Do I need to create separate accounts on each of those or can I use this one? Can I log in to Funkwhale with this account or get Funkwhale posts here on kbin, or am I better creating a separate account on each "thing"? I'm still very new to this whole fediverse thing...
One of the eventual goals of kbin is to be compatible with the rest of the fediverse and to "just work" with the rest of it. By way of comparison, Lemmy is basically just a federated Reddit, so, this is actually one of the reasons I chose to go with kbin.
From a practical standpoint, it'll likely be a while before that becomes a reality, but I like that as a goal.
I'd say see if you can search for the instance in the search (once we're 100% federated) and if it doesn't work and it's something you want to participate in, unfortunately, you'll need to go there directly.
Also - Your kbin.social account can only log into kbin.social, you can't use it to log into any other sites (this would include other kbin sites, lemmy sites, mastodon sites, etc...), what you can do is see content from those sites by subscribing to them or on the front page (non-subscribed)
Ah right, I understand i think, and if I do that's very cool! I will go searching for Funkwhale and see what happens...
So nothing from Funkwhale seems to be showing up, whether I search for funkwhale, funkwhale.audio, or a randsom instance by URL (music.ppom.me) or name (spotifox). But it is early days and federation has only just been turned on, so I'll give it a while and try again. If it doesn;t work I'll create a funkwhale account and enjoy things there for the time being at least
