I don’t follow any groups/magazines/whatever directly from mastodon (because they’d clog my feed).
However, you can copy the post or comment links, paste them into the search bar in mastodon, and then boost/favourite/reply :)
It’s a little bit awkward, but you get used to it.
Favourite in mastodon turns into an upvote on the lemmy/kbin side. Boost doesn’t really do much on lemmy/kbin (yet) but does increase reach on the mastodon side as it always does.
And replies, naturally, show up as you’d expect :)
Is it possible for someone to build a mastodon client that can also display and follow Lemmy/kbin groups so that they display correctly? I would love to switch over to my defcon.social account and do everything from that profile.
@DarkTides yeah! they both work with activitypub!

It will be really cool when we start getting browser plug-ins improving interaction between such services
I need to learn more about this stuff. Didn’t know it was so connected.
@DarkTides that’s one of the great things about using an open protocol
sure the UX is basically non-existent, but it works!
hopefully a better client will happen eventually to make it easier for people to understand.
