Hello everyone =) Hope you’re doing well? Anything you want to share about your writing? Your drawing? Maybe something you’ve read since the last round-up? Any plan for this weekend?

(For Federation Science, I’ll post my answers below with my mastodon account ^^)

    (Science reporting in: it doesn’t work. This is what I wrote on mastodon:

    Science team reporting in! (No fandom in this post, sorry.)

    I’m following this magazine from my mastodon account. When I look up the magazine profile, it shows that I’m following, but it doesn’t appear in my follow list. The posts don’t make it to my home feed.

    A kbin post is displayed on mastodon as its title and a link to the full post (on the instance of the poster, not the instance hosting the community). No picture is included (I tested with other posts ^^).

    An answer to a post is fully displayed, though. But it doesn’t show before you’ve searched for it by specific URL, which doesn’t display more than a link. Yeah it’s confusing. I’m confused.

    I can answer from mastodon once I’ve dug up the post, though.

    And… yeah I can answer alright, except said answer is only visible on mastodon, not here (I even tried searching by URL, I can’t see it at all). Someone mentioned it might be an incompatibility with the authorized fetch setting on mastodon, but I just have no clue.

    Science team, out.)

      Yeah, I’m not always getting an alert from here either. And I’m running the place! I had to check the magazine myself, because nothing told me this had been posted and I was going to post a roundup thread. I still don’t get how this all works. I should look into it more, but it sure it taking a lot of spoons. (°ー°〃)

        I discussed it on mastodon with someone a bit more experienced with kbin than I am, and apparently it’s a known problem that mastodon and kbin/lemmy do not play well together yet, but people hope that it’ll get better because kbin and lemmy are still young compared to mastodon so of course they have less working features.

        They fact that different instances of kbin and/or lemmy are also having a hard time synchronizing posts is still puzzling though. I know sometimes I need to comment on a post I make to have it appear on kbin, but I don’t know why these posts and why it works…
