Edit: TIL it doesn't matter if you make your community on Lemmy or kbin, they're federated and will have equal exposure (kbin.social)

Thanks everyone for the help.

Original post: I want to create a niche community, but considering Lemmy can't see kbin magazines, wouldn't it make more sense to make the community on Lemmy, that way people from both Lemmy and kbin can be a part if it?

Maybe I should have posted this on a nostupidquestions community, I don't know.

At what point do the other instances consider this federation in bad faith and defederate from .ml?

[-] VerifiablyMrWonka@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

A number of kbin instances already have. But not .social - which is obviously the largest instance.

Aggravatingly .ml users can browse and interact with kbin magazines just fine as we let them in. It's very much a bad faith thing at this point.

Noted and I'll make sure that my list is clear of .ml subs. Honestly, with the "not so much rumors as facts" information swirling around out there about the devs, I'll not be surprised if they're intentionally tanking (pun intended) any competition that isn't parroting their views.
