I’ve made accounts on lemmy.ml, lemmy.ca, requested beehaw.org, and here, but probably going to stick with here for UI reasons plus I like the microblogs for things that don’t exactly warrant a post. The Mastodon integration is neat, but I doubt I’ll really use it since I never used Mastodon before.
Probably going to stick around here and Tildes (though that’s not the fediverse). Subscribed to a bunch of communities in the various lemmy instances before federation was took down for a bit, so hopefully one niche community grows there. Made one of my own for a relatively niche game I play (it’s a decently popular game, but it’s definitely niche).
What do you mean federation was taken down for Lemmy? I haven’t noticed that.
EDIT:
Also wanted to point out that you can sub and communicate and create posts on beehaw.org posts from your lemmy.ml or lemmy.ca accounts. It is clunky, but you just have to go to search page (top right) from your account’s home instance, change the type from ‘All’ to ‘Community’ and search for the remote community using their format for searching communities (i.e.: [email protected]). The search usually returns nothing on the first search if your instance updates it’s federated info with the remote instance or there are network errors. So just clear the search and try ‘technology’ and I have found that returns it.
KBins search function is a lot better. I have found a lot of other bugs on Lemmy, but you can work around them.
You can also sub to those lemmy communities from here. but that is a bit more in development than the lemmy to lemmy instance communication.
As part of the DDoS protection, kbin’s currently not federated as to not get more traffic from other places in the fediverse. I believe you can still see lemmy communities and subscribe to them, but there’s not really much there currently because kbin’s not federating.
I’m completely new to the whole fediverse thing though, so I could be talking out of my ass regarding why it’s not federating.

Pretty sure you just described the Mastodon integration! 😅

Ah I gotcha. That tracks with what I had been noticing I thought was a bug.

Oh damn, really? That’s funny. I thought the microblogs and Mastodon integration just shared the same area, but goes to show how much I know lmao.
I could be wrong! But I believe that’s what the microblog section is for. It’s pretty dang seamless!
Yeah, maybe even too seamless. But I like it still
