Can I post to magazines on another kbin instance?
New to kbin. I’m trying to wrap my head around how federation works. If a community develops on a different server/instance than where I created my account, can I create threads and reply to others? Or just view? I read everywhere that federation allows following across different instances, but viewing content is different than participating in a community. If my account is on kbin.social can I create a thread or reply in a thread for a magazine that is in fedia.io?
AFAIK Yes you can but only if your instance has not defederated from that instance.
Yeah, it even works across software like me seeing this on lemmy. The trickiest part is if you are the first person to interact with a given magazine. You have to ”establish” the federation. Best way I can recommend is pasting the direct link into both the general kbin search and the magazine search a few times then you just have to wait a bit.
