I’m a bit confused, started using Lemmy earlier this month, made an account so I can subscribe to communities that interest me, still figuring it out a bit. What is kbin? Thanks!
Kbin is another federated instance on the verse just like Lemmy, it just has a different UI. I’m browsing this thread and commenting through kbin right now, we can all interact with the same posts :)
Another way to look at it is like different flavors or the same operating systems like Linux with kde vs gnome. Or if you’re not a computer buff, Windows 10 or Windows 11. More or less…
My favorite analogy is email- it doesn’t matter if you have @gmail, @outlook, or even disgusting ones like @yahoo or @hotmail, you can send and receive emails using the same protocols between any of them.
