Thousands of subreddits are still dark.

    If it wasn’t for old Reddit and RES I’d be off there today or if platforms like this one get a good user base of quality people. This Fediverse thing is really neat but I think most people will not want to invest the time to learn how to use it. Today is my first day here and I still have a lot of questions for example I know that Mastadon is part of the Fediverse. Does that mean I can use that service due to having a Kbin account or do I have to sign up with one of their servers?

      I have the same question. I have seen toots on Mastodon that make it sound like you can integrate them, but I have not found a way how. I’m banking on apps that are being developed to address this and make it clear and obvious.

        Kbin is a weird implementation. I think anything you post here is accessible by someone with a Mastodon account, but it wouldn’t show up for them the way we see it here. It would just look like random posts like in Twitter. I haven’t used kbin enough to even try, but theoretically you could subscribe to a Mastodon user and see their posts from here. Probably in the microblog tab.
