    So someone please clarify for this newbie: If I join any one of these, I automatically get some connection to the rest?

      @Izzgo @squirrel Yes, you can. Right now I’m writing from Mastodon and I can give upvotes, create posts, follow users and communities.

      Not only I can interact with Lemmy/Kbin I also can do it with PixelFeed and PeerTube. I’ve done it with the last two a couple of times. In the case of Lemmy/Kbin I do it daily.

        Right now I’m writing from Mastodon

        As in you are using your Mastodon-Account, or as in you are using a Mastodon-Client to browse Lemmy Communities? If it’s the later one, I’m curious how this thread or a Video on PeerTube looks like on a Mastodon-Client. Do you mind sharing a screenshot?

          @Benutzer I hate every Mastodon client that I’ve tried (specially FediLab).
          I just access to my Mastodon instance from my browser (Firefox) and Lemmy/Kbin from also my browser. I copy the fediverse link on a post and paste it in my Mastodon search bar.
          Then I interact with the content.

          Videos look like the ones that you can see on toots and photos from PixelFeed look like normal photos.

          Speaking about looking. Here’s a photo of how one of my replies and a reply from Lemmy (Beehaw) looks like.

          Not at all. I’m curious exactly how it’s done myself.

          In fact, it’d be amazing if someone made a little gif or video that showed how easily the fediverse can cross communicate.

      More or less. The site owners have some discretion about which instances they federate (that is, exchange content feeds) with, so you may not get absolutely everything. And some of the connections seem more reliable than others - I’ve found that the Lemmy sites reliably share posts and comments with each other, and they seem to receive the stuff from kbin, but I’ve noticed some comments on Lemmy don’t seem to show up on kbin.
