A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

One can follow Lemmy (and I presume Kbin, though that I have not tested myself) communities directly from any other fedi instance. For example, I am following [@technology](https://beehaw.org/c/techno (mstdn.social)

One can follow Lemmy (and I presume Kbin, though that I have not tested myself) communities directly from any other fedi instance. For example, I am following @technology directly from my account here.

Now that Lemmy/Kbin have become pretty active, this might be a decent way of getting new fedi users to have a better on-boarding experience.

Just suggest a few active communities to them, and bam, plenty of interesting stuff gets boosted into their timeline. 🤔

@rysiek what do you get from that feed? I only get a set of "boosts", that seem like they're comments to the articles themselves? Not sure I'm getting any of the articles. I've also tried following a couple of other channels/magazines/"groups"? on beehaw.org, and they're all showing up as empty (I'm on glitch-soc, not standard-mastodon, though).
Also, the docs on beehaw said to add [!technology@beehaw.org](/c/technology@beehaw.org) instead of [@technology](https://beehaw.org/c/technology) ? But the leading @ worked from my instance-search-bar.
anyway, sorry for info-dump, but I'm curious about other people who've gotten successfully from mastodon to lemmy/kbin

@matt_panaro I'm getting all the comments boosted - I'm not sure I've seen any articles either. Following #Kbin magazines doesn't appear to do anything at all. I created a Kbin account so I can follow things more successfully for now...
