A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Great question. As I'm new to these things too, I forwarded it to ChatGPT 3.5. In summary:

Lemmy is designed for creating and participating in online communities, while Kbin is designed for organizing and sharing knowledge.

Lemmy is more focused on discussions and social interaction, while Kbin is geared towards structured content creation and collaboration.

They seem to have more in common than they differ, especially for users who only read posts, visit links, write comments.

I also heard they are meant to be able to access each other's content, although that's currently not working.

Please correct what is wrong, happy to learn.

I don't know about Lemmy being able to see Kbin's content, but I'm posting this from a Kbin instance right now. Most of the posts I see are infact on Lemmy instances.
