How many on Lemmy alone ? BTW what's kbin? Is it like another instance?

[–] GamerBoy705@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Kbin is completely different from Lemmy, in that it is not Lemmy. It's like a mix of Mastodon and Lemmy.

And are we using/seeing/editing kbin content from our Lemmy instances? Or it's isolated from us? (Like Reddit)

[–] DianaHasWings@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Kbin and Lemmy federate with each other. In fact, I’m talking to you from a kbin instance right now!

This will be weird when different people will start using the same username in different instances.

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Same thing as email addresses, the domain name is part of the username or community name

[–] Kodemystic@lemmy.kodemystic.dev 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Could we run a kbin instance as well, sameway we do with Lemmy?

[–] starman@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Yes, there are more than one instance of kbin

[–] Darkhoof@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But for example, on kbin I am on kbin.social/m/technology. That's not the same as lemmy.world/c/technology right? When I search for common subs it doesn't show me the subs from the other.

[–] Darkhoof@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Never mind. I just found out how to find federated instances on Kbin. It only defaults to local instances and I can't seem to make it show federated instances by default. It's a shame because I like its UI more than Lemmy.

Yes, they are fully interoperable - the power of ActivityPub!

[–] shrugal@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Yes it's also federated, so you can access their instances and communities pretty much like the Lemmy ones.

[–] GamerBoy705@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

They're not isolated. They are also part of the Fediverse. I regularly see many people posting and commenting from Kbin on Lemmy instances.

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 1 points 2 years ago

You are reading a post from kbin right now, typed from my phone.

[–] Xeelee@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

But kbin and lemmy can federate with each other (that sounds strange) so it's not a competition.
