Hey, folks. I’m new to this whole Fediverse thing. One of the things I’ve been most excited try out is the whole cross platform aspect, where you can follow peertube/mastodon/lemmy accounts from the other sites. I have my reddit account mostly switched over. I went through and found (I think) all of the communities I follow that have a presence on Lemmy. I’d like to start following some Mastodon accounts from my Lemmy if possible, but all the instructions I find when searching it talk about following Lemmy from Mastodon, not the other way around. When I copy the Mastodon links and search them within Lemmy, no results are found. I’ve tried through a browser, through Jerboa, and through Connect.
Can anyone help me?
Please and thank you!
No app, but its native web interface is pretty competent.
If you know what lemmy is, you already know what kbin is. It’s essentially the same idea, just with more integration with the microblog side of the fediverse. Communities (“magazines”) also have a microblog tab which kbin users can post to, which is great for informal posts that don’t really warrant their own threads (“I tried (product) and I’m really enjoying it so far,” or “the latest episode of (show) was great,” or “(boss) in (game) is BS”). This tab also collects posts from mastodon users that use hashtags defined by magazine mods.
The largest instance is at kbin.social, though it might be best to spread out a bit; kbin is still pretty new and there’s been a rush to the main dev’s server in the snoopocalypse.
