This has probably already been asked before, but:

The magazines of kbin federate as Lemmy communities, but is the microblog section of a kbin magazine accessible via Lemmy?

    it’s not different from normal. seems microblogs are justs posts but viewed with a different UI?

      kbin makes a distinction but lemmy and mastodon do not. mastodon sees everything as a microblog, and lemmy sees everything as a thread. but kbin splits them appropriately. Though this has got me wondering about non-kbin microblogs that get pulled into our magazines, and how they’re seen by lemmy users…

        I am not sure if Lemmy -> Mastodon integration is even working properly at the moment. I find a lot of information about Mastodon -> Lemmy, but not so much the other way around. I tried pasting a user into Lemmy’s URL as a u/username, but it didn’t work.

          Mastodon -> kbin and kbin -> mastodon is clearly working as I’ve had some nice chats with mastodon people. as for lemmy… I don’t know how y’all would pull in mastodon posts. I’d recommend checking out @random as that gets a lot of mastodon posts over here on kbin.

            Assuming it’s working at all, the most obvious way to do it would be similar to Reddit’s ability for users to post to their profile as a ‘subreddit’, and allow Lemmy users to follow individual users. Following users was apparently implemented on Lemmy (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/752), but I cannot find how to do that in the UI at all. Maybe it’s not yet exposed in the frontend.

              See here. you can see this mastodon user’s post (which to them looks like a regular tweet on twitter does) ends up in our random microblogs section.

              We can also view their profile directly as well as follow them to have their posts appear in our microblogs (as well as threads if they go out of their way to make one).

              It seems kbin microblogs appear as threads/comments to you on lemmy. so I have to imagine mastodon posts might be similar?

                Well, for example, that profile gives a 404 on lemm.ee, and also lemmy.world 🤔. So I’m guessing it’s just not fully implemented yet.

                  I imagine it’s like communities and they’ll 404 unless someone from that instance has already searched for them at least once.

                  omg I’m so sorry for pinging you so often. You just happened to be the first one to pop up in the feed haha. I didn’t realize it’d ping you.

              interesting. it might just be a “it’s not synced yet” situation? a lemmy user might need to follow the person before their posts start showing up.

                There’s no option to follow users on lemmy instances.

          my pfp was generated using stable diffusion. I think this particular pic I was using the anythingv3 model.

            :) nice ty, I haven’t tested the anything models yet.

            On that topic, nowadays I usually use AI pics for all my stuff. All my avatars are AI and the pics and banners on my accounts and communities (magazines) are also AI. I love AI.

            Here’s the pfp for my lemmy Chinese book club 😁 I love it

            A friend told me he could find me a server instance where images are done in 2-4 seconds. I’m really looking forward to that. 😎

      Both of those screenshots are from kbin right?

      Hmm, so they appear as user posts. But would they show up in the corresponding Lemmy community page?

    I read somewhere that at the moment kbin has cloudflare activated and because of that their communities can’t be found on Lemmy or Mastodon. When I put !tech@kbin.social in search on lemmy for example, it can’t find it.

      The microblog isn’t a community. It’s a stream of Mastodon and other microblog (ie Calckey, Misskey, Akkoma, Plemora) posts.
