That makes sense, but why isn't kbin defederated then? I didn't need to do anything other than supply an email when signing up for kbin.

Would be pretty cool if magazines/communities could form hubs around their subject. You could subscribe to the hub, and remove/add communities in the hub from other instances. And the community on your instance would control what instances are included by default in your hub sub.
Is kbin a good place to set up shop? I don't really understand the advantages/disadvantages of different instances. I made an account on lemmy.world first, but I remade my account on kbin a few hours later because I like the kbin interface a little more.
Also, if there's no karma, what are the "reputation points" in my profile?
Is there an easy way to shift an account between instances? Or do you need to start from scratch with a new account on each instance?
on top of that, beehaw has recently defederated with two of the biggest instances, lemmy.world and shitjustworks, meaning that moderation will probably be able to keep up more again
Why did beehaw defederate from these two instances in particular?
Yeah! I don't know how the new interface handles it, or how phone apps handle it, but on old.reddit I still see my list of multireddits on the left side of my main feed when I'm logged in.
I was kind of envisioning multimagazines and hubs as being two different things, where hubs would be created and joined by magazine mods, and then users would subscribe to hubs by default, where multimagazines would be user created and specific to that user, but one system could maybe do both...
