ELI5: ActivityPub and federation (kbin.social)

I'm really excited to jump on the Activitypub/Fediverse train, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around how it works. Kbin is federated (or its supposed to be, apparently DDoS protection is hampering that?), but I'm not sure how I can sign up with my Mastodon account. I already have one, @ArchieBAntlers , and apparently there's some way to post from this account into a kdin magazine, or follow kdin mags from my Mastodon account, but I can't work out how that works.

Can someone help me out? I want to take full advantage of ActivityPub and the fediverse, and if not having to juggle multiple accounts is part of that, then I wanna make sure I'm doing it right.

And yes, I am from the #RedditMigration
