Can you cross-post between magazines on Kbin? (kbin.social)
 

On lemmy.world, there is a button to initiate a cross post, but as far is I can tell, all it does is add the text "cross-posted from: <original post URL>" and put the original post body in a Markdown quotation environment (i.e. "> POST BODY"). This seems to be parsed by the UI and under some posts in Lemmy, it says "cross posted to: <community name>".

Would following the same formatting in Kbin accomplish the same effect?

Interesting. So when I'm connecting to peers for downloading, these connections can be initiated in both ways? And since I'm not currently port-forwarding, this means I can only actively find peers, rather than passively accepting incoming connections?

I see, thanks for clarifying! Even without port-forwarding, I'm able to make some connections. Is there just a more limited set of destination IPs I'm able to connect to? What dictates whether or not I'm able to connect?

Huh, I've been using a VPN for torrent without setting up any kind of port forwarding! Can someone explain why you might want to do this?
