Edit: TIL it doesn't matter if you make your community on Lemmy or kbin, they're federated and will have equal exposure (kbin.social)

Thanks everyone for the help.

Original post: I want to create a niche community, but considering Lemmy can't see kbin magazines, wouldn't it make more sense to make the community on Lemmy, that way people from both Lemmy and kbin can be a part if it?

Maybe I should have posted this on a nostupidquestions community, I don't know.

There definitely seems to be something going on but I haven't found solid problem replication steps.

For example it may be because the instance the thread was posted on is lemmy.ml but I expected the thread here: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/163712/former-current-Twitter-users-what-do-you-do-on-there would still sync up with where the version of the thread where the OP is located https://lemmy.nz/post/314511 even if it the instance where the thread was posted (maybe?) doesn't federate with kbin.social: https://lemmy.ml/post/1868037

It's possible my mental model of fediverse working is just still very basic and thread instance is the ultimate arbiter?

Yeah that doesn't look like it's federation correctly. I'll raise it again with some of the other devs, maybe one of them will know. Pretty annoying ;(
