Really, I think one of the only reasons kbin hasn’t exploded like the others, is because of that split nature. The Mastodon blow up and the Reddit blew up were both instances of people looking for a very direct replacement to the thing they were leaving, rather than something that was, from their perspective at the time, a replacement with extras. Kbin could also use more devs though, I think they just have the one who is doing it on donations alone.
Thanks for your answer it clears it up.
So theoretically it seems like someone could create an app which “marries” mastodon content with Lemmy.
