    Hi all :)

    I started on Lemmy but then kbin UI caught my attention so I migrated over there. Now I’m. Back to see what Lemmy is like now

    Is there a way to link my kbin acocunt/subs to Lemmy? What’s the easiest way to do this or the closest thing to it? I have more comments over there and would like to be able to continue discussions there, or see replies, etc? But now from Lemmy

    Edit: I ended up pulling up my kbin subscriptions on 1 tab, and Lemmy search on the other, and just searched manually

      Kbin is federated so you should be able to see content from kbin on Lemmy and vice versa. I don’t really know how it works, but it should be/is possible. You cannot merge your accounts or anything like that though.
