I’ve seen people say that you can access kbin from Lemmy and vice versa. I can’t seem to do it in browser or with Jerboa. I can’t find an actual answer either.

Edit: I even noticed kbin.social is a linked instance.

    This is why I encourage individual people to try out Kbin if they like the design or project better or whatever, but Lemmy was the only choice for me to host a community like [email protected] on, and I encourage other community mods to use Lemmy as well. Community federation and community moderation in general is simply far more mature on Lemmy at the moment. I’m very glad that I can host a community on Lemmy and Kbin users can still access it though :)

      Hm, so you’re saying that for an individual who wants to self-host a single-user instance and interact with everyone else over activity-pub (e.g. post on lemmy communities and reply to mastodon toots), kbin may be a good choice?

      It does seem to me that the multiple types of published events (threads / microblogging ) might allow someone to interact easily with both mastodon and lemmy in a near-native format, but I haven’t tried using it like that.

        I’d personally still prefer to self-host Lemmy over Kbin for various reasons (primarily because Kbin is PHP, ew), but feature-wise I would say Kbin is roughly the same as Lemmy for just browsing/interacting as a user, yes. Perhaps better for interacting with Mastodon even, but I haven’t checked out Kbin’s microblogging area enough to give an opinion on it one way or the other.
