@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.
@stopthatgirl7@n3cr0 ok, so it’s even cooler then – we are having a conversation across three different platforms: me on mastodon, you on kbin and @n3cr0 on lemmy. Welcome to the #Fediverse!
Plus I can follow all of you from all those instances, over on pixelfed (the Instagram analogue), thought I have zero idea how things federate in that direction as I haven’t used pixelfed much yet.
Dozens of websites all speaking one language behind the scenes!
Ok straight up how did you comment from it? I tried with mine before making my comment (cause I was gonna do it from pixelfed like you, but I couldn’t figure out in the UI how to get to this convo, just a person.
Edit: I literally just made an account last night lol
I had to paste a link to your comment in the search bar of my pixelfed instance. I think pixelfed UI isn’t as well integrated into the fediverse as other platforms, it takes a bit of mucking around to make it play nicely.
@matt@pixelfed.teachmaths.org@GeekFTW hmm… pixelfed doesn’t seem to be pushing the updates out, or if it does, there is a long delay. I had to get kbin to pull those couple of comments from my pixelfed instance. I don’t use pixelfed very much, there could also be something broken in my setup.

Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to follow you via Lemmy. I only found your follow link for Mastodon instances.
I can view your posts on Lemmy when clicking on your name. I can also send you a PM or I can block you, but I cannot see or subscribe to your Mastodon contents from Lemmy.
That’s actually why I went for kbin instead of Lemmy - it seems like it federates much better with everything else and is able to more seamlessly pull in more from all around the fediverse.
@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.

Only I’m using kbin, not lemmy. Kbin and lemmy handle federation differently, so we’ll have to wait and see when someone on lemmy interacts.

Makes sense lol

Thanks. I’m trying it out. ^^
@n3cr0 it works… well done! 🥳

@n3cr0 Here is my mastodon profile on your lemmy instance:
https://lemmy.world/u/matt@mastodon.teachmaths.org
You should be able to follow it, message it, etc. (although no guarantees as to quality content 😉 )
Unfortunately, options are more limited here.
Whereas kbin has a follow link right on the profile: https://kbin.social/u/@matt@mastodon.teachmaths.org
@stopthatgirl7 @n3cr0 I quite like kbin – it is sort of the “swiss army knife” of the fediverse…
