    They’re just different softwares that communicate over ActivityPub. They’re both link aggregators, so they’ll be similar in functionality.

    For an easy comparison using established names: One is Reddit, one is Digg, but they can communicate with each other and show each other the same content, and you can just pick which one you want to use.

    There will be more differences than this, however I haven’t really used kbin much to know what makes it different to Lemmy fully.

    The Fediverse allows people to just choose the platforms they prefer, and then talk to everyone else on the Fediverse regardless, instead of having to create multiple accounts all over the place to talk to specific people.
