      Kbin is completely different from Lemmy, in that it is not Lemmy. It’s like a mix of Mastodon and Lemmy.

        And are we using/seeing/editing kbin content from our Lemmy instances? Or it’s isolated from us? (Like Reddit)

            But for example, on kbin I am on kbin.social/m/technology. That’s not the same as lemmy.world/c/technology right? When I search for common subs it doesn’t show me the subs from the other.

              Never mind. I just found out how to find federated instances on Kbin. It only defaults to local instances and I can’t seem to make it show federated instances by default. It’s a shame because I like its UI more than Lemmy.

          They’re not isolated. They are also part of the Fediverse. I regularly see many people posting and commenting from Kbin on Lemmy instances.

          Yes it’s also federated, so you can access their instances and communities pretty much like the Lemmy ones.

        But kbin and lemmy can federate with each other (that sounds strange) so it’s not a competition.
