Hmm... hey @ernest can you help with this?

@cazzztle

I'm not sure what you mean by "signing up to kbin"?

Your account on the Fediverse only works with the server you signed up on, but your server lets you communicate with accounts and groups on other servers.

It's like with email: you can't use a Gmail account to sign in on Yahoo Mail, but you can still send emails between Gmail and Yahoo Mail accounts.

I don't think Kbin has Google or FB login by the way?

p.p.s. Several people asking in the thread about how to appear on the microblogging sections of Kbin magazines.

As far as I can tell, just include one of the magazine's listed tags in your posts on Mastodon etc. For example to appear on the Apple magazine's microblogging section include #apple or #iphone or one of the other tags as shown at on the right side of the screen at https://kbin.social/m/apple

Microblogging is a separate tab from Threads, you need a Kbin account to start a new thread.

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.

#Kbin update: (mstdn.social)

#Kbin update:

- The https://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 https://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".
