Question From Former Redditor (kbin.social)

Question From Former Redditor
I came over from Reddit and I am confused!

Firstly, is Lemmy, Mastodon, and Kbin the same?

Secondly, can I see the same content on Kbin as I would if I was on, say, Lemmy? Like a “cross-post”. I’ve seen some posts where someone says “replying from Lemmy” on Kbin. So would I be seeing the same exact posts on Kbin as I would Lemmy/Mastodon?

I made accounts on all 3 but I am totally lost and confused. Can someone ELI5 (or something) to help me better understand?

Former Redditor, Lost & Confused
P.s. is this post even allowed? I don’t know what I’m doing if you can’t tell. :, (

P.p.s. I am on mobile so if formatting is an issue or weird, that may be why…

Thank you kindly in advance, anyone!

These servers are exchanging info with others.

One instance starts that exchange if its user or other instance user has subscribed to community on it. Since then it will send and receive all posts and comments for that community to over instances, which has subscribed users on it.

Some instances may become blocked on other ones, since then that community users will not see posts or comments from blocked community users.

You can check the list of your instances connections in the footer, under "instances".
