I do! On kbin, if you set hashtags for your magazine /community then the Microblogs section is populated with Mastodon posts that use those tags.
I have a tiny community on kbin.social and I like going into the microblogs section and interacting with Mastodon people. It's just a fun extra.
I've also started following some of them, though I'm not sure how that part works yet.
I think most lemmy or mastodon users don't even realise we're on kbin when they read our comments.
Even in this thread, a large proportion of the comments are from kbin users.
I think you're right. Outside of Lemmy I don't think many people have heard of kbin so the mastodon people probably think we're a mastodon instance.
I want to start posting microblogs somewhere and see if any of them see it.
Edit: posted one and a mastodon account I mentioned upvoted it so yes they can see us under some circumstances!
That is a crazy thought really. Us being able to communicate. I always really love to see the @ handles for some instances as it brings on this togetherness and uniqueness that no other site (or really protocol) gives me. Honestly kinda weird some apps prefer to hide that instance label rather than show it.
This is one of the best things about Kbin!
I agree! I just noticed one of my followers is a mastodon account. So exciting!!
Yeah, I'm not clear either. At first I thought the microblogs section would work more like Mastodon but that doesn't seem to be the case. Big missed opportunity
Ernest is still building it so I think we are going to see more functionality around the underdeveloped aspects. He was kind of swamped by the reddit influx.
I just posted my first microblog today. Nothing fladh just an article I liked.
I credited/mentioned the mastodon account I got the link from. The mastodon account person came by and upvoted it, so clearly we are able to get interactions with them. Exciting!
