just looked for the first time, I really do prefer kbin's UI to Lemmy's right now at least the default web client. Is there value in running both or just one?
I notice I can see mastadon posts on lemmy as well but how do I find stuff on Kbin or Mastadon from lemmy?
That's what I think most of us newcomers are struggling to figure out right now. Do I need a Mastadon account and a Lemmy account, or can I just use one to see the rest? Is there a better Android app or other website to integrate it all? Is matrix.org a part of all of this fediverse stuff?
what you need is what you want, personally im working my way around, I also notice that while fediverse content is technically connected, im not seeing a clean way to fully intereact with or browse mastadon or kbin content like i can lemmy content. It seems you still need to be ON these various apps if you want discoverability to be fully functional.
something i would expect will be fixed in the future.
personally ill be running instances of a number of fediverse apps and then keeping the apps i like.
If you're on desktop, I made a style that uses the Stylus add on help the UI not look like shit

This is absolutely perfect, you're a legend! It's exactly what I wanted.
Lemmy doesn't federated with mastodon type servers.
Kbin is the one you need if you want both reddit style fediverse and Twitter style fediverse. Lemmy only does link aggregation/reddit.
Lemmy should get kbin content but I'm not sure it federates it because kbin allows NSFW and lemmy... Does not for the most part.
is that a software restriction or just generally a difference in the 2 communities? does kbin allow nodes to block like mastadon and lemmy?
I swear im seeing posts cross over between these systems, might just be my exhaustion.
It's a software difference. Kbin is just made to be both reddit and Twitter. Lemmy is only made to be reddit. Basically.
Kine currently has problems with federation because of their cloudflare anti spam.
Under magazines you should get reddit like stuff and Twitter stuff under.. Whatever the other is called. You might get content from both under the comments sections, but I thought that was only reddit type content comments.
so kbin angles to replace both mastadon and lemmy. whats the driver there?
How did you manage to fit so much wrong into a single comment?
Lemmy absolutely does federate with Mastodon servers, what are you on about? I've seen people posting here from Mastodon accounts, using hash tags and @s in their post, and having the posts show up as posts they've made on their Mastodon instance as well.

And yet, here I am, a mastodon user federating with your lemmy comment. 😜
