I know that Lemmy and Kbin can see each other's content, but what about the other 'form' of site like Mastodon or Pixelfed? (lemmy.world)

Lemmy and Kbin is more forum-like or reddit-like in its discussion form while Mastodon is more twitter-like or microblogging

While I know that Lemmy can see Kbin and vice versa, does this also extend to Mastodon and Pixelfed?

Can I see Mastodon and Pixelfed content in Lemmy/Kbin ? and the other way around as well ? (see Lemmy and Kbin content through Mastodon or Pixelfed)

I'm curious on how it works (as a layman), because on Mastodon you follow people/users not communities.

You can follow Lemmy communities in Mastodon by putting the "https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse" in the search box, hitting enter, the community comes up as a group in the search results, then you hit the follow button, and all posts will be sent to your home feed, it's not the greatest interface between the two, but you can post, and reply, like, follow, all that from and to a Lemmy community/user/post

No idea about Kbin, or Pixelfed as I haven't checked them out yet

Ooh interesting, I'd probaby make a Mastodon acc just to see and test this myself. Thanks for the insight.

It'd be slicker than greased pigshit if we could use our single ID like a passport across the entire Fediverse to be able to log into Fediverse federated assets seamlessly, but alas, not yet, small steps

I agree, that would be slicker than a minnows dick in a mud puddle.

It'd be slicker than oil-soaped black ice.

In my experience you can follow kbin magazines from mastodon but you won't be able to see an actual content. not sure if this is being worked on.
