This “You Should Know” post is top of ~June, for good reason. This post announced the kbin.social Federation/compatibility with Lemmy.

A huge amount of test-posts from a wide-variety of instances came in to test the new federation abilities (including from kbin.social, one of the biggest kbin communities).

I think this post shows the hope that over the long-term, we can get federation across the larger fediverse. I don’t know if Mastodon is in the works, but these kinds of posts give hope.

    404: couldnt_find_community

    Probably because I’m from a small instance and none of my fellow lemmings has discovered it yet. Though even for big instances, someone has to be the first. So how to discover magazines?

      I finally remember where I heard of this problem.

      https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities

      A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

      I did do a search over on your instance lemmy.click, but it didn’t work either. Very curious. I’m going to have to research how smaller communities import kbin.social magazines more reliably. Its probably less of an issue on Lemmy.world because we’re bigger and someone else did the right process already (whatever… that process was).

      They’re “magazines” at kbin, so:

      https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

      for example.

      I don’t think there’s a “science” magazine at kbin, which is fine. Also of note, the magazine name is currently case sensitive, but I know it’s on the list of improvements to make that case insensitive.
