@Barbarian So I have a few questions, being new to all this:
Seemingly I am responding to you when you're on a different instance. I'm on kbin and you're on... sh.itjust.works? Am I understanding this right?
My kbin account is restricted to just kbin, correct? I cannot use my kbin credentials to log on to another instance like sh.itjust.works.
How do I make an original comment (this is a bit dumb lol). I see the option to reply to others but no "comment" button for me to comment on my own.
On kbin specifically... what is a microblog?
(Last one promise), what is up with the @stuff. I see this post link is kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.mt... I figured the /m is like reddit's /r, but what is the asklemmy@lemmy.mt meaning that this is the magazine/community from lemmy.mt when shown on the kbin /m/ instance version? Not sure if this question makes any sense lol I'm just trying to understand how this all works
Your username in the fediverse is not honorfaz, but @honorfaz@kbin.social, just as an email. It's the same for communities (or sublemmy, or whatever we decide to call it). It's not c/something, but c/something@instance.com. This is why everyone still has a unique handle, but no unique admin.
I'm on my own instance for example, running in my living room, and yet here we are, talking. Internet as it was intented.
