New to all this, trying to understand the microblog section, seems like it's ideal for simpler discussion. But after replying to a guy in the Diablo microblog section, I noticed that he was actually on mastodon not kbin. So mastodon tags get autopulled into the microblog if the names match? If so does that mean that stuff you post also gets posted to the corresonding mastodon tag?

@zebus It's probably not quite right to think of it getting posted to mastodon. ActivityPub based services communicate with each other. When I search for you on mastodon, your account here comes up, but I can't actually view the post because my instance doesn't know to mirror your posts (I'm not quite technical enough to know why services don't somehow "slurp up" the posts of a user you're searching for..). But if I followed you from mastodon, I'd see your microblog posts from kbin there.
