You can access and comment in Lemmy from kbin, but I’m not sure if you can do the same for Mastodon. But Mastodon users can certainly use their accounts to comment on Lemmy. The beauty of the fediverse (or threadiverse, as some guys like to call it)
Think of instances as “continents” where communities (think of them as “countries”) and users set up their base. For example, you’re now in the lemmy.world instance. That means you are a resident of the lemmy.world instance.
You can “travel” to other instances and participate in the communities they have there too and vice versa.
You only need one account to access the entire Lemmy network. So you can still access the movies community on lemmy.ml if it does become the definitive one and considering that it’s the “main” instance right now, that shouldn’t be hard either.
I mean, I’m commenting here in lemmy.world from lemmy.ml
I’d like an optimization for Jerboa as well as more customization for our accounts. Jerboa is fine as it is functional, but sometimes text boxes just extend all the way to the edge of the screen and makes it not visually appealing. I’m still learning though as I’m currently figuring out how to visit the communities in the other servers.
As for communities, I just hope that a mass migration of even 10% of Reddit’s disappointed users would help boost the growth of Lemmy communities and help make niche communities thrive. I personally am a subscriber to the writing and anime subreddits, so I hope there’ll be similar communities here.
Lemmings?
