So is kbin part of lemmy? Or is it different like mastadon?
Kbin is another Reddit like platform. All Fediverse platforms communicate using the ActivityPub protocol, but each platform has it’s own development team. Right now ActivityPub is not seamless between platforms, for example Lemmy is not talking to Mastodon very well right now. The goal is for seamless communications between platforms, but that’s not the case yet. It’s just growing pains that should get worked out over time.
May be a controversial opinion but I don’t think lemmy instances should talk to mastodon, I feel like twitter and reddit are two entirely separate platforms for entirely separate purposes and if you mix them together you kinda destroy that individualisation
We were about to read Kbin posts from Lemmy.ml just a week ago but I think the server updates might have caused federation issues cause I no longer see them on my feed.
But yes, you should be able to subscribe to Kbin “magazines” (their version of communities/subreddits) and see their posts from Lemmy and theoretically vice versa.
Different, just providing a more or less a similar experience making it more compatible to lemmy by nature, technical difficulties still exist tho, like it was said before, obviously, but that’s normal, things are still in development

Yeah, I’m not interested at all in microblogging.
Are you saying you can’t read Kbin through Lemmy but the goal is to be able to?
People at Kbin can also see our upvotes and downvotes (perfect for toxic stalkers…).

How would this work? If I’m on Lemmy I would be able to read Mastodon posts? Would they appear like Lemmy comments or what?

Right now, on Mastodon we can read Lemmy’s posts.
Similar UX but different project, just like how you can get stuff from Lemmy in your Mastodon feed.
So can we get stuff from mastodon in our feed? Also, I see Wordpress in there too, which isn’t a social network.
As far as i know you can’t see normal mastodon posts on lemmy, Kbin has that capacity but not lemmy
Normal mastodon posts you can’t, but if they post a specific way then it’ll show up. Theres one in my comment history.
that’s confusing but I think I get it
It’s because of the standards, what’s considered a post and what a comment. Things are not crystal clear ATM, so federation is kinda messy.
I think blog posts appear as posts and comments on the blog as comments… in wordpress I mean.
