Comment on Prove it wrong: the fediverse is not as connected as we're told, and it's splintering even more now.
PlasticPigeon@lemmy.world 9 months agoThanks for the info, makes sense, went and read up some more on Mbin now, and strangely most of their instances are named under Kbin…
Tried to do a search on Lemmy and Kbin on a post from Beehaw, and it couldn’t find anything. So will have to check if Beehaw has blocked them or something.
It seems that Friendica (using it via the @phanpy@hachyderm.io 3rd part Mastodon app, that it can reach and comment on Beehaw just fine. Read somewhere on one of the replies on the post that Friendica / RSS might just be the best bet in interacting with most / everything in the fediverse.
So will be doing more tests on that.

Beehaw is a server which runs on Lemmy so I doubt they have Lemmy blocked -- maybe search is just broken. I'd be very surprised to see that any servers are blocking the names of other softwares or something; that's actually a perfect example of the type of user-hostile behavior that I think you'll see less of here as compared with Reddit / Facebook. Maybe with some political issues you might see something like that but to "defeat" some other type of software? I think basically never.
mbin is a quite recent fork of kbin; it's likely that some people have switched to mbin but still have their server name set to kbin from before, and don't want to change it.
And yeah, Friendica might be a really good option; I know nothing about it but as I understand it, it tries to talk to pretty much everything.
And you're welcome! Glad my info was useful.
