Iirc, you can follow them from lemmy. Kbin will let you interact because they show up in a special “microblog” area, but I’m not sure how lemmy handles it.
I really need to figure out how to follow lemmy stuff from kbin. When I see ones on the front page that are relevant I’ll follow them, but I don’t know how to actively seek them out. I’m 38, have worked in tech for over a decade now, and this change makes me feel like a damn boomer lmao. Committed to figuring it out though!
Really you have to use third party tools for discovery. Very hard to discover on kbin outside of the big communities. But I like kbin implementation of the threadiverse the best
@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.
This is great, but I wish I could see /interact with Mastodon posts from Lemmy.

Do you have any tool suggestions? Working on getting my version set up on my desktop while I patiently await an iOS app.
I use this to explore and find new communities
Thank you!
@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.

Thanks. I’m trying it out. ^^
