Is Lemmy your first time on the Fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

This question is especially for people who have joined in the last week. Have you used other fediverse platforms or is this your first time really using one? What do you think of it so far? Are you aware that you can comment on Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account?

This is my first dip into the fediverse.

I have no interest in a personal page like twitter or facebook / meta, so no plans for mastadon as well.

That said, can someone ELI5 the difference between Lemmy and Kbin?

Is there a reference for all the fediverse places outside of those mentioned above?

[–] aram855@feddit.cl 1 points 1 year ago

The difference is only on who runs the instance, and what particular rules said instance has, like restricting submissions, or disabling downvotes or nsfw communities. That's it. That's why you can make an account on lemmy but still post and comment and suscribe in kbin communities.
