This has probably already been asked before, but:
The magazines of kbin federate as Lemmy communities, but is the microblog section of a kbin magazine accessible via Lemmy?
You must log in or # to comment.
it’s not different from normal. seems microblogs are justs posts but viewed with a different UI?
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.
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.
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
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.
