Basically title. Can I still browse other instances from within kbin.social, even though the admin (of kbin.social) has decided not to federate certain instances?

Kind of. If there's content from an instance that was on kbin.social before that instance was defederated then you'll be able to see that content. Any content that was posted to an instance after it is defederated will not show up. If you want to see that content then you'll have to go to the instance where it's hosted, or another instance that still federates with it.

Aah I see... thx. So, I'd probably want to host my own kbin instance then to have everything in one place, right?

If you want to have absolute control over what other instances you federate with, then yes. Even then, though, other instances could still potentially defederate from your instance.

Not from the kbin.social website, but you can browse other instances if you use a Lemmy/Kbin app.
