    From what I understand, Kbin and Lemmy are two different projects.

    They both use the same protocol (ActivityPub), so they can talk to each other.

    The main difference is that Kbin also has what’s called “Microblogging”, which is what you know from Twitter for example.

    They are essentially different software for, more or less, the same purpose: content aggregation with similar features to Reddit. Kbin also has microblogging features (Lemmy doesn’t). They both use the same protocol ActivityPub so they can see and talk to each other.
