hun this is kbin not lemmygrad
went ahead and reported my own comment. hopefully that works.
@MxM111 not quite.
If it is a self-post, that is the post without link, then what I see its copy on /d/kbin.social as a copy of original post from lemmy.ml
this is always the case. however the "linked url" will say the same website you're on if it's a "self post". since self-posts (regardless of which community they're in) link to another kbin page, they get shown in /d/kbin.social
If, howerver, the original post on lemmy.ml was a link to some other site, for example to google.com, then I would not see this on /d/kbin.social, but on /d/lemmy.ml and /d/google.com
/d/lemmy.ml will show the earlier case as well (since it was in a lemmy.ml community). but yes /d/google.com would also show it I think since the linked url is google.
But in this case, what would I see in the brackets? (lemmy.ml) or (google.com)?
The brackets show where you go if you click the link. for self posts, you go to the thread here on kbin (if you're using kbin.social). for links, you go to the link.
"503 you broke kbin 🐈" I get it a lot tbh.
lol why even bother with a federated service if you wanna defederate from everyone and have particular strict moderation in a singular style? just go join a regular site at that point?
alternatively you can start your own instance if you feel the existing ones aren't federating in the way you'd like.
I've seen a ufo. was a pretty cool experience.
@MxM111 so this is what I was talking about earlier. what you've linked is the kbin.social website showing the community named "lemmy" that's hosted on lemmy.ml. it's what reddit calls a "self post" ie text content that doesn't link anywhere. here on kbin, when we look at that post, the "linked page" is to another kbin.social page. hence why the info in brackets is showing kbin.social (as that's the website you will visit upon clicking on that "link").
the bracketed info shows the url the link points to. and this url also gets pulled into the /d/ page.
so the post you shared will show up in:
/d/kbin.social (because the page linked is another kbin.social page)
/d/lemmy.ml (because it's a post in the lemmy@lemmy.ml community)
@MxM111 I don't think it's documented anywhere. but yes, /d/ is confusing because it's a few different things lumped together, and if you don't understand federation it can get confusing.
The simplest explanation might be /d/ is "stuff related to that domain name" lol. there's not much reason to use it IMO unless you want to block a particular instance.
As for readme/documentation, please keep in mind that kbin is very new, hardly a month old. so everything is still very WIP and under development.
@owenfromcanada the actual sites themselves are different so yeah. the way you log in and interact with them is probably different, despite their interconnectivity.
