I am curious about the fediverse outside of lemmy. Is there any good documentation or recommended services? I’ve seen talk of mastadon, matrix, and kbin but I don’t understand how use them with my current Lemmy account.

I feel like when I see info about them it’s kind of convoluted and there’s a lot of generalized fedi structure ideology talk and not enough about how to start using the fediverse.

Any leads would be appreciated!

Thanks.

    From Lemmy you can’t use Mastodon (though you can the other way around - from Mastodon to Lemmy, but it’s suboptimal). Matrix follows similar ideas as Fediverse, but isn’t part of it, there’s no way of interacting with it. Kbin is similar to Lemmy and you can actually interact with it - visit for example !AskKbin@kbin.social and interact with the community. You won’t notice any difference, but you’re interacting with Kbin community (on Kbin you’ll find the community on https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin).
