  • Kbin is very early access, but they are just different website software that essentially do the same thing - which is to communicate with other networking instances in “the fediverse” through a shared “protocol” called Activity Pub. The diagram of the tree in the linked wikipedia might help you visualise it.

    Kbin includes a “microblogging” aspect as it is trying to also incorporate Mastodon (decentralised twitter) as well. There’s other software too like Peertube (decentralised Youtube) and Pixelfed (decentralised images) but I dunno how well they all interact with each other yet.


  • If the owners of your instance (you’re on Lemmy.world) blocks another instance, then you would have to go to the other “instance” (effectively, their actual website) to view the content. You would have to make an account at their instance to interact with the content on their site.

    Alternatively, you could also make an account with a different lemmy instance (or kbin/etc.) that federates with them (but I didn’t wanna complicate the above explanation too much.)
