This "You Should Know" post is top of ~June, for good reason. This post announced the kbin.social Federation/compatibility with Lemmy.

A huge amount of test-posts from a wide-variety of instances came in to test the new federation abilities (including from kbin.social, one of the biggest kbin communities).

I think this post shows the hope that over the long-term, we can get federation across the larger fediverse. I don't know if Mastodon is in the works, but these kinds of posts give hope.

Can someone ELI5 Lemmy vs Kbin for me? I understand that they are both part of fediverse, and they seem to be accomplishing the same task... but there are people saying that they prefer one over the other or that one is better than the other. I made accounts on lemmy and kbin and I can't see any real difference as a user.
