It’s easier than I was expecting (using kbin, at least), but still growing pains. I assume that there just aren’t communities set up for some of the game-specific subreddits I was on (Zelda, Genshin, Star Rail, etc.) but I don’t know that I’d really expect there to be yet.
I also noticed that some people have profile pictures/avatars and I can’t figure out how to set that. I assume it’s because I just made my account today though that I’m not able to yet.
So, I think Kbin and Lemmy are separate pieces of software operating on the fediverse. But since they speak the same language you can interact cross platform. Interestingly, seems that kbin supports even more fediverse platforms than lemmy. I've been able to use kbin to follow mastadon users.
Yeah as I understand it support for interacting with Mastodon and other twitter-like sites is something that sets Kbin apart from other "thread" (is that even the right term?) based sites.
