#Kbin update:
- The https://kbin.social server is now federating with the Fediverse. You can follow/interact with kbin.social magazines & users from other Kbin servers, Mastodon & rest of the Fediverse. For example the TIL magazine is at @TodayILearned, the lead dev of Kbin is at @ernest
- There's a new Kbin server at https://readit.buzz which is run by the same people as the Universodon.com Mastodon server. It's open for signups, just click "log in" and then "register".
p.s. If you are browsing a magazine, thread or account from Kbin (or anywhere else on the Fediverse!) and you want to interact with it somewhere else on the Fediverse but you can't find it by searching, here's how to make your server notice it:
1. Go to Kbin in your web browser
2. Copy the web address of what you want to interact with
3. Paste that address into the search box on Mastodon (or any other Fediverse server type)
It will then appear on your own server where you can interact with it.
@feditips This is *exactly* what makes this a not-very-user-friendly social media experience for anyone who wants to interact with more than one self-contained community…
The procedure in my post is only for use if your server hasn't yet noticed an account, thread or group. It's meant as a last resort rather than first resort. It's mainly useful for groups or accounts that are very new and haven't been noticed by many servers yet.
Servers cannot instantly notice every post and every account from every other server, it would be horrifically expensive and drive the Fediverse into the hands of big tech:
Once a single person on your server has followed a person or group or shared a post, everyone on your server will be able to find it from searches. More info here: https://fedi.tips/which-posts-and-accounts-can-i-see-from-my-server/
