Aren’t they cross compatible? I’m still fuzzy on the differences. Also lemmy instances were getting hammered, (as it looks like the kbin are too now), so thus my choice of kbin.
Normally, yes! You can browse and interact with lemmy communities from kbin and vice versa with absolutely no problems.
However, since both are still so new, it’s common for one or both to crash. And if your home interface is down, you won’t be able to vote or comment anywhere until it comes back online-- even on other instances which are still up. So if you’re an impatient person (like me, lol), it makes sense to make an account on each, so if one crashes you can switch to the other.
