noodlejetski@wilberfan not really. they're two separate (but slightly similar) platforms that can talk to each other, because they're both part of the Fediverse. it's a bit like if, say, Twitter accounts were able to interact with Tumblr accounts and vice versa.
@noodlejetski I'm still climbing the learning curve, I guess. So, #Mastodon, #CalcKey, #Elk are all different things--with different features, etc--but are all a part of the #Fediverse? And, as such, can all talk to each other... I guess that's your Twitter-Tumbler analogy...

@youronlyone @wilberfan and logging in through Elk is you using your Mastodon number on your own phone instead of the one your carrier has offered you (:
@noodlejetski Ahh! I've been thinking how to express frontends. That's a very good one!
