They are different platforms, you can access Lemmy communities from Kbin, where it looks just like a kbin magazine, or from Friendica, where it looks just like a Friendica Forum, of from Mastodon, where it looks like an annoying bot that re-posts every comment as a separate Re-toot.

There are many other Fediverse platforms but those are the ones I have the most experience with.

Interesting. I haven't yet seen actual federation. (That I was aware of, anyway.)

How would I access something on Mastodon from Lemmy (for example)?

@seitanic from lemmy I believe the only way you'd see Mastodon content if it's a comment on lemmy post, like this one, or a new lemmy post.
