Here’s a pretty basic question: What is the difference between kbin and Lemmy? Do they truly interoperate (beyond Fediverse-like ability to follow profiles etc)?

    @levjoy Here’s a Lemmy based subreddit (what kbin calls a ‘Magazine’ and Lemmy calls it something different I think) but it shows up as our ‘Magazine’ that you can subscribe to and interact with as if you were on Lemmy.

    I think the ‘interaction’ part is strickly ActivityPub stuff, but that’s everything anyway. The real difference in interaction is mostly how your current service/site (here kbin) displays the data of the other service. A Peertube gallery on Mastodon would just been seen like a series of Toots/Tweets. So kbin/Lemmy are much more aligned b/c they are both the same concept of a reddit type service and will seem much more integrated than viewing kbin or Lemmy from Mastodon or Pixelfed for example.

    Or at least that’s my 7-8 months in the Fediverse understanding of it :)
