Mastodon operates kinda like twitter, while Lemmy operates like reddit. Kbin operates like reddit, but with the ability to follow users and their blogs and posts, kinda like following someone on twitter. This probably isn't the best description though.

Kbin is more like Facebook in my opinion

I can see your reasoning on that tbh. But with upvotes and downvotes added.

So they're all entirely separate federated networks?

[-] Nevoic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

No, they use ActivityPub underneath, so you can go to kbin/mastodon communities/users/etc. from Lemmy and vice versa.

The catch here being that integration between them is somewhat limited. Mastodon displays Lemmy posts as Mastodon posts, with the communities being their own accounts. Not the best system. Lemmy can’t access Mastodon posts at all(AFAIK). Interaction between Lemmy and Kbin often also leaves out lots of information.
