Just try kbin.social instead. I much prefer it currently vs lemmy's frontend.

I’m confused; isn’t this kbin.social?
You're reading this on kbin.social but if you look at your address bar it'll say m/main@sh.itjust.works which means its an sh.itjust.works instance.
You are probably viewing a post from itjustworks on kbin.
The url from kbin is https://kbin.social/m/main@sh.itjust.works/t/37881/Unhappy-with-Lemmy
So it's federated, you just have to check the url. It's already confused me once - something kbin could improve on.
@Jitzilla Others have mentioned how to tell that this post is federated from elsewhere to kbin. The question of why you are seeing it here on kbin is another thing... I think it's because you were likely on the home page of kbin with the filter set to "all" so that you are effectively seeing a stream of content from anywhere in the fediverse — sort of like being on r/all. i.e. no one specifically reposted it here. It just, idk, had enough traffic to show up high enough for you to come across it.
The #federated posts show up in your feed like they're supposed to. Hover over the post's author @darkstar and you will see where he posted from.

I was also really unhappy with it. Then I tried kbin.social. It's not a lemmy instance, but also uses the fediverse so you can still see and interact with posts from other lemmy instances.
The fediverse thing makes me feel like I'm in the dust. I thought Kbin was its own federated thing, separate from Lemmy. Like there are decentralized federated Kbin nodes as its own thing, and decentralized Lemmy nodes as its own thing. But Lemmy and Kbin intermingle?
I feel like I need something like that old UK/GreatBritain/British Isles infographic, but for Kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon, and whatever else springs up.
It's less of a "UK/GreatBritain/British Isles" thing and more of a "You can have gmail/hotmail/outlook/etc and all have 'email'" kind of thing.
All of them are speaking the same language/protocol so they all talk to each other even if they do things differently
Mastodon is probably the most different since it's trying to be Twitter which is a very different "thing" than Reddit.
Running any kind of social network / website (or whatever you call it) is messy.
Content, traffic, servers and users - everyone knows the best.
So I respect anyone who runs any instance and I don't mind bugs etc. Twitter, FB, reddit they were also buggy and full of backend mess.
So just don't be upset because of bugs. Take it like a price for freedom for tech corp(s).
OT: I'm paying for own email, vpn and others stuff every month so big techs have minimum info about me ... I also have 6 browser and every single of them is for something.
It's been three days since I've been unable to log in to a Lemmy.world account I also opened along with this Kbin one. I get the prompt, fill the username / password, click the button... and it spins and spins and keeps on spinning, nothing happens.
Did I get banned? Is it a bug? Some snafu on my end?
Kbin has been much more stable and usable so far.
I'm having the same issue. :/
Out of curiosity:
- What did you use to create an account?
- What did you use to try and log in?
In both cases with me, it's Brave browser on iPad.
EDIT: Just noticed I can log in to Lemmy.world with the Mlem app, so it's not a ban, it's definitely a glitch.
I've had issues with logging into both sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world using Firefox Mobile. Chrome mobile seems to work.
