Wait ... how is that link working?? kbin.social has been offline for months.

Edit: Ohhhh ... the name of the community at LW is "[email protected]" - now I see.

No, you're right the 1st time. It's eattherich, hosted at kbin. It's a weird side effect of federating. The original instance hosting the comm is gone, but all posts and comments go into the local instance first (in this case, Ozma's posts to .world) to be federated back to the main instance (kbin). Since kbin is gone, that federation ain't happening, and nobody from any other instance can view the content from their home instance. But you can directly view .world's local copy of what it thinks the instance should look like, which contains all of Ozma's contributions.

Ah, I wondered why nobody else was posting there! Thanks for the explanation.

This is super cool

I don’t think we’ve yet witnessed the full benefits of the distributed nature/federation.

Is it just me or is the sub empty

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

It's not just you. See my other comment for technical explanation.

Your instance needs to be instructed to fetch it.

E.g., by setting up a subscript' to the community, or viewing individual threads and comments.

The interesting thing here, as the other responder observed, is it's the local copy of a previously-federated community.

I would have assumed that the copies would be read-only from outside the actual instance. But it sounds like you're able to post to the copied-communities too. Lul.

That sounds like something I have no control over but the admins might

But I am full!
