quick question but I’ve read that lemmy federates with both mastodon and peertube (I have checked and can find myself here: https://mastodon.social/@Scraft161@iusearchlinux.fyi but I am unable to see any users from mastodon or peertube.
Search failing on lemmy:
Same search on mastodon.social:
Is there something I’m doing wrong or has federation not been implemented both ways as of yet?
EDIT: minor formatting regarding images
Sorry, I don’t know. 😕 There is a Lemmy-like project called kbin which has that ability, from what I’ve read others say, but it’s not as mature as Lemmy (which still has several rough edges). I don’t speak from experience though – I haven’t checked it out yet.
I’ve looked at kbin, but things take a long time to federate through to it. it’s still early days for it (same for lemmy, but kbin doesn’t feel nearly as mature) and if I’m going to migrate to another fediverse platform it might as well be mastodon :/
Yeah, kbin.social has been getting slammed and they’ve had to increase server capacity to handle the load. I’m sure their federation issues will get sorted out.
it’d be real nice if federation just worked (I actually don’t know if I can see kbin magazines here on lemmy) so we’d actually be on the fediverse instead of in a bubble where people can see in and interact; but we can’t really see out.
Hey im on Kbin, can you see my comment?
yes; but this isn’t the part of federation that I’m talking about. Cross-platform commenting has been pretty well figured out by the fediverse community. What I am talking about is being able to see toots from mastodon, videos from peertube, posts (not comments) from kbin and being able to have that in a single feed here on Lemmy.
Ah i see, yeah I’m having issues seeing some mastodon users too on kbin. No idea how I’d even find peertube videos.
