Kbin is the first Reddit alternative I looked at and i liked the UI so I stuck with it. I kind of assumed everything would be kbin. I thought I understood things. I thought it was kbin and lemmy separate but they federated and so I’d be able to access lemmy stuff from kbin. Which I guess is true. But now I’m confused. I look at all, and I see a post in m/[email protected] and the post is from lemmy.world and it’s devs. I’m not subbed to m/main, so did Ernest curate /all and add it? Are people cross posting from lemmy into sh.itjust.works? I feel like I need a drawing or red string diagram.
curious, are there other kbin “instances”, like how lemmy has many?
https://fedia.io is the other big kbin instance. There are probably others, but they’re either not as well-known yet or are personal instances.
Is there a reason to make personal instances versus using kbin.social ?
You get to make the rules if you have a personal instance until the other instances defederate from you.
