Only heard of it recently is it another federated platform like Lemmy or pixelfed?

      Can you elaborate?

      I read that Kbin defederated with Lemmy because it couldn’t initially handle the influx of new users migrating from Reddit, but that it has federated again.

      So is it a Lemmy instance, like Beehaw?

      I know that Kbin doesn’t use communities (“/c/”) but uses magazines (“/m/”) so I thought it was different.

      I also read that there was some new way to post to Lemmy from Mastadon, but I thought those were different, like Reddit and Twitter. But they both rely on something called “ActivityPub”?

      So is Kbin similar to Lemmy (by being Reddit-like), but distinct like Mastadon (which is Twitter-like)?

      I didn’t have a Twitter account, but was a heavy Reddit user. I don’t have a Mastadon account, but I’m liking Lemmy. However I have some FOMO about Kbin because I don’t understand how it all works together.
