kbin makes a distinction but lemmy and mastodon do not. mastodon sees everything as a microblog, and lemmy sees everything as a thread. but kbin splits them appropriately. Though this has got me wondering about non-kbin microblogs that get pulled into our magazines, and how they're seen by lemmy users...
I am not sure if Lemmy -> Mastodon integration is even working properly at the moment. I find a lot of information about Mastodon -> Lemmy, but not so much the other way around. I tried pasting a user into Lemmy's URL as a u/username, but it didn't work.
I read somewhere that at the moment kbin has cloudflare activated and because of that their communities can't be found on Lemmy or Mastodon. When I put [email protected] in search on lemmy for example, it can't find it.
