It's shocking how few users you really need to have a great community, and how quickly it stops mattering what other platforms are doing when you have that.

[–] mabd@kbin.social 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Exactly. On reddit I'd probably type out this comment, see that the post is X hours old or see that there are already 5000 replies and think "meh, no one will see this anyway. Best case scenario I get an upvote or two". But here I feel like I'm part of a conversation and actually contributing something.

One of the many strengths of federation - You get access to all the content a big community has, but the instances mean you still get the small community feeling

[–] mabd@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yep! Kinda surreal to see that something like this is even possible since it seems like a contradiction.

Good reminder to keep those coffees flowing for ernest: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin

It makes no sense to show beehaw in that, they federated from the rest, they are just a forum and not part of any threadiverse.

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Beehaw's still federated with several instances. Just not lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

They're federated with kbin.social, at least as of an hour ago.

[–] quaddo@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dumb question, but how were you able to determine that? Was it just a matter of seeing a post that originated from there (which would be my clumsy approach), or is there a tool/site that facilitates this?

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

The list of which sites they're actively federating with, and which they've actively blocked, is public (and is public on any Lemmy-based site): https://beehaw.org/instances

For the record: They're still still federating with kbin.social. And they're still federating with lemmy.ml. Most of the block list is made up of well known shit-disturbing Mastodon instances.

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Holy crap there are a lot of Lemmy instances.

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Those aren't necessarily Lemmy instances. Many of those are Mastodon instances, or Misskey sites. I see several Calckey sites. A major Friendica instance is listed there, too. And PixelFed sites!

[–] HamSwagwich@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Is there any list like that for Kbin?

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not that I've been able to find. @ernest would know, though.

[–] ernest@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Not yet, but it is in the roadmap.

[–] retronautickz@fedi196.gay 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Beehaw didn't defederate from everyone else, just from two instances. the threadiverse and the fediverse are much more bigger than these two servers.

[–] csolisr@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, in case we have to take a side, would you rather get banned from Beehaw, or from Lemmy World?

[–] retronautickz@fedi196.gay 5 points 1 year ago

You mean if the instance I'm in defederated from one of them?

Well, I have a Beehaw account, so even if this server and Beehaw defederated, I'll still have access to Beehaw-hosted content. Also, I tend to not participate in Beehaw communities from my kbin account.

I don't care much about Lemmy World, my kbin instance (this one, the one I'm registered in) federates with it, cool, but I wouldn't be angry if it didn't.

I wouldn't care either way.

But, there's no actual risk of Beehaw defederating from any Kbin instance nor did the admins cut federation completely. People are making this issue way bigger than it actually is.

[–] tool@r.rosettast0ned.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, their list of defederated instances is quite substantial.

[–] retronautickz@fedi196.gay 1 points 1 year ago

Most of these are alt-right/nazi and tankie instances/hubs/pods that are globally defederated and that they imported from a public list of "defederable servers".

The blocked and limited list of my mastodon server is way bigger than Beehaw's.
