It looks like kbin.social is in the final stages of migrating their site, and merging a whole bunch of improvements. Having their ~5k users federating with us again will be nice

    @solberg @Barbarian It’s more of you can message someone from somewhere else. Think of it like a mobile network, mastodon is t-mobile, kbin at&t and lemmy sprint … you can talk to anyone you want but pay your bill in one place. Same with the fedi you have one home but can talk to anyone who federates with you or speaks your language … in this case ActivityPub

      Is it kind of like KBin, Lemmy, and Mastodon are the frontends to ActivityPub which is the backend? But I wouldn’t be able to sign into “Mastodon” with my Lemmy account or vice versa, right?

        @solberg Correct, you can say interact with any member of my server without having to sign-up for an actual account on growers.social which might not be your cup of tea. Same as the pixelfed sites, maybe the Instagram style isn’t your thing vs lemmy/kbin. You can use the content basically anywhere with your account you have now, your server just pulls it in. So in your search if you type @brysons@growers.social it *should* find me on my server.
