@Arotrios had a really good post about some of the stuff you can do with kbin to follow other communities or even entire instances across the fediverse.

Hmm that link seems to be broken for me.

Still works for me. You can search by the post title:

YSK that Kbin can subscribe not only to magazines and communities, but entire instances.

It was on m/kbinMeta

This is great, but I wish I could see /interact with Mastodon posts from Lemmy.

Iirc, you can follow them from lemmy. Kbin will let you interact because they show up in a special “microblog” area, but I’m not sure how lemmy handles it.

I really need to figure out how to follow lemmy stuff from kbin. When I see ones on the front page that are relevant I’ll follow them, but I don’t know how to actively seek them out. I’m 38, have worked in tech for over a decade now, and this change makes me feel like a damn boomer lmao. Committed to figuring it out though!

Really you have to use third party tools for discovery. Very hard to discover on kbin outside of the big communities. But I like kbin implementation of the threadiverse the best

@n3cr0 @stopthatgirl7 So, this comment is a post from my Mastodon instance. Can you see it? If you reply, then you will have interacted with it.

@n3cr0 @stopthatgirl7 ok, I just got a notification that @stopthatgirl7 favourited my post – I guess you did that my “upvoting” the comment that appeared on Lemmy. This is how mastodon nd lemmy users can interact with each other.

Only I’m using kbin, not lemmy. Kbin and lemmy handle federation differently, so we’ll have to wait and see when someone on lemmy interacts.
