I’m a bit confused about if I needed a new account here or I could of used my mastodon account? Can we browse lemmy through mastodon and post? Can we see mastodon posts here?

As a user. They follow the same communication protocol (ActivityPub). You can view and interact with everyone.
The experience of following Lemmy instances from kbin (and viceversa) is pretty seamless, because they’re built for the same purpose. So following a comunity from a Lemmy instance you’ll see it as any other magazine from kbin.
I believe, but i’m not sure as i don’t use Kbin -i use Lemmy-, that kbin is developed to give the microblogging experience too, so I guess following from Mastodon -or other Fediverse microblogging app- will also be pretty seamless.
The experience of following a Lemmy community or a kbin magazine from Mastodon is not great from a viewing and usability standpoint in my opinion. But it’s very possible, some people do it even. I found it pretty uncomfortable and I do not recommend it. That’s why I have a Mastodon account for the microblogging and a Lemmy account for “the threadiverse” (Lemmy/kbin, but i guess Meta has ruined the term now).
In sum: you can interact, as a user, no code necessary, anything made with ActivityPub. Not only Lemmy, kbin, mastodon, but also Pixelfed and so on. The experience may vary depending on the front-end you use.
