Lemmy411 - Don't know where to find what you're looking for?

As with /r/411 this is where you ask what Community you're looking for but not finding. Perhaps a bit more helpful now that some communities are only found on certain instances.

Found/new community announcements - there are numerous "announcement type communities - see https://lemmy.ca/post/612532

There is also [email protected]

Before you request There are several resources available to find communities and resources and these have been pinned to the top.

Can Lemmy & Kbin interface with eachother? (lemmy.ca)

Hey everyone. I'm new to all this - as are most people I realize - but I've been really enjoying Lemmy so far. I'm subscribed to alternatives here of subreddits I frequented on Reddit and been participating in discussions and engaging with the communities as well. Overall, it's been good!

That said I've recently learned of another federated community style site (I think?) known as kbin (with other instances available. I'd like to subscribe to communities on this platform as well but I'm unsure if these are able to interface with each other.

For example: I learned of the kbin community for Disneyland. I followed a similar process to subscribing to other instances of Lemmy on my lemmy.ca account (pasting into the search bar) and was able to find and subscribe to the Disneyland community, however there are currently no posts there (compared to the community on kbin with multiple posts already) leading me to think something may have gone awry or the two platforms are unable to interface with each other.

Any and all help is appreciated if something like this is possible. I've heard kbin can work with lemmy, but perhaps not the other way around? Let me know and thank you.

Is kbin commonly open to federate with?

I tried to subscribe to some magazines from my own private lemmy instance, no errors are thrown in the log, but there is no activity following up. The subscription stays pending and no posts show up.

My guess would be that kbin.social is only talking with some bigger lemmy instances?

It should federate with all instances. I've heard of a lemmy bug around pending subscriptions, but I don't remember if it was kbin specific.

Also strange, I cannot see mbryson's replies in this thread despite getting notifications and the comment counter going up.

afaik kbin should be federating with everyone. I've seen some posts even from some niche mastodon instances like "veganism.social" haha. though federation here has definitely been wonky/slow/broken for the past few days and has only recently started working again.

kbin.social had federation break due to cloudflare
