Difference between kbin and lemmy (feddit.de)

Lately I often read about kbin.social being similar to lemmy but more accessible. So I created an account there to check it out. My experience so far is a little mixed. From kbin I can access all Lemmy posts, although I find the interface less intuitive to join new communities. So from the kbin side it feels like an other Lemmy instance.

But when searching for kbin from this Lemmy Account, I do not find much. I feel like I am missing some basic concept, that makes it pretty clear. Why this is such a one way experience.

So now I am wondering: How does this work, what are the difference, what do both sites have in common?

Also, Lemmys devs have pretty radical political views and I don’t want to support sites that don’t care about human rights

That seems a rather simple statement to throw out there without backing it up..are we supposed to just repeat information like parrots now? Or is there information out there I haven't been made aware of?

From what I understand, one of the core devs (Dessalines) is a Marxist-Lenninist; they later founded the second Lemmy instance, Lemmygrad.ml.

Recently, there was some discussion on Lemmy.ml’s (the first and official-ish instance) policy of banning any crticisms of China’s government (e.g., even mentioning the Uyghur genocide) on their own servers.

Hmm..... I see the points being made. Thanks for supplying actual information. I think it's a bit too soon to see how this will play out, and people are quite malleable, so this will be interesting to watch develop.
