They have decided to defederate with .world, so did kbin. They felt that too many new users were going to their communities and breaking their rules.
I thought kbin.social was temporarily not federating with anyone, as their cloudflare protection was blocking it
Yesterday kbin removed that restriction, and now they are fully federated with lemmy. But I don't know if all "magazines" (kbin communities) are fully synchronised, a couple I was following finished to synchronise only this morning.
Is there a kbin community finder similar to lemmys? Everytime I check kbin it seems it's just an interface to Lemmy..
@jsqribe@feedly.j-cloud.uk
https://browse.feddit.de works only for Lemmy's instances and communities, so if you want something more precise than your instance's search bar you should go to https://kbin.social/magazines and then copypaste the link to your instance (in your case feedly.j-cloud.uk ) search bar if you want to subscribe to it. In all cases, Kbin is different form Lemmy if seen from its own site, since they are trying to do a more comprehensive social platform, while instead Lemmy is just trying to be a link aggregator (The same typology of Reddit and of other now defunct sites). So, to summarise up, from lemmy you can see all the contents of kbin (which is a different software) but the "experience" is different from the one you have on the kbin site and thus, functionally, when using a lemmy instances kbin can be treated as another lemmy instance, even if it isn't.
Thanks @ElSapo@lemmy.world,
Have subscribed to a few "magazines" from kbin. They are showing as pending but assume it just needs to do some syncing on my instance.
I think where I went wrong before was trying this with kbin.run and not kbin.social as they had the CloudFlare protection at the time.
