I can't seem to interact with Mastodon posts from my Kbin account?
I haven't used this platform since the mass migration a few months ago. I thought I would give it another try.
Back then the main reason I chose Kbin over Lemmy was I was under the impression that Kbin would allow me to partake in both Lemmy and Mastodon.That it would combine a Twitter and Reddit experience into one login. Is that not the case? Do I also need a Mastodon account to respond to posts on Mastodon instances?
This Fediverse platform is still as confusing as it was months ago. Likely I just need a little further guidance.
@slybird You should be able to view, post, and interact with Mastodon posts (and posts from similar platforms) by clicking the Microblog tab in the header. If you want to view both Reddit-style threads and microblog posts, click the All Content tab.
Unfortunately, microblogging on Kbin is quite buggy due to poor federation (i.e., connection with other instances like Mastodon sites, Lemmy sites, etc.). The Kbin developer has been working on better infrastructure for handling federation with Lemmy instances, Mastodon instances, other Kbin instances, etc. Hopefully that those improvements fix most of the issues with microblogging, but we'll have to see.
You can follow the progress of Kbin's development over at @kbinDevlog. The dev posts there about every day.
