Saying hey from over here on kbin.social, which picked this up as a Microblog (their feature for viewing Mastodon posts). If you're looking to be active on both Lemmy and Mastodon, Kbin is the best platform I've found thus far for navigating the Fediverse.
Hey! I've been trying to get the hang of the fedi stuff. Is there a good source for how to combine Lemmy and Mastodon at kbin?
Kbin combines Lemmy and Mastodon right out of the box - no setup needed.
Kbin is new and undergoing development, so the documentation is lacking, but it's pretty easy to use. It combines posts from the Fediverse (including lemmy) under its Threads section, and posts from Mastodon and other similar federated services in its Microblog section.
It also allows you to post in both formats, which is pretty fun. It also has search capacity for tags across instances (kbin.social/tag/cat) and domains (kbin.social/tag/lemmy.world), the latter of which allows you to subscribe to or block those domains as you chose. I've posted more detail on a couple of threads here and here.
hello from Lemmy!
It's so nice to see people excited about this! It feels like forever since something has come along that shook things up (in a good way).
Congrats!

Heya form lemmy.world (and Portugal!)
OP here, why tf did this get so many upvotes
I saw some items posted on the No Man's Sky community that did this. Has me really excited for cross platform support
So is fediverse basically a bunch of servers, and Lemmy and Mastodon are like, different interfaces to access those servers? (I'm not sure I understand how fediverse works)
It's like in real life how people talk, to simplify e.g. we're all speaking english here. Where as facebook speaks only facebook, twitter speaks only twitter, and reddit speaks only reddit... these instances all speak ActivityPub.
Think of a banana split. Lemmy is the chocolate ice cream, mastodon is the vanilla, kbin is the strawberry, etc., etc. they are all different flavors. However, they are all in one “dish” that is the Fediverse.
Doesn’t matter what flavor of ice cream you are eating, it’s still ice cream at its base and thus they speak a common language underneath it all.
So in mastodon you need to ping the /c/ with @ to post on it? Like @ufos or something?
I think we can say it is a success!
I have to say, this is quite neat. Looking forward to seeing where it all goes!
Goddamn! I love the fediverse :)
