@kbin kbin is constantly returning 50x and 404 errors to me for the last few weeks. It's literally unusable, even for browsing. What's going on? Is it just me? should I move on to a different instance?
@ShadowRam Same goes for Lemmy. 0.19 seems to have produced some issues with outgoing federation, While most instances seem to be in the process of fixing this, the outgoing federation queues are days behind the curve in some cases.
@ExpertPlus when logged in, go to https://kbin.social/settings/profile. Scroll down and you can change your username. There's no separate display name at this point.
@BeardedPip It's what links with Mastodon. If you go to a community's Microblog page, you'll see a bunch of posts that you can trace back to Mastodon. How it shows up in that community is because the community looks for certain #tags. If a Mastodon post has that #tag and the community is accepting it, then that post will show up in the Microblog for that community.

@SamXavia There was a "mag grab" or "magazine rush" during the great redxit of 2023. Lots of users came in to grab some big names there were red-equivalent. There have been a few requests to delete these mags so active users can take them over.

How to subscribe to magazines on a different instance.
Another user posted this in a thread with his blessing I am sharing it as it helps for people new to the fediverse
You go and browse the instance you want first. You don't have to create an account there, you can view everything, just can't post of comment without an account obviously.
Then, you look at the name of the community you want, in the form of /!something/ or it could be /@lemmy.world/ too.
You come back to kbin and type or paste that into the search bar without the exclamation mark but with an @ sign instead. so /!something/ sould be typed as /@something/ into kbin's search bar. The option to subscribe will appear in the search result.
You can use the same technique on mastodon to subscribe to kbin and lemmy accounts (and communities because technically they are accounts too). Just type or paste the /@something/ into the mastodon search bar.
Hey, thanks for this! I'd just like to add, for new users who may have still been confused by this from other fediverse sites (though it was super helpful and got me set on the right path!) If it's something from beehaw.org, such as
