Is kbin different than lemmy? I don't understand how it might be related
You're literally talking to a kbin.social topic my man.
Go over to kbin.social and see what the discussion looks like from their side: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/51779/r-ModCoord-has-officially-recommended-migration-off-of-Reddit
And yes, they can see you too
Does kbin have multiple instances? Or is it basically a Lemmy-and-Mastodon singular hybrid instance? Is it even open source?
Yes.
Ummm... sure? At least kbin.social is a singular hybrid instance that has better-than-expected Lemmy-and-Mastodon compatibility. Not perfect yet, but pretty good.
Yes.

There's also fedia.io , another kbin insurance. kbin.social is run by the creator of the software
Thanks. Everyone seems to talk about kbin.social as if others don't exist.
Kbin is so new compared to Lemmy that there were only like 2 instances a few weeks ago and the second one wasn't in English lol. There are more now but kbin.social is still the biggest and the sentiment stuck around.
They are different but are federated. This post is on kbin but I am viewing it on Lemmy.
In a sense, kbin is different than lemmy, but they can access the same content on the "fediverse". It might be good to think about lemmy and kbin as different clients to access a decentralized web of content through a standard protocol. I can view stuff that originates on a lemmy instance from kbin, and I can view stuff that originates on a kbin instance from lemmy -- all because it's the same protocol.
Correct if wrong, please.
You are commenting on a kbin post from lemmy :)
