Don't forget us kbin users too! We're all in the same boat now

[–] UsualMap@fedia.io 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Indeed! That's the beautiful thing about this whole decentralised magic. You can use the app (not just mobile app) that best suits you and your interests, and interact with anyone, anywhere.

It's wonderful honestly.

[–] azura@fedia.io 25 points 1 year ago

it warms my heart to see so many people slowly figuring this out. This is what the internet was meant to be all along.

[–] FermatsLastAccount@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Might be a dumb question, but I don't see how I can interact with Kbin from Lemmy.

If I search for communities, I can see ones from other instances but not any from Kbin.

[–] darius@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On kbin.social specifically, federation is currently broken. The server saw a lot of stress because of the influx of new users and the dev turned on the cloudflare check, so that instance won't kneel down. That broke the federation, other instances cannot go through that check.

[–] JackFromWisconsin@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh. That's unfortunate. Why do they need cloud flare again? Are there other instances of Kbin?

[–] darius@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cloudflare can protect against DDOS. In this instance the people are ddosing the server, although not intentionally. There are just a lot of people trying to open the site. So it's not malicious but still an "attack", which cloudflare's service mitigates. In reddit it was called the "reddit hug of death", when small sites kneeled down because a post got popular with their links in it.

And yes, there are, the second largest is fedia.io You can find more here:

[–] Generator@lemmy.pt 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah those numbers aren't correct, just fedia.io have more than that https://fedia.io/stats
And here isn't correcteither https://the-federation.info/platform/184
If you add the users from other instances will more than that.

Also when subreddits return public many users will go back to reddit

[–] lp0101@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

kbin.social still isn't federating, right? I wasn't able to access communities @kbin.social from Lemmy

[–] sorenant@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thus I propose we rise an army to incorporate kbin into our glorious federation.
