    @DarkTides yeah! they both work with activitypub!

    I don’t follow any groups/magazines/whatever directly from mastodon (because they’d clog my feed).

    However, you can copy the post or comment links, paste them into the search bar in mastodon, and then boost/favourite/reply :)

    It’s a little bit awkward, but you get used to it.

    Favourite in mastodon turns into an upvote on the lemmy/kbin side. Boost doesn’t really do much on lemmy/kbin (yet) but does increase reach on the mastodon side as it always does.

    And replies, naturally, show up as you’d expect :)

      It will be really cool when we start getting browser plug-ins improving interaction between such services

        @DarkTides that’s one of the great things about using an open protocol

        sure the UX is basically non-existent, but it works!

        hopefully a better client will happen eventually to make it easier for people to understand.

      Is it possible for someone to build a mastodon client that can also display and follow Lemmy/kbin groups so that they display correctly? I would love to switch over to my defcon.social account and do everything from that profile.

        @wason not sure about lemmy. i know kbin has support with its microblog functionality and how any post coming in from a remote server that isn’t to a group goes to a “random” magazine
