Can someone please explain federation? (kbin.social)

Hello all! I'm one of the original reddit users, and before that a long time Digg user. I want to enjoy and participate in the fediverse.

Can someone please explain federation, and to what degree the content from other platforms / instances will appear for a user who only visits kbin.social? I understand that federation is currently broken. What happens when it gets fixed?

I tried searching, but no luck. If there's a fan or link, all the better :D

The people here don't want another reddit that will eventually shoot itself. They don't want another single point of failure. They want something run by people that think like the and is resistant to the corporate bullshit.

The other benefit is that I'm posting this from lemmy. You and I don't need to agree on which instance is the next reddit. Or even which software it is.

I agree that the UX could be better, but I think we're in the early days and it only gets better from here.
