Trying out Lemmy and kbin… And the #fediverse interoperability has lost me 😥 please #help ! (kbin.social)

Hey All,
I’m an (old 😉) IT guy, very excited by the #fediverse and trying to find my way amongst various services.

As an example, I started gathering topics I like on a Lemmy account. Then, I got tempted to create different accounts on smaller instances and try out kbin.

I’d love that my « subscriptions » follow me, so that I don’t have to scan all my « magazines » and re-register from everywhere.

Can someone kindly help me on how I can achieve that? Apologies if the question is naive, but given the decentralised nature of those services, shouldn’t each user have a « local » trace of what they follow (for example on a local app), no matter the service, so that they get « their view », their « window » on the #fediverse?

Many thanks for the #fedihelp and again my apologies for the probably basic questions!

You can also see Lemmy and Kbin users on Mastodon and vice versa. It all runs on the same protocol: ActivityPub. Sort of works like email in that sense.
