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?

    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!

    You will probably want to keep all 3 accounts as the content will diverge over time and how you interact with it will also.

    Someone else used the analogy of countries and passports. You may travel and see travelers from various countries and you have access to 3 of them. You’ll have visitors and you can visit. That doesn’t make your country the same as theirs.

    I’m direct terms, yes the underlying protocols are shared and the same content can be viewed by all of them at once if they are currently federated (connected) which right now they are.
