    Stupid question, but what’s the difference between kbin and lemmy? I thought kbin was a lemmy instance.

          But kbin is compatible with Lemmy, as it’s also federated via ActivtyPub. Kbin also supports microblogging and can see content in Mastodon.

          It also includes microblogging so it’s like a mix of lemmy and mastadon (and federates with both)

        Can you subscribe to kbin communities with a user made on a lemmy instance and post, and the other way around? I was under the impression that kbin and lemmy instances don’t really mix that well. But maybe that’s just because the clients we have right now are limited.

      That’s not a stupid question.

      But it was just talked about in a giant thread the other day.

      Do search engines even index this shit?

      When I Google stuff, I can’t find anything here.

      Think of it as GMail and Yahoo! Mail. It’s still emails at the end of the day but the UI looks different and their servers are definitely different.
