Just learned that kbin magazines federate pretty well on Lemmy just by adding an @kbin.social at the end.

Example URL: https://beehaw.org/c/thegoldengator@kbin.social

That is only one way though. KBin to Lemmy doesn’t retain the /c/ community name as /m/ currently. Instead posts end up in /m/random/. This will probably be fixed in the future.

Together with emotes they’re really great for larger communities since they also allow sorting by flair.

For us over at /r/thegoldengator allows posters to pick one for each streamer or focus, if the post is

• artwork
• video
• photo
• clip
• highlighting a specific character

For smaller communities though they’re probably redundant.

Maybe this is not how it works at all and it’s better to host your own instance?

Sorry if this is a noob question but can only admins open communities?

Like for example if I wanted to create and moderate the following:

• /c/thegoldengator (like /r/thegoldengator)
• /c/twitch (like /r/twitch)

I would apply to do so somehow? Trying to figure out the user interface but maybe it’s limited because I’m on mobile.

Thanks
