Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Subscribed kbin, Lemmy is giving an error ATM. Welcome aboard!
can someone explain to me the difference between kbin and Lemmy before we get too far into this and I'm too scared to ask
I'm a little lost myself, so take this with a grain of salt, but....
kbin has more complete microblogging integration. I don't understand what it looks like or feels like, but here on Lemmy, I believe you can only post URLs-to and screenshots-of Mastodon posts. Not the posts themselves.
The ActivityPub protocol underneath Mastodon and Lemmy technically supports that kind of interoperability. That's why Mastodon users can comment on Lemmy posts and on Lemmy comments. But Lemmy has not yet adopted that feature. As far as I know.
kbin has.
As far as I can tell by reading the Redditor's guide to how Kbin works (your what/how-to guide) over on reddit, it appears that microblogging posts can be made from within kbin.
Which makes kbin a combination twitter/reddit. And it makes Lemmy a "reddit, but twitter users can find our posts and comment on them using their Twitter account in such a way so that they're visible even to us Lemmy users, and boost our comments and posts to their followers."
great explanation, the relation to the brand-name platforms really helps. thank you.
They both talk the same protocol but are different softwares mainly different UI's really I think
They're different programs that do the same thing and communicate with the same protocol. Some servers run Lemmy, others run kbin. They have slightly different featuresets (afaik kbin integrates some microblogging functionality in addition to threaded comments and link aggregation) but it's really a matter of preference.
