Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I’m new to this whole fediverse thing and I don’t know if it works like it seems to.
So I have this kbin account, and I also have a Mastodon account. This one is the one I want to use, and theoretically I should be able to use it to communicate with the whole(ish) fediverse, right? But that doesn’t seem to be working.
Both my accounts follow one another. But when I post something on either account it doesn’t show up in the other account’s feed. Is it not working, or am I just misunderstanding something? Kbin definitely seems almost ideal for what I’m hoping to get out of this system (at least when there’s a better mobile experience) but if it doesn’t work like this than maybe not haha.
(And if a better mobile experience isn’t on the table anytime soon, what alternatives would y’all recommend? Subscribing to the magazines on something like Mastodon doesn’t work as well because the “account” you follow retweets every single post and comment.)
As far as I know you can’t have one account for the entire fediverse, so they’re separate accounts and can’t be connected.
I know they’re separate accounts but I don’t know why I can’t see the posts on the other one if I can follow the account.
Yeah I believe it’s a work in progress situation right now. It’s a new world so it’s going to be a bit bumpy from time to time.
As far as mobile, there is one in the works but I’m not sure when. He does have a demo up on the website so hopefully soon? In the meantime I’m using the site as a PWA and it works pretty well.
I can confirm on Firefox for Android that kbin works really nice as a PWA!
After experiencing reddit on a mobile browser, kbin PWA is fantastic
Kbin is supposed to be able to communicate with mastodon and most other softwares on the fediverse, which is why it exists. Definitely needs some tweaking, though, there’s like one dev right now.
