Okay, so you only need one account to access the entire fediverse network, may it be Kbin or Lemmy (even Mastodon can actually access the fediverse). So you don't need a separate account for Lemmy when you already have a Kbin account because you can access the same content as any other Lemming (that's what the folks down below said users of Lemmy are) there is.
The people from Lemmygrad are called comrades. However, you will need a different Fediverse account for microblogging section because not all posts from there are translated into Lemmy posts.
Okay. But if I follow that "The magazine from the federated server may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance" link, on a... magazine(?) I'm subscribed to on kbin, and end up on lemmy, it still says there that I am not subscribed nor loged in. And to comment from there I still need to log in from my lemmy.world account. So at least subscriptions are their own separate thing on lemmy and on kbin, right? Earlier for instance, I was trying to subscribe to The Scary Door magazine, but from lemmy, and I couldn't find how to do it. From the kbin account I could follow it easier.
I guess I'll just stick with the kbin one since things look simpler.
Links kind of break things because they take you to a different website, even though it's content you can access from the one you're on. I think there are people working on fixing that.
