Is it just me or does the Lemmy community actively ignoring the existence of kbin? I see a lot of posts explicitly mentioning Lemmy users but only posts from kbinners mention both platforms.

Well, coming from a new Lemmy user, I just mean the platform, not the software or instance. We’re all federated anyway, right? Maybe I just don’t understand the difference that kbin offers over other Lemmy instances. Is it more? Then again, I’m also not entirely clear on why I need both a Lemmy account and a mastodon account.

kbin has a few extra features (and keep in mind, I don’t keep up-to-date on lemmy’s development so over the last 4 weeks some of these may have been implemented, or may be in the development stages for you guys, for all I know):
We do have the drawback of not having an API yet (though our mobile site is great anyway), so no apps for us yet. That being said a couple of the existing/in development ones have already said kbin will be supported once ernest puts an API in place so that’s a matter of time.
