    2 questions for whomever has the answers

    1. Are all communities shared in the entire federation multiverse thingy…For example … if a community was created on Kbin does that mean it’s prevented from being created on any other site so only one exists?
    2. Can I subscribe to a community that’s not hosted on Kbin and still see it and participate in it from Kbin

    Gracias fellow kbinians ✨

      1. no, each server (kbin.social, fedia.io, lemmy.world, etc.) can have their own communities, since there is no centralized server that manages community names it would be impossible to track which servers already have a community with the same name
      2. yes, that’s the beauty of the fediverse! this post explains how you can do that. you can also view and interact with posts from other federated social media sites such as Mastodon if you are interested in that sort of thing
