Might it have something to do with the type of content?
I noticed, looking in your profile that KBin refers to your boston content as a 'thread' while lemmy calls such things posts.
There are 'posts' in kbin, so maybe you need to make a new 'post' on kbin.

Just guessing

Hi /kbin! I'm currently working on a small browser extension for /kbin users.

This extension helps users subscribed to Lemmy communities by adding an icon before mentions or URLs related to other communities. These mentions can be in the format "!communityname" or through URLs like "https://lemmy.ml/c/memes"....

I don't know how often it'll be useful. But in poking around on kbin for the past couple of days I've already had a few instances where I would have liked to have this.

I’m a fan of the kbin application, so I think I’d vote for that, and advocate for a foss/diy-tech focused instance

Are you saying to leave the community on lemmy.ml and just self-host lemmy instances to interact with lemmy.ml?

TIL that a 2019 Union College study found that joining a fraternity in college lowered a student’s GPA by 0.25 points, but also increased their future income by 36%. (papers.ssrn.com)

We exploit changes in the residential and social environment on campus to identify the economic and academic consequences of fraternity membership at a small No

Its not about what you know, but who you know.

Test of a post made from https://kbin.social/microblog

For everyone new to Lemmy, how are you finding the experience?

I wanted to get a pulse check on how new members are finding the general experience/website. Is it more confusing than Reddit or are you finding the instance system a better way of doing things as it can give you more freedom of where you choose to create an account?...

So, I think Kbin and Lemmy are separate pieces of software operating on the fediverse. But since they speak the same language you can interact cross platform. Interestingly, seems that kbin supports even more fediverse platforms than lemmy. I've been able to use kbin to follow mastadon users.

Is there a way to follow a mastadon user via lemmy?

I think I’m gonna use kbin, seems more featureful, including good integration with the fediverse.

wow the CEO AMA is a PR disaster. He is avoiding most of the questions, not mentioning the upcoming moderator protest, and completely refusing to take any responsibility or budge down on their controversial decisions.

I love Reddit and don't want to see it die but unless their leadership changes course... it's going straight into the internet graveyard.

Did you see that the backlash to Netflix's password policy is that their subscriber numbers increased?
Reddit will be fine. Unfortunately.

People need their fix. /shrug

That's why I'm here, trying to get my reddit fix.

Can anybody see this?

Just testing from mastodon to see if my shriveled brain can understand how this works.

@fox

I can see it on kbin.social when browsing asklemmy@lemmy.ml, it displays on the "microblog' tab.
I think kbin works for this better than lemmy.

@Starfish

Appears that microblog is referring to mastodon content (twitter-like fediverse program). kbin seems to put relevant (unknown mechanism) mastodon content under the microblog tab of a "magazine" (subreddit analog)

Reply from kbin.social

interesting seeing the way kbin-"magazines" are @'d here, I guess that's how they end up in the 'microblog' section of "@test"

Fediverse is weird, gonna take a minute to wrap my head around.

@fox

Also, I can see this at https://lemmy.ml/post/1167451

where its a reddit-style post with the title "@asklemmy". While on kbin.social it appears more like a twitter post, no title.

Testing

This post should show up on multiple groups at once.

Doesn't appeared to have worked.
I too am poking at this all to see how it works.
