@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
Really awesome! Another clear benefit of the fediverse/activitypub.
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!
- @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.
  
  Thanks. I'm trying it out. ^^
