I wonder what changed. The login bug has been gone for me for a while now.

@Sam_uk, nice! Thanks. I was on an IP somewhere in the US (VPN). So maybe I got a different result today being on a different IP. At least I know what is going on at kbin.world now. It all makes sense :-)

@Sam_uk Thanks for making me take another look. When I go to https://kbin.world/ it forwards me to https://kbin.social/m/usnews@lemmy.world

So I guess it wasn’t bringing me to the lemmy domain, just to view the lemmy community through kbin.

Wow, whoever owns kbin.world forwarded it to lemmy.world. 😐

Good question. Not ignorant. The one thing we use all the time but never think of as federated is email. Multiple users from different providers can reply all and everyone gets a copy. That is one way to help think about how the fediverse works. People using kbin and Lemmy have replied in this thread. We all see it. we are just using different providers/software to read and reply in the fediverse.

Others have already commented well on funding.

Bang links work for users on Kbin.

If that is Lemmy creating the URL or kbin seeing the bang format and using it, I don’t know… off to find out :-)

edit: experimenting here !kbin
edit2: I think Lemmy is creating a regular link out of that. My bang above was not auto converted on kbin.

Definitely a clunky term. It will be interesting to see what the feds come up with. Lets see if that catches on :-D

Seriously, I’m sure something good will emerge.

These social media giants seem to be self destructing themselves on purpose.
