    Same here. Dumb question but are you using Lemmy to organize kbin? What’s the difference?

      It’s roughly equivalent to using Outlook versus Thunderbird for your email. Same protocol, same ability to interact, but different codebase, slightly different interface, and possibly a few tweaks around the edges where the protocol itself doesn’t demand a certain way of doing things.

      So, for instance, a “!” link in Lemmy doesn’t work in kbin, but remove the exclamation point and it will be fine. A Lemmy community is identical to a Kbin magazine. Properly configured and federated, a Lemmy and a Kbin instance are completely interoperable with each other. Kbin has the “microblog” tab that integrates it better with Mastodon, but I haven’t seen a lot of discussion around that part of things, since link aggregation is driving the current increase in users.
