      Tell me more friend. I had a browse, so you’ve set up your own instance with only your account on. Then from there, you can essentially manage your own version of lemmy/kbin etc. with your own subscriptions and it’ll federate those magazines?

      I think this could be the answer for the way I intend to go forward.

    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.

    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 ^^

      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

      Someone replied to a comment of mine the other day, and when I hit that weird rainbow kaleidoscope pentagon button “show context” it took me to kbin. I had no idea wtf that even was until I read your comment. It’s shit like that guys, shit like that.
