If you have an account at one instance, you can see everything from all of the instances that are federated with that instance. If there is another instance that is not federated with the 1st instance, then you have to make an account there to see anything there

It started to click in my head today and then once all the defederation talk started I am confused again

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

It basically means that beehaw can't see any of our content, and we can't see any new content from them. The one nice thing is their mods did say they might reverse it in the future once things settle down hopefully.

I was like oh what the eeeffff is this noooow!?!?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I will stick to only one account. Too much accounts are pain.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I made an account on feddit.de and I'm not even German (learning to be, though)

I have no idea what’s going on myself honestly lol. I just made a Kbin account so I can see and comment on this thread even though it’s a thread that came from lemmy it looks like considering it states (lemmy.world). I’m confused why I’m seeing this thread. Was it shared to the Kbin server? And why can’t I comment and upvote posts on lemmy.one for example? Shouldn’t I be able to due to everything being connected in the fediverse?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

You're not the only one. I made a kbin account. I'm not going to make more accounts. I'll just browse and lurk until this all makes sense.

Or I'll just give up and head over to the Empornium forums. There's titties over there. Is there porn on here?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

The problem with porn is that these instances are hosted by individuals who don't want the risk or headache of having questionable content on their server that they may have to answer for when something illegal invariably pops up.

That said, lemmynsfw.com does exist and you can subscribe to content over there. My guess is more will happen over time.

Kbin is federated with a bunch of the lemmy servers as well. If you look at the address of the post it's kbin/m(agazine)/[email protected], so we're seeing a post from the LemmyWorld community (called magazines on kbin) on the lemmy server https://lemmy.world/

I promise it makes sense after a while lol

edit: the users of lemmy can also see what we say over here on kbin because kbin and lemmy talk to each other. This post lives on that lemmy instance

Personally. Attacked.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (10 children)

I still don't get it lmao

I made an account with kbin because the interface most resembles reddit, but apparently that means I have a lemmy account or something?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

You don't have a lemmy account, but kbin gets content from lemmy pushed to it. So you can subscribe to subs that are on Lemmy. That doesn't mean you can't sub to the kbin equivalent; in due time, both may have a memes sub. But if you prefer lemmy over the kbin, you can see and interact with that lemmy content from here on kbin. You don't need to be on Lemmy to do it, the instances are federated.

Likewise, say in the future a sports-only instance is created. It exists solely for sports headlines across all the leagues of the world. It is way better than content on kbin. If kbin federates with that group, you can see and interact with that content.

Say there is a group that doesn't meet your instances ideals. They like to be inflammatory and provocative because they can. Your instance can not federate with them, so you won't see that content when viewing the All section of your instance. Likewise, they won't be able to interact with content you post. This prevents brigading and intermingling of groups that would only argue and conflict.

You can enjoy all the content of any federated instance from whatever platform you want.

¿Confuso? No... más bien un mini reto descubrir nuevas posibilidades exponenciales. Simple.

Translation using ChatGPT: Confused? No...rather, it's a mini challenge to discover new exponential possibilities. Simple.
