This “You Should Know” post is top of ~June, for good reason. This post announced the kbin.social Federation/compatibility with Lemmy.
A huge amount of test-posts from a wide-variety of instances came in to test the new federation abilities (including from kbin.social, one of the biggest kbin communities).
I think this post shows the hope that over the long-term, we can get federation across the larger fediverse. I don’t know if Mastodon is in the works, but these kinds of posts give hope.
I thought kbin was already federated and compatible with lemmy?
It was, and then it wasn’t as the admin had to enable Cloudflare DDOS protection during the Reddit surge. This broke federation, but it’s back off now and Kbin’s back in the fold.
This happened almost a week ago. So we have been federating for a bit now.
I‘ve been commenting and upvoting stuff on lemmy all day long from kbin, no idea how that would be possible if they weren‘t federated.
Federation was turned back on well before this was posted. Like probably a day or two or three ago.
It was federating last week. So this post is just a few days late lol.
Yep it federated before the influx, and cloudflare was only temporarily in place until early last week when federation kicked in again. So this would be news to people who joined like Monday and haven’t been here much.
Hmm, good to know. I admit that I’m still relatively new to Lemmy and the Fediverse, so maybe I’m getting my facts wrong.
