quick question but I've read that lemmy federates with both mastodon and peertube (I have checked and can find myself here: https://mastodon.social/@Scraft161@iusearchlinux.fyi but I am unable to see any users from mastodon or peertube.

Search failing on lemmy:
Screenshot of a search for "@torvalds@social.kernel.org" returning nothing

Same search on mastodon.social:
Screenshot of the same search successfully returning the user's profile

Is there something I'm doing wrong or has federation not been implemented both ways as of yet?

Yeah, kbin.social has been getting slammed and they've had to increase server capacity to handle the load. I'm sure their federation issues will get sorted out.

it'd be real nice if federation just worked (I actually don't know if I can see kbin magazines here on lemmy) so we'd actually be on the fediverse instead of in a bubble where people can see in and interact; but we can't really see out.

Hey im on Kbin, can you see my comment?

[–] Scraft161@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 2 years ago

yes; but this isn't the part of federation that I'm talking about. Cross-platform commenting has been pretty well figured out by the fediverse community. What I am talking about is being able to see toots from mastodon, videos from peertube, posts (not comments) from kbin and being able to have that in a single feed here on Lemmy.
