It looks like kbin.social is in the final stages of migrating their site, and merging a whole bunch of improvements. Having their ~5k users federating with us again will be nice
So KBin isn’t Lemmy? But it federated with Lemmy? Also, I see Mastodon federated with Lemmy, but what’s the point of that?
It’s just another UI basically. I like Kbin a lot more than Lemmy aesthetically and it was easier to get used coming directly from Reddit. Also early on there was only one instance (there’s like 3-5 now? I’m on Kbin.run) so it was a lot easier for people who didn’t understand how it works to use.
@solberg @Barbarian It’s more of you can message someone from somewhere else. Think of it like a mobile network, mastodon is t-mobile, kbin at&t and lemmy sprint … you can talk to anyone you want but pay your bill in one place. Same with the fedi you have one home but can talk to anyone who federates with you or speaks your language … in this case ActivityPub
