@FaceDeer @interolivary What is this in relation to? I am still trying to figure out mastodon

@admin I'm viewing this thread from a kbin instance, not Mastodon. It's a threaded discussion in the style of Reddit. https://kbin.social/m/science@beehaw.org/t/91867/string-theory-lied-to-us-and-now-science-communication-is should show it as I'm seeing it. The community is actually on beehaw.org, so it's posted via Lemmy.

I know that Kbin and Mastodon interact, but honestly I'm a little unclear on the details myself. I thought I had to go to the "microblogging" tab for the Mastodon stuff.

I've got an account on kbin too, just out of curiosity. Mastodon posts (what's the Mastodon equivalent of a tweet?) end up over on microblogging, but people on Mastodon can see "regular" posts too so they are often in the comments.

No idea how these comments show up on Mastodon, I don't use it. "Microblogging" just isn't my thing
