So is kbin part of lemmy? Or is it different like mastadon?

Kbin is another Reddit like platform. All Fediverse platforms communicate using the ActivityPub protocol, but each platform has it’s own development team. Right now ActivityPub is not seamless between platforms, for example Lemmy is not talking to Mastodon very well right now. The goal is for seamless communications between platforms, but that’s not the case yet. It’s just growing pains that should get worked out over time.

May be a controversial opinion but I don’t think lemmy instances should talk to mastodon, I feel like twitter and reddit are two entirely separate platforms for entirely separate purposes and if you mix them together you kinda destroy that individualisation

Yeah, I’m not interested at all in microblogging.

Are you saying you can’t read Kbin through Lemmy but the goal is to be able to?

People at Kbin can also see our upvotes and downvotes (perfect for toxic stalkers…).

We were about to read Kbin posts from Lemmy.ml just a week ago but I think the server updates might have caused federation issues cause I no longer see them on my feed.

But yes, you should be able to subscribe to Kbin “magazines” (their version of communities/subreddits) and see their posts from Lemmy and theoretically vice versa.

How would this work? If I’m on Lemmy I would be able to read Mastodon posts? Would they appear like Lemmy comments or what?

Right now, on Mastodon we can read Lemmy’s posts.
