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?
@Rayspekt I kind of feel like at work, sometimes I'll throw out an IM to the team rather than sending an email to everyone - it's kind of the difference between a post and a microblog here. A "how does this work" type post seems like a microblog situation more than a post situation, though while this whole thing is new I can kind of imagine either place would make sense as more people could benefit from reading from the answer presently.
Hello everyone. (I made this post on kbin too but it seems like this is the official magazine)
I recently joined this site and started being excited posting my videos on different magazines. But then I just got randomly banned by MothraCultist because I was spamming low effort AI content. I have worked really hard on these videos for months, the content is AI generated, not the creation of it, and I have been posting them slowly on reddit in different subreddits, but I just joined here so I have to post on different ones all together. It is not like I went on a magazine and started spamming, it is all over the site.
If you want this site to grow don't let power hungry people like her just randomly ban people, that is how sites grow, with people excited to spread content. After the initial large posting on different magazines I was planning to just post once or twice a day and be active, but I can no longer do it because I have been banned for 1 year. I find this ridiculous.
If you guys think I am wrong let me know, I just wanted to grow different communities with my content because some of them like ChatGPT literally had 0 posts.
Is it normal for Kbin to frequently have to verify if my connection is secure via Cloudflare, if I neglect the tab for more than a couple of minutes?

@mastodonmigration can you explain what you mean about Kbin not being federated is? I'm seeing this mastodon.online post in Kbin.social, and I regularly see Lemmy and Beehaw.org magazines on here as well. Is Kbin not available for lemmy or Mastodon to see posts from? Is the lack of federation a limit of the main instance or of Kbin as a whole?
New migrants please be patient. This is a lot like Nov 2022. It will be choppy, but get sorted out. This is another golden opportunity to break down corporate social media.

@mastodonmigration I'm seeing this post on Kbin. If I'm understanding correctly, when people toot about a story from a federated forum site, the conversation is connected through the fediverse? Basically Open Source reddit and twitter talk to each other?
