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?
1 is lemmy (sh.itjust.works) - i took a screenshot from the guy's profile page but yes they appear as if they were communities
2 is kbin microblog view
Yes, you're right. They actually also show up in the community list. The message from the microblog post is used as the post title, and the comments under it a comment thread. Well, that's good to know!
nice
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?
@Otome-chan
@projectmoon @god
And, weirdly, you post showed up in my Mastodon mentions!
Hurrah for federation!
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.
@Otome-chan hahaha! No worries, it's all good.
Fascinating to see that this actually works ๐
I've actually had quite a few interactions with mastodon users. It's very neat, since I could never get into mastodon itself, but kbin is super comfy.
I tried checking out EU Commission. I actually can see the mastodon user page here
https://lemm.ee/u/[email protected]
But it has no posts or comments. Meanwhile it's original mastodon page has plenty of posts.
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.
ahh i didn't know that
hey btw what ai did u use for ur pfp?
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 ๐ 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. ๐
nice. I've actually been working on an ai stt/tts chatbot. idk how to post vids on here but see my post on twitter. that vid is 100% ai and is the audio/visual portion of my chatbot.
I'm going to sleep right now. 11:41am. Very late. I'm adding a reminder to watch later.
amazing! :D
yup I'm pretty thrilled about it :)
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 [email protected] in search on lemmy for example, it can't find it.
That is supposedly fixed. I was able to find tech@kbin on lem.ee.
The same way that you search communities from other lemmy instances
The microblog isn't a community. It's a stream of Mastodon and other microblog (ie Calckey, Misskey, Akkoma, Plemora) posts.
