to clarify a bit. by default kbin focuses on /m/ “magazines” or subreddits. however /d/ lets you access the entire instance rather than just a single community.
@[email protected]@[email protected] so by interacting with a /d/ domain you can browse most things posted locally on a fediverse site like mstdn or hachyderm?
@[email protected] mmm. So it’s akin to browsing on reddit by submission link to see all threads/posts with that domain, + being able to see most lemmy/kbin/potential future AP link aggregators on particular instances integrated natively?
@swarmosythe yeah /d/ works a little weird. it gets: all links to the domain, and all threads/users from that instance. the former bit works like reddit’s browse by link, the latter is kinda it’s own thing. by default ofc all fediverse users can comment on kbin/lemmy threads and communities. and the magazines (/m/) works like subreddits, but also have a url @ after them like how accounts on fediverse work.

@swarmosythe I think it doesn’t work for mastodon stuff. but for example: https://kbin.social/d/lemmygrad.ml will show you threads on lemmygrad and by lemmygrad users. https://kbin.social/m/gaming will show you kbin’s local gaming magazine. while https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] will show you lemmy.ml’s gaming magazine. https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.ml will show you everything from lemmy.ml communities and users.
notably though I think /d/ also grabs links to a site rather than just from a site.

@MxM111
@Otome-chan@kbin.social Thank your for the explanation, but I am still confused. Other than limiting to subreddit or magazine, what is the difference between https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] and https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.ml? Note, one is /m/ and the other is /d/.
Also, can you expand your phrase “/d/ also grabs links to a site rather than just from a site.”? When I am on /d/ it still looks exactly like kbin…
@swarmosythe
@MxM111 /d/lemmy.ml covers the entire lemmy.ml site/instance. /m/[email protected] is a particular lemmy community. Think of it as the difference between reddit.com and reddit.com/r/gaming
@swarmosythe
@Otome-chan@kbin.social Well, but what then https://kbin.social/d/reddit.com means?
@swarmosythe
@MxM111 since reddit.com isn’t a fediverse instance, that just shows links to reddit.
