Kodemystic, 
Isnt kbin also lemmy? Why the destinction?
Irisos, No. Kbin is it’s own seperate project and software github.com/ernestwisniewski/kbin
r00ty, 
I think the problem is people say lemmy when they mean either. My cheat sheet.
Fediverse: a family of applications that are able to communicate with each other and provide various facilities.
Threadiverse: subset of the fediverse, any federated program providing content aggregation / forum facilities.
Lemmy: the main established application in the genre. Providing a primarily content aggregation and forum redditesque experience.
Kbin: newer project providing the news aggregation and forum features but also micro logging that works with mastadon.
Others I don't know about but do exist.
zouden, But I can read and comment on Lemmy threads from kbin
Quill7513, The magic of ActivityPub
Metriximor, Oop let’s go. Slow and steady!
Chickenstalker, ITT hipsters
yoz, How many on Lemmy alone ? BTW what’s kbin? Is it like another instance?
GamerBoy705, (edited ) Kbin is completely different from Lemmy, in that it is not Lemmy. It’s like a mix of Mastodon and Lemmy.
amenotef, 
And are we using/seeing/editing kbin content from our Lemmy instances? Or it’s isolated from us? (Like Reddit)
floppy, 
Yes, they are fully interoperable - the power of ActivityPub!
GamerBoy705, They’re not isolated. They are also part of the Fediverse. I regularly see many people posting and commenting from Kbin on Lemmy instances.
shrugal, 
Yes it’s also federated, so you can access their instances and communities pretty much like the Lemmy ones.
DianaHasWings, 
Kbin and Lemmy federate with each other. In fact, I’m talking to you from a kbin instance right now!
Kodemystic, Could we run a kbin instance as well, sameway we do with Lemmy?
Darkhoof, 
But for example, on kbin I am on kbin.social/m/technology. That’s not the same as lemmy.world/c/technology right? When I search for common subs it doesn’t show me the subs from the other.
Darkhoof, 
Never mind. I just found out how to find federated instances on Kbin. It only defaults to local instances and I can't seem to make it show federated instances by default. It's a shame because I like its UI more than Lemmy.
Kodemystic, This will be weird when different people will start using the same username in different instances.
r00ty, You are reading a post from kbin right now, typed from my phone.
Xeelee, 
But kbin and lemmy can federate with each other (that sounds strange) so it's not a competition.
xc2215x, A good milestone for those two. Nice.
Meretrix, 
I’m here on lemmy.world but what’s kbin? I didn’t know about whatever that is.
Catch42, 
It's another site in fediverse. It's a link aggregator like Lemmy is. I'm replying to your comment from kbin :)
WorldieBoi, It’s a site that is part of the fediverse, but is not a lemmy instance. It looks different, but it can communicate with all other lemmy instances.
MyFairJulia, 
So guys we did it, we reached a half of a million subscribers!
willya, 
Hope it continues and that it’s not all bots and multiple accounts.
anewbeginning, We did it Lemmy!
luthis, We keep hitting milestones!
Excellent news
