In light of the proverbial hitting the fan over at #reddit I am considering giving @kbin or @lemmy a go. I think I can follow/interact with their communities from here? isn’t that enabled with ActivityPub? if so, then that is fantastic :D

    Can you? Yes. This popped up in my feed on Lemmy.

    Mastodon’s UI really isn’t built for it though

      @bdonvr yeah I am thinking which interface would be the best for me to interact with both from. I wonder could I use my mastodon account to login to lemmy and then manage both from that UI? Would that be asking too much, I wonder?

        You can’t login to another instance. You can interact with pretty much anything with one account, but you still only have one account.

    Lemmy doesn’t federate with Mastodon (yet), but I believe kbin can. Mastodon can federate with Lemmy and kbin. Unless you really like that Twitter style interface, I feel Lemmy or kbin offers a better experience. Lemmy and kbin use the Reddit style which I think is a better format, but that’s also subjective. You can go to any kbin or Lemmy instance from your browser and take a look at it. You don’t get all the features until you create an account and login, but you can get a good idea.
