I want to check out KBin, but it literally the whole 1st page, the top 25 posts, were all from Lemmy communities.

Seems like KBin is almost just a front-end for lemmy now :(

    You totally can view Kbin content. Make sure you’re on the “Subscriptions” feed and not the “All” feed.

    Additionally, on the sidebar you can go to settings and turn federation off. That’ll only show stuff local to Kbin.

      Well, it’ll only show stuff on your local kbin instance, but it will also exclude stuff from other kbin instances, just as it does other lemmy instances.

        This is accurate! In practice it probably doesn’t make much difference yet, as there are significantly fewer active instances for Kbin compared to Lemmy as a whole.

      True, but I was more speaking on the ability for the API to create new threads, comments, or magazines. This would definitely accelerate the adoption of the platform, not to mention open up the gates for more mobile applications to be developed. IMO that is one of the main things holding everyone back from migrating to kbin given that most Reddit users were on mobile.
