And now it looks like a gas station bathroom!

Fish flavored fries? Yuck! No thanks!

The only exception is if one of the two servers has chosen not to federate with the other. In that case, you would want one on each account. However, that’s pretty rare as of right now.

Looks like it can be self-hosted. You should be able to install Docker and run it with the docker run command it shows (then go to localhost:8080). Here’s a link to it on GitHub: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

But isn’t Jupiter all gas?

Even though Lemmy and Kbin use two completely different software platforms, they are both based on a technology called ActivityPub. This allows different servers (instances) to talk to each other using a process known as Federation.

At the moment, Kbin is federating (meaning talking to other servers, including Lemmy), so you can view and interact with Kbin magazines from Lemmy. I am not sure how it works on Kbin, but for us Lemmy users, we copy paste the Kbin link into our search bar.

So no, you don’t really need to make separate accounts unless the instance (website) has blocked yours or vice versa.

I’m just happy to be on social media platforms that are compatible with each other, instead of having to argue with someone on which one they use. This is the future!

It works! This is the coolest thing I’ve seen so far! I had to use the actual link to the community though (I couldn’t use the exclamation mark syntax)

Does something special have to be done to get it to show up on Lemmy? I’ve put in a few of them into the search and they still don’t show up. Granted, we are still on 0.17.3

Don’t forget you can also follow communities on other instances too! If you put something like [email protected] into your search box (it can be buggy sometimes, give it a few minutes and retry). It should also already show up if someone else did that already.

Rocky Mountain Oysters! I cannot recommend it.

I’ve been looking networking/hosting types of communities. So far I’ve found [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]. Not sure about Judo but don’t forget you can always create a community!

Yeah! Apparently a PR was open a week ago but they just merged it in today.

Yup. Then it doesn’t hurt the asshole because they can just move to a different instance with like-minded people, which is not a problem because of blocking instances!

Looks like they just merged the change in a few hours ago. Unfortunately it wasn’t released in 0.17.4, so it’ll probably be in the next release either 0.18.0 or 0.17.5

I’ve created the issue. It looks like it only affects when a video is hosted on a different instance than the one you’re viewing on. Here’s a link to the issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1221

~~Thanks! I’m not sure if it’s because your instance is so new or not. Can you post it somewhere on your instance and I can check if it loads there? ~~ Edit: Disregard it looks like it does

I’ll be happy to file it. Can you reply with the original video again so I can point it out? I saw the error message.

Looks like it might be a bug. In Firefox, I’m seeing “No video with supported format and MIME type found” but if I right-click and open in a new tab, it works.

I have seen others explain it like email. Email accounts will still exist regardless of if, say, Gmail shuts down. Same with fediverse instances. Unlike traditional social medias like Facebook and Twitter, people can talk to people on other sites. Imagine if people on Twitter and Facebook could reply to each other
