And it also seems that mastodon can also be “syndicated” to these other communities, and vice versa? Is that true?

Are there limitations to any of this?

Apologies if this is not the perfect place to ask this question. I’m a lost old man. :-)

    My favorite thing was when I grasped what “microblog” was. It follows hashtags related to a community. So I want to see what is going on in #Boston, but it’s too much to have all the random stuff in my feed. But I can check the m/Boston magazine and scroll around what’s up on the microblog to catch up when I feel like it.

    And I found out how to push my posts out to Mastodon.

    I know it’s still a work in progress, but I think it’s kind of slick, really.

        I have no idea if this is “officially” how to do it. But I followed my own kbin account with my Mastodon account. So anything I put here that is a “thread” category (links, photos, etc) get propagated to my Mastodon feed. So from there I could re-toot them. I haven’t so far, but it would be easy.

        But that also means if someone follows my kbin from Mastodon, they’ll see those too. I think?
