    Indeed! That’s the beautiful thing about this whole decentralised magic. You can use the app (not just mobile app) that best suits you and your interests, and interact with anyone, anywhere.

    It’s wonderful honestly.

      it warms my heart to see so many people slowly figuring this out. This is what the internet was meant to be all along.

      Might be a dumb question, but I don’t see how I can interact with Kbin from Lemmy.

      If I search for communities, I can see ones from other instances but not any from Kbin.

        On kbin.social specifically, federation is currently broken. The server saw a lot of stress because of the influx of new users and the dev turned on the cloudflare check, so that instance won’t kneel down. That broke the federation, other instances cannot go through that check.

          Oh. That’s unfortunate. Why do they need cloud flare again? Are there other instances of Kbin?

            Cloudflare can protect against DDOS. In this instance the people are ddosing the server, although not intentionally. There are just a lot of people trying to open the site. So it’s not malicious but still an “attack”, which cloudflare’s service mitigates. In reddit it was called the “reddit hug of death”, when small sites kneeled down because a post got popular with their links in it.
