Reddit threatens the mods of r/CyberpunkGame (the main subreddit for Cyberpunk 2077). Mods decide to go down in a blaze of glory, whole sub agrees. (old.reddit.com)

Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn't go as they'd hoped.

The mod team have basically decided that "Fuck Reddit" is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.

Presumably, we're about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p

Thanks!

A couple of questions if its not too much bother. Looking at OP link:

https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/144077

  1. How to know if the instance is defederated?

Also when clicking, I land in kbin (duh), which of course does not know my login credentials, therefore I am not able to comment. So:

  1. How to access the post from Lemmy?

The direct links to the kbin instance aren't really handled properly across federation yet but kbin.social is not de-federated from Lemmy.world

I'm not sure if you're accessing Lemmy from a web browser or an app but if you search for "redditmigration", for example, (from your home Lemmy instance) you should see the corresponding kbin.social "magazine" (essentially equivalent to a Lemmy "community") and be able to click into it and interact with the topic you linked...

I believe this would be the one for that specific topic for users registered on Lemmy.world

The way federation works is that the content (to include comments and votes) is regularly copied back and forth between federated instances so there's no need to have an account on whichever instance the content you want to interact with was originally created on.

The catch is that this copying back and forth doesn't happen automatically. It requires that at least one user seek out that "community" or "magazine" from their "home instance" and subscribe to it. Afterwards all of the posts, comments, and votes from that community or magazine on whatever federated instances will begin being synchronized between the two whenever changes occur.

So, you're essentially interacting with the copy on your home instance directly which is then synced to the instance where the content originated and the users on that instance can interact back with you in the same way from their home instance.

Hopefully that makes sense or someone else comes along to ELI5 it better.
