Is kbin not just another Lemmy instance? I keep seeing people mention it alongside Lemmy like it's something different, but it doesn't seem to be when I look.
The content is the same, as it federates with lemmy, but the server and the code that runs kbin is completely different, it's written in php while lemmy is written in rust. Kbin also has support for microblogs (like mastodon) so it's not lemmy at all really, but it can talk with it :)
