I am going to try and post this from lemmy.ca
If it works, I guess I've answered my own question.
kbin now accessible from lemmy instances?

I got both, and jumping in between to try to grasp, and it's working, and it's confusing, and I don't care, yay!

That is how the federation works! Also can see posts on other platforms like Mastodon, calckey, plerma. Enjoy!

It entirely took me way too long to figure out how to sub to other fediverse communities from within kbin.

From the top bar, click on Magazines. There should be search bar where you can search for lemmy communities/kbin magazines.
I searched for "canada" and there are many results of different Canada communities from different fediverse instances. Click subscribe on the right and you'll see posts in those communities appear in your sub feed.

Can you tell me why !mls@lemmy.world doesn't show up when I do a magazine search on kbin.social?

Just type the community name into the search bar on kbin. As an example:

Oh wow I'm OP using my kbin account and there it is!

I think that's always been possible? At least in the short time I've been around here.
For example, you can go into magazines and search for canada and it will give you not just the one hosted here at kbin.social but also canada@lemmy.ca, canada@lemmy.ml, etc.
I think when the great reddit migration happened, kbin got so swamped that they erected some sort of firewall that blocked out lemmy just to protect their own servers. But this didn't prevent you from reaching out to lemmy from your kbin account?
But if this sticks and 2-way connections remain open, that's is a good sign. It means kbin is getting on top of it? At least I hope that's the case!

during the flood of users, kbin put up Cloudflare just to slow everything down for a bit until it calmed down, and that created some issues with Federation outside of kbin. Now that it's gone though, it should all be back to normal, so you should see subs from Lemmy and other Fediverse software update normally now.

One of the things I'm really enjoying about this jump to the fediverse is watching everyone try things to get a better understanding. Gives me first telephone call vibes. Lots of "does this work?" "HEY it does work!"
