Any ideas what are the pros and cons of each option?
Technology
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.

What's kbin?
A different instance software for Reddit-like discussions. It federates with Lemmy instances, so it's all a nice single network.
Does that mean when I browse Lemmy I see kbin content by default? Do I need to add it somehow? I'm using Jerboa on Android.
You can join communities on KBin instances, you can post to them and comment on posts in them, and KBin users can join communities on Lemmy instances and post to them, and comment on such posts.
So, "yes", but you might have to subscribe to a given community first.
I have the same username setup on sh.itjust.works and kbin. I'm trying to understand if it's just one account or two. Bit confusing.
Not sure, but it looks similar to lemmy. It's "federated"? I wonder if we can see kbin links through our lemmy server? Just trying to figure this all out...
My understanding is that people on kbin can interact with Lemmy instances. Not sure if that goes the other way though
I am subscribed to a kbin community through lemmy. I will check. Please wait.
Update I just checked and it seems my subscription to that community is pending and my post appears on lemmy, but not on the kbin site. Maybe it just takes some time. I will check it later to see if it is just taking some time.
