    From what I’ve learned so far during my time in the Fediverse, you can’t actually use your login from one instance on another instance. However, you can interact with any post from any other service or server that your server federates with.

    I’m currently answering with my kbin account but I have also interacted with Mastodon posts before. At least on kbin those show up as microblogs and usually in the “Random” magazine.

    What you can’t do is send a post from Lemmy/kbin directly to Mastodon. You can only create it locally and others have to follow you or the Magazine (in case of Lemmy/kbin).

      How are you liking kbin? I hope I don’t offend any kbin users but I created a user over on kbin.social and I’m not digging the UI, or the idea of communities being called “magazines”.

        Same. I wanted to try it because It combines lemmy and mastadon but functionally it is just not there and lemmy offers a much better experience IMO.
