Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps. (kbin.social)

I'll be honest: I can see that you're using kbin.social, but I have no idea what the difference is between that and lemmy. Also, are lemmy.ml and lemmy.world even affiliated with one another? Initially, I thought yes, but now I'm thinking it's just a similar name for brand recognition purposes, but the four sites below (plus hundreds of others) operate independently from one another and can only see content from the other instances if they select to do so?

Lemmy.ml

Lemmy.world

Beehaw.org

Kbin.social

It's not about brand recognition, it's about spreading the users out over multiple servers so no one instance gets too big/costly/unmanageable. Beehaw just defederated themselves from Lemmy for having "too many trolls from open sign up policy". I can still see and interact with beehaw from kbin for now, idk how long that will last because kbin also has open sign up.
