Does Lemmy federate with kbin? (self.main)

Kbin is another link aggregator on the #Fediverse. I expected I could subscribe to a "magazine" (they're equivalent of subreddits) by going to something like https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected] but that doesn't seem to work.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it just server load do to the #redditMigration or is this a feature that doesn't yet exist?

Kbin social:

Is getting walloped due to an influx of new users
Has federation turned off at the moment (see point #1)

Once that gets resolved with the hardware upgrade the admin is running through right now, I suspect you can subscribe to those communities

Yeah, sadly when people mentioned Lemmy and kbin as alternatives kbin only had 2-3 instances up, and most users chose kbin.social. Before the blackout it showed 500s often.

Even though lemmy.ca seems to be federated with fedia.io (another instance of KBin), it doesn't seem like we can find lemmy.ca communities on there.

I made a post earlier today on fedia to see if anyone had any idea, but haven't really gotten any conclusive answers.

i fixed an issue with federating with non-lemmy servers last night, so hopefully it should be working now?
