I'm a bit confused about if I needed a new account here or I could of used my mastodon account? Can we browse lemmy through mastodon and post? Can we see mastodon posts here?

I meant from a users point of view? is there a way to combine our usage of lemmy / kbin and mastodon?

You can add this group @fediverse@kbin.social from Mastodon and see and interact with all the posts. Mastodon doesn't (of course) have some of the functions, like threading, upvotes/downvote etc, so the experience might not be as good.

Similarly on Kbin, you can follow people from Mastodon - their posts end up in the Microblog section

Interesting, I can't. What I can do is find and follow @fediverse, but I can't see any post

There’s no backfilling. You’ll only see new content.

on mastodon you can follow people from lemmy and kbin, yes

in the searchbox on mastodon search this:

@coremeltfx

and you will find your kbin user with the replies and content you wrote. but since mastodon and kbin are different it will not work properly (for example following kbin magazines in mastodon won't show the content on those magazines)

But since kbin and lemmy have the same purpose their interoperability is good

that's a lemmy.world post seen in kbin
