noob question, how can I comment on kilioa.org or fedia.io from kbin.social?
Good news, you don't need to do anything special. If you post to a magazine that a user on those instances subscribes to, they'll see your content; and same in reverse where you'll see the content you're subscribed to regardless of the instance that content is posted from. If you comment on a post that they posted, they'll see that too.
Yeah, but how?
Let's say I want to reply to this thread:
https://kilioa.org/m/apexlegends/t/87/Welcome-to-Apex-Legends
I'm asked to log-in, but credentials from kbin.social do not work, so, how do I do it?
You need to find that thread on kbin.social and reply from kbin.social.
Here's that same thread on kbin.social:
https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/7981/Welcome-to-Apex-Legends
And yes, there definitely needs to be an easier way to navigate this stuff. I'm sure someone's gonna figure something out eventually.
Thanks for sharing that info - I signed up for an account on kbin.social just a while ago - are the logins unique & federated? How does the system handle it if another user signs up with my handle on fedia.io for example?
If they are not unique, I'm assuming it prepends my user with something like https://kbin.social/u/massacre to the post or uses @massacre or similar? Thanks for helping everyone as we figure this out.
The instance name is part of your handle. Think of it like an email address. With a domain part.
So just like email, your username is the full @user@domain. In your case your username is @[email protected]. A user at a different instance with the same name is a different user. Just like [email protected] and [email protected] are different
You're just about right, at least as I understand it. You are @massacre (at massacre at kbin.social) to the rest of the fediverse. They would be @massacre (at massacre at lemmy.world) or whatever. The UI just obfuscates that a bit.
