kbin.social was the first thing on the recommended list.
Is kbin different than lemmy? I don’t understand how it might be related
You’re literally talking to a kbin.social topic my man.
Go over to kbin.social and see what the discussion looks like from their side: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/51779/r-ModCoord-has-officially-recommended-migration-off-of-Reddit
Does kbin have multiple instances? Or is it basically a Lemmy-and-Mastodon singular hybrid instance? Is it even open source?
Does kbin have multiple instances?
Yes.
Or is it basically a Lemmy-and-Mastodon singular hybrid instance?
Ummm… sure? At least kbin.social is a singular hybrid instance that has better-than-expected Lemmy-and-Mastodon compatibility. Not perfect yet, but pretty good.
Is it even open source?
Yes.
In a sense, kbin is different than lemmy, but they can access the same content on the “fediverse”. It might be good to think about lemmy and kbin as different clients to access a decentralized web of content through a standard protocol. I can view stuff that originates on a lemmy instance from kbin, and I can view stuff that originates on a kbin instance from lemmy – all because it’s the same protocol.
Correct if wrong, please.
