      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’?

    No, just the way the Fediverse works. :)

    …and, to go on a bit of a tangent, how the internet “used to” work. You still see the remnant with E-Mails; they can go between servers. Most other services have become locked and centralized now. There was a short bit of time where MSN, AIM and YIM were practically compatible with one another due to sharing many of the same XMPP protos.

    Personally I am happy to see this again, been too long ^^

    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.
