It’s roughly equivalent to using Outlook versus Thunderbird for your email. Same protocol, same ability to interact, but different codebase, slightly different interface, and possibly a few tweaks around the edges where the protocol itself doesn’t demand a certain way of doing things.
So, for instance, a “!” link in Lemmy doesn’t work in kbin, but remove the exclamation point and it will be fine. A Lemmy community is identical to a Kbin magazine. Properly configured and federated, a Lemmy and a Kbin instance are completely interoperable with each other. Kbin has the “microblog” tab that integrates it better with Mastodon, but I haven’t seen a lot of discussion around that part of things, since link aggregation is driving the current increase in users.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Same here. Dumb question but are you using Lemmy to organize kbin? What’s the difference?
