Hello Fediverse!

This is my first post. I have a question regarding some functions that would be equivalent to those found on reddit.

What does the following message mean:

The magazine from the federated server may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

When will this be complete? Do I need a separate account for Lemmy to be able to post on there?
If not when am I going to be able to use 1 account/ my kbin account to post on lemmy as well? Is this an incomplete feature for now?

Also I wanted to post in the “RedditMigration” “subreddit”. Is my post here or is it somewhere else?

Probably stupid questions by I appreciate any help!

    @PeanutsBeside Some magazines (KBin equivalents to subs on reddit, called “communities” on Lemmy) are synced through activity pub in this federated system. So the resource you browse is not actually on KBin, but it might be somewhere else - for example some lemmy instance like lemmy world. Those resources are not synced since creation, but rather from the moment it was first looked up here. Also not everything is synced if nobody is subscribed to said federated community. If you would like to see the content on original instance, you can open the thread here on kbin, and under the post there are options - look for one called Copy Url To Fediverse, then open the link in new tab in your browser - you’ll see where the post originate from. It’s just a nature of federated communities. I’m not sure if all the old posts will be synced - likely not - but you should be able to see new posts
