Right now it’s shouting over the fence to talk between Kbin and Lemmy, it’s a bit clunky and buggy. Hopefully that fence can over time lower and be completely removed as the code gets better and better. Looking forward to having a great time with you guys!
True, but a lot works well. I can browse subs through the front page or sub really easily on KBin. I’m not a fan of how every federated sub says owned by @ernest though.
I’m also hoping it becomes clearer soon where a post is located. Currently kbin just says the short community name (without the domain) and for self posts (“articles”), it says the link is on whatever domain you’re currently on (eg, kbin.social). That’s like how Reddit self posts did it and it’s technically correct since you’re viewing the post on the current site, but it’s misleading and confusing given that the original post is on a different instance.
I’m still learning the ropes. I agree a lot works well, but I’m always happy for things to become easier and more accessible. I love the idea that as people find their different niches across platforms and servers that work well for them, it’s still possible to maintain that connectivity.
Honestly, I have found Kbin to be a really solid experience. I think it pulls off a lot. so when I say I’m always happy for things to improve, I really just mean I’m happy for them to grow into themselves. :)
I’m still confused how this works. I can barely tell the difference between what comes from lemmy vs kbin. It seems like its all just mixed together in my feed. Does it only matter if I try to post or comment on something from lemmy?
Also, is there a way to subscribe or unsubscribe from other things in the fediverse? Or is it all just automatically linked at the instance level and I don’t do anything at the account level?

I keep posting this everywhere, but the Kbin enhancement script has an option to fix that.

Absolutely want things to improve and such. Ernest is crazy the work he does.

In general, no, it makes no difference. You can subscribe and block subs identically to local subs.
