Second time doing this because I made a "post" the first time, I feel kinda lost to be honest.

You should be able to connect to Lemmy communities (Lemmy terminology for subreddits) from kbin by linking in this way:

https://kbin.social/m/{community_name}@{lemmy_instance}

So for example the lemmyworld community from https://lemmy.world has a native link of:
https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld
But you can access a kbin.social federated view of it using:
https://kbin.social/m/lemmyworld@lemmyworld

Likewise https://beehaw.org/c/technology would become https://kbin.social/m/[email protected].
You can browse through a big list of lemmy communities here:
https://browse.feddit.de/

I'm not sure how to view kbin magazines from lemmy though.

Currently Kbin can't really connect to Lemmy, and other instances because of server issues, and Cloudflair, which is used to prevent DDoS attacks. So it doesn't seem like you can use any Kbin communities on Lemmy right now.

But some Lemmy communities do work in Kbin, like searching [email protected] will get you to the Lemmy community

To add to what @atocci said, Kbin is literally an infant compared to Lemmy. It’s been public around a month. I think a lot of people jumped in thinking it was more established than what it was and are underestimating what it can do once it come back up fully.

The dev who made Kbin probably had no idea this would ever happen, so just give it time to get the kinks worked out. In the meantime, standby to standby.
