Question From Former Redditor
I came over from Reddit and I am confused!

Firstly, is Lemmy, Mastodon, and Kbin the same?

Secondly, can I see the same content on Kbin as I would if I was on, say, Lemmy? Like a “cross-post”. I’ve seen some posts where someone says “replying from Lemmy” on Kbin. So would I be seeing the same exact posts on Kbin as I would Lemmy/Mastodon?

I made accounts on all 3 but I am totally lost and confused. Can someone ELI5 (or something) to help me better understand?

Former Redditor, Lost & Confused
P.s. is this post even allowed? I don’t know what I’m doing if you can’t tell. :, (

P.p.s. I am on mobile so if formatting is an issue or weird, that may be why…

Thank you kindly in advance, anyone!

It's like email where each provider can talk to every other using the same protocol. In this case lemmy, kbin, and mastodon should be able to 'talk' to each other if they are in the federation (each instance or server has different rules about who they want to federate or 'talk' too) As you can see I am posting from a lemmy server to you on kbin.
