Hello, quick question about the interconnection between instances in the fediverse. I now have my account here on kbin.social and I have also created an account on mastodon.social some while ago that I’ve reactivated now since the reddit blackout. I have read that kbin can access mastodon, so do I need a Mastodon account at all? Can I possibly log in to Mastodon through my kbin.social account and use the Mastodon interface when I feel like it?

Also another thing: would this question better fit into the threads section or is it fine here with the microblog?

    Thank you two for your replies, I think I get the thing with threads and posts now. But how would I e. g. follow someone from mastodon through kbin if federation will work in the future? Just as an example.

      @Rayspekt so since my post federation has started working! how you follow someone is you just go to their profile (click on their name) and then click “follow”. You can also hover over their name and it’ll pop up the option as well. this works for following users wherever they might be hosted on the fediverse.

        @dannekrose Thanks a lot for the reply, I already read your FAQ in fact :D The thing I don’t get yet, is how I access e. g. Mastodon.social while being logged into kbin.social do I just search for a mastodon.social user and if yes, where do I do this?

        Edit: I finally found out that I just can add @user@instance behind kbin.social/u/ for example. Now I feel dumb that this took so long :D I’m amazed that it just works like this.
