Hi all,

So moving over from the barren wastes we’ve left behind us, I’ve grabbed both a Kbin account and Lemmy on a couple of instances.

Are Kbin and Lemmy totally separate things? Given the ReddThat is a Lemmy instance(?) but doesn’t contain Lemmy in the title - it’s difficult for me to understand at a glance which of these disperate systems on the feddeverse can or can’t talk to once another…!

Any attempts at an ELI5 would be tremendously appreciated!

    Lemmy instances can communicate with each other. Kbin is a bit on the microblogging side of the fediverse.

    Also I don’t think it matters what the title is all of the Lemmy instances use the same protocol i.e. Activity Pub to communicate with each other. Just like the instances of Kbin do. I guess the user interaction with each other or post is different on Kbin and Lemmy.
