if so, how? Does Jerboa support this as well?
As a technicality, yes. Consider
The same thread, viewed in mastodon and lemmy!
In practice, it doesn’t work this way. The communities rarely intersect. Future questions are better for !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml, but welcome to lemmy
I know you can watch kbin posts. Very easily. Just treat it as if it were any other instance. Say there’s a community called water in kbin (there probably isn’t), you could access it by going to lemmy.ml/water@kbin.social
That’s it.
For mastodon, though, no idea. I’m too new. I do know that kbin can access mastodon stuff and it has a micro blogging mode. Haven’t seen any such thing on lemmy yet.
undefined> lemmy.ml/water@kbin.social
That would give me a 404, but with the additional /c it works: lemmy.ml/c/water@kbin.social
Yes, all the services share the same underlying protocol and share content.
If you go to your frontpage and switch from “local” to “all” you’ll see posts from many different sites and services.You already posted this from sh.itjust.works to lemmy.ml, so you’re already doing it.
Regarding kbin, word is it’s really struggling under exodus and their Cloudflare DDOS protection might mess with federation.
That said, I’m able to read 2 magazines using Jerboa, maybe they’re the only ones federated so far with my instance? I haven’t figured out how to “discover” unfederated kbin instances. /kbin meta@kbin.social and kbin@kbin.social They might show up if you type “kbin” into the community search bar in Jerboa (and you might get more, I expect lemmy.ml is more connected than Beehaw).
Please correct me if any of this is wrong, I’m just throwing out my current understanding of the situation.
