And are we using/seeing/editing kbin content from our Lemmy instances? Or it’s isolated from us? (Like Reddit)

Kbin and Lemmy federate with each other. In fact, I’m talking to you from a kbin instance right now!

This will be weird when different people will start using the same username in different instances.

Same thing as email addresses, the domain name is part of the username or community name

Yes, there are more than one instance of kbin

But for example, on kbin I am on kbin.social/m/technology. That’s not the same as lemmy.world/c/technology right? When I search for common subs it doesn’t show me the subs from the other.

Never mind. I just found out how to find federated instances on Kbin. It only defaults to local instances and I can’t seem to make it show federated instances by default. It’s a shame because I like its UI more than Lemmy.

Yes, they are fully interoperable - the power of ActivityPub!

Yes it’s also federated, so you can access their instances and communities pretty much like the Lemmy ones.

They’re not isolated. They are also part of the Fediverse. I regularly see many people posting and commenting from Kbin on Lemmy instances.
