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

@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

Is it kind of like KBin, Lemmy, and Mastodon are the frontends to ActivityPub which is the backend? But I wouldn’t be able to sign into “Mastodon” with my Lemmy account or vice versa, right?
