Because they don’t get listed by browse.feddit.de [http://browse.feddit.de] you’ll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines [https://kbin.social/magazines] to browse “magazines”, which is what they call communities e.g. !RedditMigration@kbin.social [/c/RedditMigration@kbin.social] [/c/RedditMigr...
This "You Should Know" post is top of ~June, for good reason. This post announced the kbin.social Federation/compatibility with Lemmy.
A huge amount of test-posts from a wide-variety of instances came in to test the new federation abilities (including from kbin.social, one of the biggest kbin communities).
I think this post shows the hope that over the long-term, we can get federation across the larger fediverse. I don't know if Mastodon is in the works, but these kinds of posts give hope.

I thought kbin was already federated and compatible with lemmy?
I‘ve been commenting and upvoting stuff on lemmy all day long from kbin, no idea how that would be possible if they weren‘t federated.
It was, and then it wasn't as the admin had to enable Cloudflare DDOS protection during the Reddit surge. This broke federation, but it's back off now and Kbin's back in the fold.
