Original Documents
Original Documents (kbin link)

While journalism is certainly valuable for adding context and insight around news stories of the day, it's also important to have the documents being referred to at hand. This enables you to find bits that don't come up in reporting, and compare the reporting to what was actually written or said.

At present, my posts have been centered on the many high-profile trials going on in the US, as there tends to be both a large amount of documents and reporting thereon. But there is no intention to restrict content to that.

How come I can see the documents on Kbin but not on my home instance, Reddthat? I even enabled show bot accounts...still nothing though.

Not sure. I know that federation is still a bit iffy, generally. [email protected] was erroring out for me for a long time from kbin.social, I just happened to check today when I saw something hit my feed.

Edit: I know on kbin, there's a search function that might get you there, if it's an issue with the links I've included here? Something like that on your platform, maybe?

You need to inform your instance that such a community exists. Usually, it's enough to type the URL https://kbin.social/m/OriginalDocuments into the search bar while logged in on Reddthat.

The rules may be more established as time goes on, but it's important to have a foundation to work on.

1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world's rules, which can be found here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/[email protected])

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

[email protected]

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
