I have a few questions in case anyone could answer, how does the federation work? If I go there through mastodon am I limited to commenting or can I upvote/downvote?

Lastly: how can I follow the instance or specific magazines?
In case it's relevant, I'm using fedilab so it allows me to follow multiple timelines, but I've been trying to follow https://kbin.social/m/PCGaming
And I just don't understand how to do it

@elkaki You can only upvote with Mastodon (with the star), not downvote. With Friendica and Hubzilla you can also downvote (but I've never done this, only as a test).

You would have to copy the URL of the magazine/community into the search field on Mastodon, then you can follow it, etc. It also works with all other URLs (also posts) from the ActivityPub-Fediverse (also Peertube videos and channels that you find via #sepiaserach for example).

Thanks for answering, on regards to the second part, am I following the magazine as if it were an account?

Also it doesn't show any posts, although that might be a temporary problem or because of the app, I will try to see it through the web later.

Yeah, the upvotes from stars/favourites is how PeerTube handles federation with Mastodon too (so there's no downvoting option if you're using Mastodon).

The group will appear blank if no one on your server has followed it before or shared any of its posts. Once one person on your server follows the group, posts to the group from that moment onwards will start being visible to everyone on your server. (But posts made before that moment will not be.)
