#Kbin update:
- The https://kbin.social server is now federating with the Fediverse. You can follow/interact with kbin.social magazines & users from other Kbin servers, Mastodon & rest of the Fediverse. For example the TIL magazine is at @TodayILearned, the lead dev of Kbin is at @ernest
- There’s a new Kbin server at https://readit.buzz which is run by the same people as the Universodon.com Mastodon server. It’s open for signups, just click “log in” and then “register”.
@feditips Hey, due to recent spam campaigns, untested features, and the lack possibility of quick fixes on the new infrastructure, the federation has been temporarily restricted. The federated instances are currently limited to kbin<->kbin and kbin<->lemmy. I didn’t want to add extra work for other admins on platforms where groups are not well-supported. After the planned update at the end of September, groups will also be restored for other platforms, including Mastodon.

Thank you for the info, that makes sense! 🙏
Good luck with the development on the update 👍
@ernest @feditips
Oh, thank you, guys. That’s a relief! 😅
@ernest Will past microblog posts be federated automatically or we’ll need to post again to appear on Kbin?
@vintprox @vintprox But wait… in essence, Mastodon posts should indeed appear on the microblog in the appropriate magazine (e.g. https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/microblog/newest). The condition is that someone from the kbin instance must be following your account (in the case of tagging). The limitation goes the other way (posts from kbin are not visible in Mastodon groups). Could you please provide links to the posts you’re referring to? I will try to verify this today.

Right, so, I have this issue where even if I follow magazine’s group from Mastodon, it does not necessarily trigger anything on Kbin to make the Mastodon post appear in Microblog section.
Here is my magazine: https://kbin.melroy.org/m/drbboard/microblog/newest
