I understand that I can read magazines from other servers, but can I post to them too? (kbin.social)

I'm not new to fedi but I'm still trying to understand federation with these new projects.

I can sub to magazines/communities hosted elsewhere.

Can I also post there? I see them offered in the dropdown on this composition page so it seems like I can.

To be clear, I'm talking about posting to them with my current account, on kbin.social. Not going and making an account there.

Do you mean like another kbin instance? I haven't tried to connect with another instance, but when you attempt to start a post/thread/link [etc] it usually tries to create it in the magazine you are currently in.

What instance are you attempting it on?

Edit: Looks like it works fine - Just make sure to navigate to the instance+magazine you want to post in, and the + button will add your submission in that place. Syntax for viewing/posting on another instance within your current account; treat it like a magazine, with the domain name added:

Interesting, thanks. I don't see it when I look there though.

So maybe it's still local but it's being attributed to a remote magazine?

Do you mean like another kbin instance?

I'm also asking about remote Lemmy communities but I'm not sure if it matters or not, so my question may only apply to remote Kbin instances
