Lemmy and kbin are two softwares who speak the same language. You can see kbin posts on lemmy and lemmy posts on kbin. Communities from lemmy are called magazines on kbin.
The features and UI are different. Kbin is more integrated to Twitter-like softwares like mastodon.
What does this mean exactly? Wouldn't mastodon's way of working be incompatible with kbin/lemmy since one has strict hierarchy magazine/community>thread/submission>comment, and the other is just a bunch of comments like twitter? Basically subject vs person driven content?

Kbin has a "microblog" tab, you can see posts from mastodon people there. They’re either associated to a magazibe thanks to hashtags or in "random". And you can follow people.
On lemmy, you can’t follow people and any post that isn’t associated to a community is just invisible to you.
