    Kbin isnt actually lemmy as far as i know, its a different project, but they can interact with each other thanks to the protocol of ActivityPub.

      Could someone explain kbin for me? Is it like a different instance the way lemmy.ml or beehaw is? Or is it a different thing altogether?

        Its a similar project to lemmy, great thing about federated apps is how open they are, so with kbin ur still able to interact with lemmy/mastodon etc like normal

        I’m new here too, but this is my understanding of kbin: Lemmy is like the fediverse reddit. Mastodon is like the fediverse twitter. There’s a fediverse facebook alternative (can’t remember the name). Image hosts, video hosts etc.

        kbin talks them all and can be your central hub. Imagine facebook, reddit and twitter etc all merged their websites. But you have a single fediverse identity.

      Correct, they interoperate. Though in my humble opinion kbin has a lot of features I hope Lemmy gets to soon.
