I see from this Wikipedia article that the fediverse has a LOT of other stuff going on like Friendica, Pixelfed, Streams, Peertube, etc. Does my kbin logon work across the fediverse or do I have to create multiple logons across the fediverse?

    You can interact with Mastodon (a microblogging site like Twitter) via the microblog tab. By going to the All page and then clicking Microblog, you’ll see everything that Mastodon sites share with kbin.social (and vice versa).

    Individual Kbin magazines work a bit differently. A magazine’s microblog tab only contains:

    • what people on Kbin post to that magazine’s microblog tab
    • any microblogs (e.g., Mastodon posts) that have certain tags

    Each magazine can set which tags its microblog tab will collect. For example, @pixelart has microblogs with the #pixelart tag. This is nice if you only want microblogs on a specific topic, but if you want to browse everything that Mastodon shares with Kbin, you’ll need to use the All page (and make sure that you have federation turned on).
