    I’m not understanding a shit about kbin vs lemmy, but in doubt I just created an account on both and I’m on my way to delete my reddit account. Hi new friends!

      Lemmy and kbin are different things which work on the same backend and are part of the fediverse. Similar to how mastodon is fediverse counterpart of Twitter, lemmy is fediverse counterpart of Reddit, and kbin is a unique thing which is more akin to old school blogging sites.

        Okay, now that’s more clear, but I’m struggling to understand if I have to use all of them separately or I can do it all through kbin…I can use Lemmy and Mastodon through kbin somehow, right?

          You can access and comment in Lemmy from kbin, but I’m not sure if you can do the same for Mastodon. But Mastodon users can certainly use their accounts to comment on Lemmy. The beauty of the fediverse (or threadiverse, as some guys like to call it)

            I’ve gone ahead and made accounts on all of these services: lemmy, kbin, mastodon

            Whichever interface I enjoy the most will likely be the main one I keep using for commenting/etc

            this whole fediverse thing is pretty exciting and reminds me of old reddit, in a good way

      Same here, both seem to work decently once i wrapped around the concepts but i’ll be patiently waiting to see where the masses organically migrate to.

      Both are a struggle to navigate on mobile though until more app devs hop on.
