I am new to the Fediverse. I vaguely understand how Lemmy instances broadcast content to each other, but I was surprised to find Lemmy communities on kbin. How does that work? (feddit.uk)

And it also seems that mastodon can also be "syndicated" to these other communities, and vice versa? Is that true?

Are there limitations to any of this?

Apologies if this is not the perfect place to ask this question. I'm a lost old man. :-)

Kbin may allow migrating between Kbin instances, but would they support migration to Lemmy instances? If not then not sure we could expect Meta to support it either.
Pure speculation but I think a likely scenario is Meta would have all their accounts registered on a centralised server, and only have the content decentralised.

My real hope is that it supports migration from Masto instances, because I have followers there that I'd rather have here since I like the UX better

If not full migration, maybe eventually they’ll support logging in with your masto account.

I've seen some cool discussions about decentralized identity and how it can be handled, but that's probably still a future goal, not likely in the immediate future

I'm way over my head at this point though

Still, it's fun so far even while it's still under such heavy development, so I'm just vibing
