So I just checked on lemmy.world and the comment is not removed there like it is here on kbin. yet, kbin is the hosting instance of the community. if kbin thinks it's removed, then surely that removal should be sent out to others who look at it?

I think it'd be nice to have a thing for communities/magazines to be discovered. I feel like there's way more people on lemmy, so our kbin magazines get ignored by a lot of lemmy people. is there a way to share it with them and make it more discoverable?

I don't see why the lemmy.ml version would affect a partizle.com comment on the kbin.social "true" version? sure, lemmy.ml can moderate their own comments, but another site's on another instance's group?

yes. so individual instances are like individual reddit.com websites. if one goes rogue/bad it can't control the others. likewise, people may prefer smaller instances where they have greater influence/control over the site (either by owning it, or being in closer contact with the admin, etc).

some instances may have rules, or defederate from other instances, that may not be liked, so you might want to switch to something more favorable. for instance, beehaw has strict moderation and defederated from lemmy.world. whereas kbin.social federates with everyone. if you make your own instance, you have control over this.

under the hood it's all "activitypub" and works identically. it's only the end-user gui that has things named differently.

so the main kbin homepage is "all" meaning, everything across the fediverse. that means we see content from lemmy.ml, sh.itjust.works, beehaw.org, lemmy.world, etc.

now, everyone can participate in each other's communities. for instance this community is nostupidquestions@lemmy.world. you and I are kbin.social users. our comments right now are being posted to lemmy.world. lemmy users can see such and respond to it.

m/main@sh.itjust.works is a community on sh.itjust.works. similar to how reddit.com/r/gaming is a community on reddit. however, we on kbin.social can also see and interact with that community. when we do so, people can see our username as coming from kbin.social, since that's what we're using.

tl;dr:

The site we are on is kbin.social. this is a website running the "kbin" software.

kbin can interact with other "fediverse" websites, such as lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works.

as a result, we see all their contents and users, and vice versa (noted with the @ url afterwards). the other users are not visiting kbin.social in their browser. If the account says lemmy.world they are going to the lemmy.world website, which can see kbin.social content just how we can see their content.

not sure if that's actually the case, but if it is... yikes.

yeah they'd have to be an admin of partizle.com yeah? or be a moderator of the kbin magazine? that's why it's odd. perhaps the lemmy.ml admins can moderate every lemmy instance?

Saidit is running on the old reddit code. Squabbles also exists.

no idea what their technical details are. afaik they use their own servers or whatever they use for hosting their site I imagine, since any standard filehost will take down copyrighted content.

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

that was what came to mind for me as well lol

naturally if you want to provide access to video files you need to host the video files somewhere. for big anime streaming sites, yes, they go through and upload each one. zoro and 9anime iirc have tools to automatically grab from other sites/hosts and reupload.
