Lately I often read about kbin.social being similar to lemmy but more accessible. So I created an account there to check it out. My experience so far is a little mixed. From kbin I can access all Lemmy posts, although I find the interface less intuitive to join new communities. So from the kbin side it feels like an other Lemmy instance.

But when searching for kbin from this Lemmy Account, I do not find much. I feel like I am missing some basic concept, that makes it pretty clear. Why this is such a one way experience.

So now I am wondering: How does this work, what are the difference, what do both sites have in common?

    actually that model is now optional thanks to some PHP extensions which can bypass the bootstrap and keep everything running. But it’s not something that is always needed, since the share nothing architecture works fine for most use cases

      Are you talking about PHP-PM or something else?
