Hey everyone. I’m new to all this - as are most people I realize - but I’ve been really enjoying Lemmy so far. I’m subscribed to alternatives here of subreddits I frequented on Reddit and been participating in discussions and engaging with the communities as well. Overall, it’s been good!

That said I’ve recently learned of another federated community style site (I think?) known as kbin (with other instances available. I’d like to subscribe to communities on this platform as well but I’m unsure if these are able to interface with each other.

For example: I learned of the kbin community for Disneyland. I followed a similar process to subscribing to other instances of Lemmy on my lemmy.ca account (pasting into the search bar) and was able to find and subscribe to the Disneyland community, however there are currently no posts there (compared to the community on kbin with multiple posts already) leading me to think something may have gone awry or the two platforms are unable to interface with each other.

Any and all help is appreciated if something like this is possible. I’ve heard kbin can work with lemmy, but perhaps not the other way around? Let me know and thank you.

    It should federate with all instances. I’ve heard of a lemmy bug around pending subscriptions, but I don’t remember if it was kbin specific.

    Also strange, I cannot see mbryson’s replies in this thread despite getting notifications and the comment counter going up.
