They are different but are federated. This post is on kbin but I am viewing it on Lemmy.
In a sense, kbin is different than lemmy, but they can access the same content on the "fediverse". It might be good to think about lemmy and kbin as different clients to access a decentralized web of content through a standard protocol. I can view stuff that originates on a lemmy instance from kbin, and I can view stuff that originates on a kbin instance from lemmy -- all because it's the same protocol.
Correct if wrong, please.
You are commenting on a kbin post from lemmy :)

What’s the best/least obnoxious way to suggest to communities who haven’t brought up migrating yet that they should consider it?
There’s like 3 subs that if they migrated over, I’d happily just stay here forever and never go back.
I spent some time going through any subreddit I liked and joining their Discord or Lemmy.
I found quite a few that didn't mention the blackouts or API changes and I didn't want to cause a ruckus by posting...so I'd like to know too.
Posting this from my Lemmy acct but tbh kbin looks nicer. I have a feeling everyone's waiting till the end of the month to really see what happens with the 3rd party apps and then they'll lock themselves in to either: Discord, Lemmy, Kbin, or stay on Reddit.
The more tech savvy and/or privacy minded subreddits moved to Lemmy communities, at least for the stuff I look at.
Post anyways! The r/skyrimmods sub didnt mention anything about it for a while and I made a post that gained lots of traction and got about 250 upvotes and now it has 800 subs over here with multiple posts a day!
Yay
