How many on Lemmy alone ? BTW what's kbin? Is it like another instance?
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)
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.
Same thing as email addresses, the domain name is part of the username or community name
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.
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.
Could we run a kbin instance as well, sameway we do with Lemmy?
Yes, there are more than one instance of kbin
