No prob! I’d actually recommend making an account on one of the kbin instances if you’re curious at all about it. It works a little differently and has some unique design goals which gives you a bit of a preview of how the fediverse might move forward into the future and beyond the web 2.0 that we all know. Interesting things are ahead, it seems :).

Kbin.social is (at least since I last checked like 30 minutes ago) federating, they removed the cloudflare ddos protection that was making federation impossible a few days ago. If you take a look at the kbin’s all page you’ll see plenty of material federating from lemmy.world and us over here on beehaw. You should be able to just search for kbin magazines with the regular Lemmy search, but I’ve found that to be inconsistent.

Haha, I just had this problem, and weirdly the solution was to search for the owner of the kbin magazine, navigate to their post history and find the magazine/community that way. A bit clunky 😅.

Unfortunately I think it’d be complicated as far as moderation goes, because posts would have to be moderated across instances by different mods.

Haha, it’s interesting, I started grad school with a different project (more about noise, improvisation, and politics) and just kind of fell into it because of the way that some of my writing in various classes progressed! That’s how grad school in the humanities goes often, your classes begin to mold your ideas differently.

I’m an ethnomusicologist! The diss is focused on experimental music and sonic communities in Austin and their relation to the city’s transformation over the years.

Howdy from Austin, TX! Excited to be here. I have a love for strange sounds, and stranger places (virtual or not). Current projects include: trying to teach myself how to sketch in 10 minutes a day, writing my dissertation, learning Spanish, and playing go (I’m terrible).
