Well they all use a different interface style. For example Lemmy is “Reddit like”. Mastodon is “Twitter like”. So just use whatever platform works best for you. You’re on Lemmy right now so I would guess you’re looking for a Reddit style. There’s also kbin to serve the same, but they’re having some problems federating right now. They may not offer the best user experience. kbin is newer and still in early development. Lemmy has a few years under its belt.
So is kbin part of lemmy? Or is it different like mastadon?
Kbin is another Reddit like platform. All Fediverse platforms communicate using the ActivityPub protocol, but each platform has it’s own development team. Right now ActivityPub is not seamless between platforms, for example Lemmy is not talking to Mastodon very well right now. The goal is for seamless communications between platforms, but that’s not the case yet. It’s just growing pains that should get worked out over time.
May be a controversial opinion but I don’t think lemmy instances should talk to mastodon, I feel like twitter and reddit are two entirely separate platforms for entirely separate purposes and if you mix them together you kinda destroy that individualisation
We were about to read Kbin posts from Lemmy.ml just a week ago but I think the server updates might have caused federation issues cause I no longer see them on my feed.
But yes, you should be able to subscribe to Kbin “magazines” (their version of communities/subreddits) and see their posts from Lemmy and theoretically vice versa.

Are you saying you can’t read Kbin through Lemmy but the goal is to be able to?

People at Kbin can also see our upvotes and downvotes (perfect for toxic stalkers…).
Similar UX but different project, just like how you can get stuff from Lemmy in your Mastodon feed.
So can we get stuff from mastodon in our feed? Also, I see Wordpress in there too, which isn’t a social network.
As far as i know you can’t see normal mastodon posts on lemmy, Kbin has that capacity but not lemmy
Normal mastodon posts you can’t, but if they post a specific way then it’ll show up. Theres one in my comment history.
Kbin also has a user karma system, which I want nothing to do with. I feel it’s a system that was abused on reddit and didn’t make anything better.
