i’ll be honest hearing lemmy while being on kbin threw me into a loop, made me wonder if i was in a lemmy community and not a kbin magazine lmao. i gotta get used to this.
But yeah, both Lemmy and Kbin need the same flexibility of Mastodon. The more easily one can move, the less likely megacorps will see value in gobbling up instances. Long-term goal might be cross-platform profile compatibility, but right now that’s a pipe dream.
For Kbin, you might want to check out the @kbinStyles magazine. Folks are creating tweaks for Kbin in the meantime that improve functionality like this :)
Oh I know how the Fediverse works, I was just commenting on how sometimes I have to question which instance the post is hosted on. For example, I see you’re on lemmy.world.

To be fair, kbine doesn’t label things very well right now. I’m using both, and Lemmy makes it far more clear where a post is coming from.
That’s one annoying thing with kbin, the other being no quick access to subs list. I still like it better than Lemmy right now.

e.g. https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles/t/27201/kbin-enhancement-script-QOL-updates-for-the-kbin-UI
Think of it as a mailing list. There’s a bunch of people in it getting updates from others. Some use Gmail, others use outlook, others Yahoo, etc.

Thank you for trying to help though!
