Things have been hit and miss for the last day or so in terms of viewing other communities on other instances. You may find that in a few hours it's showing posts when browsing from kbin, I'm seeing other ones that were empty now starting to show posts and comments.

Just based off this it really does look like they're going all out on forcing people to use the app. If the pricing structure changes wipe out a good portion of the 3rd party apps and you then can't even use a browser, who's really going to download a whole-ass app just to browse a website? Not to mention the data mining the app will be doing on your device.

Bad idea after bad idea from Reddit at the moment and all its going to do is push users to leave which at this point, most are happy to do.

Yeah very true, I think the main reason for this is the ratio of lurkers to contributors has always been so high. So until mags start getting more subscribers things might stay that way.

Although, I've found there was no InternetIsBeautiful mag so I went ahead and made it and have started to post on it when I can, attempting to drive some traffic to it and start some discussions at the very least.

I think we'll need to be the change we want to see and just start posting and commenting as much as possible!

Oh I see, so kbin is an instance in its own right that uses activitypub and that's what links it to other instances that use it too? I think I'll go watch some videos explaining all of this, maybe on PeerTube instead of YouTube ;)

How comes it doesn't give any results for the magazines on kbin but it does for the other instances?

As more magazines are created doing this will become much easier too! That's if you're keeping things local, of course. I personally am going through and subscribing to the equivalent magazines to the subreddits I had.
