update:

- The kbin.social server is now federating with the Fediverse. You can follow/interact with kbin.social magazines & users from other Kbin servers, Mastodon & rest of the Fediverse. For example the TIL magazine is at @TodayILearned, the lead dev of Kbin is at @ernest

- There's a new Kbin server at readit.buzz which is run by the same people as the Universodon.com Mastodon server. It's open for signups, just click "log in" and then "register".

p.s. If you are browsing a magazine, thread or account from Kbin (or anywhere else on the Fediverse!) and you want to interact with it somewhere else on the Fediverse but you can't find it by searching, here's how to make your server notice it:

1. Go to Kbin in your web browser
2. Copy the web address of what you want to interact with
3. Paste that address into the search box on Mastodon (or any other Fediverse server type)

It will then appear on your own server where you can interact with it.

@feditips This is *exactly* what makes this a not-very-user-friendly social media experience for anyone who wants to interact with more than one self-contained community…

@wrigleyfield @feditips

Yeah, I went to go use it and it made me make an account. I thought I could just use my Mastodon account for everything.

FediTips has moved!

@mattmaison @wrigleyfield

You can use your existing account.

The instructions above are only if your server hasn't noticed a particular account or server yet. If it's already noticed them, you don't need those instructions.

@feditips @wrigleyfield

When I go to kbin and try to login, the email and password I use on Mastodon won't work. What am I missing?

@mattmaison @wrigleyfield

If you were on Gmail, and you wanted to communicate with someone on Yahoo Mail, you wouldn't try to log in on Yahoo with your Gmail account.

To interact with Kbin from Mastodon, you can either find the account or group directly such as @ernest, or if your server hasn't noticed it yet you can manually make your server notice it by copying and pasting the web address into the search box on your server.

The account @ernest is on Kbin, but you can interact and follow it

@feditips @wrigleyfield @ernest

I understand the email comparison.

I don't understand how I can interact with Kbin using my Mastodon identity. Are you saying I have to find what the mastodon.world equivelent on Kbin is?...

All this is the point @wrigleyfield was making. I consider myself a decenlty tech savy person. 90% of people using the internet wouldn't have even gotten this far.
