What does this mean exactly? Wouldn't mastodon's way of working be incompatible with kbin/lemmy since one has strict hierarchy magazine/community>thread/submission>comment, and the other is just a bunch of comments like twitter? Basically subject vs person driven content?
@Kaldo @mstrbtr @fomo_erotic
Kbin has a "microblog" tab, you can see posts from mastodon people there. They’re either associated to a magazibe thanks to hashtags or in "random". And you can follow people.
On lemmy, you can’t follow people and any post that isn’t associated to a community is just invisible to you.
All a community/magazine is is an group in ActivityPub, just like in Mastodon or lemmy/kbin/calckey etc. Following and posting a message to that group from Mastodon amounts to working exactly the same as you would follow/post to another user. The only difference is that Mastodon uses the 'note' data type and lemmy/KBin use 'article' amongst others.
On kbin a magazine can be setup to track hashtags and any 'note' with that hashtag will appear there too.
