At the end of the day that’s a large reason to choose any of the federated platforms because as it matures we will seamlessly be able to communicate with each other. Be it Mastadon, Kbin, Lemmy, Pixelfed etc.
That’s what I love about federation. It won’t matter what platform we are on, we just choose the one that looks the best for us and can talk to EVERYBODY. It wouldn’t surprise me if down the road there is a better universal alternative that shows Mastodon, Lemmy/Kbin, Pixelfed content in their original format all in one instance (could be like tabs or all in one feed). I would personally use that but if anyone just wants to see posts in a Lemmy-like format they have the power to choose.
I heard of mastodon but didn’t care because I don’t use Twitter or social media in general, really. Lemmy is content aggregation and forum which is more my speed.
Honestly, I just like the UI better.

Not even “will”. This thread popped up for me on kbin.
The reason I’m on kbin right now is that it supports Mastodon etc in its Microblog sections – if Lemmy did as well I’d probably move there.
