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 11 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.
