Well they all use a different interface style. For example Lemmy is "Reddit like". Mastodon is "Twitter like". So just use whatever platform works best for you. You're on Lemmy right now so I would guess you're looking for a Reddit style. There's also kbin to serve the same, but they're having some problems federating right now. They may not offer the best user experience. kbin is newer and still in early development. Lemmy has a few years under its belt.
So is kbin part of lemmy? Or is it different like mastadon?
Kbin is another Reddit like platform. All Fediverse platforms communicate using the ActivityPub protocol, but each platform has it's own development team. Right now ActivityPub is not seamless between platforms, for example Lemmy is not talking to Mastodon very well right now. The goal is for seamless communications between platforms, but that's not the case yet. It's just growing pains that should get worked out over time.
How would this work? If I'm on Lemmy I would be able to read Mastodon posts? Would they appear like Lemmy comments or what?
Right now, on Mastodon we can read Lemmy's posts.
