@primalmotion so… the lemmy.antisocial.ly part of your username is your own instance that you made. And I can ping you or reply to you by writing it as @primalmotion. Interesting. My log in credentials for kbin.social will not transfer to another instance like lemmy.world, though, will it?
@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
I just realized I also pinged a bunch of other people in this reply chain, didn’t notice it had automatically put all the usernames in at the bottom. Wonder if there’s a way to disable that, seems unnecessary.
