It might help to think of it like email. If you sign up with gmail, you have a gmail account. You don't necessarily have a microsoft account but people @outlook.com can still send your @gmail.com account email and you can still read it no matter where it's from

In a similar way, you have a kbin.social account. You don't have a lemmy account but you can still see posts from people in lemmy.world

That makes it so much more clear. Cheers !

But I can’t reply to a Lemmy post from kbin, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can, but only people on bin will see it. I think.

Nope, i think they're integrated now. I'm on lemmy.world and I'm seeing his comment.

  • you can still see posts from people in lemmy.world

So if I go to kbin.social homepage, I am in fact seeing posts to any number of sites? Or is the notionof a site not accurate? I'm still kinda confused. Despite my age I'm a fucking luddite lol

Yes, and you can see where it came from in the post header.
