Vote if you like, but the primary reason I’m posting this is because this community has been linked as a reddit alternative in the post.
Welcome gamers! You do not need an account on kbin.social to post here. Pick any Kbin or Lemmy server (lemmygrad and lemmy.ml are not recommended), make an account, and type @guildwars2@kbin.social in the search bar to get here.
Consider subscribing to /c/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf as well if you’re able. There’s been some odd bugs getting their posts, hopefully that’s ironed out. These projects are still somewhat early in development, but have a promising future!
Also: consider searching #GuildWars2 to see even more discussion from the wider network. If you have any questions about federated social media, please ask them below :D
Nice of them to link here, it’s still a small community but that’s not always a bad thing, and neither is moving away from reddit as much as possible since things there are just going to get worse there. It’s still early tech but it works well most of the time and has really great potential, especially now that it gained popularity and additional developers/funding due to the reddit boost.
As for @guildwars2, I don’t think we’re able to connect to them at all for some reason. I can’t find them in the browser to subscribe to them, and their kbin page (https://kbin.social/m/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf) is 404-ing meaning it was never even synced (nobody ever subscribed to it).
It seems that federation between Lemmy and Kbin is broken again. For some reason, it is still possible to connect to communities that was connected before federation broke, but not newer communities:
Works
https://kbin.social/m/selfhosted@lemmy.world
Doesn’t work
https://kbin.social/m/xcode@lemmy.world
It is a bit different though, I can search for xcode@lemmy.world and actually find it: https://i.imgur.com/Pf7k3jO.png
Now that I’ve actually searched for it once the page you linked should actually start working too instead of throwing a 404.
This never happens with guildwars2@lemmy.wtf, search always returned nothing. It really looks like something specific between lemmy.wtf and kbin.social.
May this still be caused by the Cloudflare Challenge as pointed out in the following lemmy issue on GitHub or has this been solved already?
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3020
Would it matter when you are trying to reach lemmy.wtf from kbin.social? The Cloudflare Challenge shouldn’t do anything for outgoing from Kbin.social.
I use Cloudflare and Cloudflare Tunnel for lemmy.wtf as well, so maybe Cloudflare is blocking Kbin.social’s request?
Yes, I believe cloudflare blocks federation.
Only between kbin and Lemmy, but why?
I don’t know. Some people over in the kbinmeta group might have an answer for you. I just know that when kbin had cloudflare turned on we couldn’t communicate with anyone outside of kbin.
I am now able to find https://kbin.social/search?q=guildwars%40lemmy.wtf but not https://kbin.social/search?q=guildwars2%40lemmy.wtf
That makes zero sense…
