communities though. I'd love to have 10 separate communities and one browser site that treats those 10 communities like one singular cat community.
I keep thinking this would have been a much better sell to devs and to users. I have always used Sync, and Boost. I tried the official app a few times, but really only used it for the chat feature. I didn't want to pay for it, but (I am embarrassed to admit it) I would pay premium to keep my app. I think this would have worked...

X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and the Tie Fighter Expansion
The Tie Destroyer in the Tie Fighter expansion is my favorite ship out of all Star Wars. (The Squadron's Tie Destroyer is not nearly as good as you cannot fire all 6 lasers at once.)
Special shout out to Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, which X-Wing was based on.
I always thought it was a pretty smart idea on Reddit's side to have the posts and comments be automatically upvoted by their author, saving them the tough choice between playing fair or boosting their initial reach a little; and if you had particularly low self-esteem, this enabled you to reduce your own points by not one, but...
like on reddit, comments on posts from the OP have a [S]. Would be cool if we could get an indicator of who the OP is without having to check usernames etc.
It's very subtle and I didn't notice it until a little bit ago when I figured out why some posts had a thin green line and others had a thin dashed red line.
I would have liked to have seen the name of the poster highlighted, but that might be my Reddit Sync preferences shining through.
Hear me out, I know no one likes ads, probably one of the main reasons why people used 3rd party apps for reddit. I can't exactly donate to help kbin, however if there was a setting I could toggle to opt in viewing ads to support kbin and things like server costs, I'd do it, in hopes for improvement of the website....
I am a noob to the fediverse, so take that with a grain of salt.
From what I understand (from reading why the Mastodon migration failed), if a site encourages ads/subscriptions, there is an incentive from other fediverse sites to defederate that site. (We wouldn't be able to interact with other sites.) We're pseudo-defederated right now due to Cloudflare, but that is temporary.
The problem here is that despite these large and escalating costs, a significant part of the fediverse is intrinsically hostile to anything other than charity or goodwill as a basis for running a server, due to hostility to capitalism as an abstract or just on a general point of principle regarding how web services should be funded. Any instance that runs advertisements to its users is likely to be blocked by any others purely on those grounds. Some instances have tried to introduce subscription fees for joining, and been blocked as a result. Ownership by a corporate entity or accepting funding from one is also likely to wind up with a block.
So, in summary, while you may have a logical argument for ads and subs, there are enough fringe people out there with power over servers in the fediverse that disagree.
I understand the concept, but not the purpose. Why would I post something to a microblog when I can post a thread? Or I guess if I was more twitter-savvy, why would I create a thread when I can post something to a microblog?
If the magazine I'm in is /m/kbinMeta, how does the Mastodon etc. stuff get be collected in kbinMeta?
Magazine mods can associate hashtags with their magazine and then anything from the fediverse tagged with that ends up showing in that magazines microblog section. This is a great way to bring in a lot of content you can interact with even if it's not in the longform KBin/Lemmy format.
