    My biggest lack of understanding is still regarding access: So, if I choose to access the Fediverse via Mastodon, can I still subscribe to Kbin and Lemmy “subs”?

    I love the federated nature of all of this, I just wish it was slightly easier to put into a metaphor. I’ve seen some graphic charts that try, but it’s still a bit confusing. I’m on KBin and I like it a lot, but I have no way of knowing if I’m missing a ton of content or not!

      I agree it’s a bit confusing. I think app developers are really working to try and give people an easier onboarding experience. But I’m old enough to remember when people thought Twitter and Reddit were “way too complicated” for the average person. With technology, people seem to learn over time, and devs find ways to make things easier for average users.

      The metaphor that I use is the human body. Its all one thing, containing different cells, that make up different systems, but communicate all the same, even if only for basic function. The whole fediverse is really organic and elegant imo. I am obviously not a tech person lol.

      Lemmy is only threaded content so no mastadin. Kbin however has threads posts but also microblogging. So kbin can interact with lemmy and Mastadon.

      I’m on Lemmy and don’t know how we are talking to each other. I just quickly signed up after being fed up with Reddit Admin / Huffman.
