@DamnCatOnMyDesk Are you sure that people can actually send messages between apps? I mean, for example, between lemmy and kbin and mastodon?
It seems rather like kbin users can view stuff from other instances and instances of other apps but any comments or messages are saved in your instance as comments on posts of other instances. People on the receiving instance can't see your posts or messages.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. But this is what I've noticed.
EDIT: I just commented on a lemmy post, and then went to rhe actual lemmy site and saw the post. So I guess I was wrong, and people can actually post between apps. Which is honestly amazing.

The Fediverse, linked platforms, shared communities.

It's not just limited to Lemmy and kbin. Technically any Fediverse-compatible site can interact with them (ie. Mastodon, Pixelfed, Calckey, etc). It's just nicest to do it from Lemmy or kbin because they are the most Reddit-like.
This only happens if the instance on which you're posting has defderated from your instace. So, you can see posts and comments on that instance, but people on that instance can't see posts or comments from your instance, includimg your own posts.
This is what asymetric defederation does.

Okay, so I guess sh.itjust.works is defederated, and I should join an instance that plays along.
