      Go to kbin.social in one tab and vlemmy.net in another and you will see the differences pretty quickly.

      Mostly the “microblog” section and how everything is labelled and arranged, since Kbin is completely seperate software

        I did, but mostly I just saw that the UI was different, and it had microblogging. So Kbin, practically speaking, is just Mastodon and Lemmy mixed into the same site, but on different tabs? That’s all I’m getting. It calls communities ‘magazines’, but seeing as lemmy communities from other instances are treated as magazines, they’re basically the same? Same with the ‘tweets’?

        wdym viable? Lemmy instances aren’t a business, and afaik the server load depends on the number of users and their activity.

      Tell me more friend. I had a browse, so you’ve set up your own instance with only your account on. Then from there, you can essentially manage your own version of lemmy/kbin etc. with your own subscriptions and it’ll federate those magazines?

      I think this could be the answer for the way I intend to go forward.

        What I do is setup my own instance so that I connect to my own instance and then it connects to the communites from other instances. I can make my own community and people from other instances can connect to that community.

    As someone on Kbin I often find myself commenting to people looking for certain magazines only to realize after replying they are on an instance of lemmy. But they can still look at the magazines like I can look at their communities. I find all that very fascinating and new.
