So, I’m still confused with Instances and how usernames interact with different Instances. I hear there’s different content on different Instances, but I’m not sure if I need a new username to log in there, or if I just don’t know how to log in using my lemmy.world username.
I hope I’m not too rambly. I’m getting used to the jargon and a little confused.
Thank you. I’ve been letting the instance concept just kind of float by undetected figuring I didn’t need to understand it to navigate it I suppose. But I much prefer to understand :) thanks for the concise wording
So far this seems like the one. I primarily browsed Reddit using Sync, and Lemmy is where Sync has decided to go.
If there’s a really compelling app for Kbin, however, I might give that a try at some point.
I still don’t really understand the difference in Lemmy and Kbin.
Kbin is host for both Lemmy + Mastadon (a federated twitter replacement) where you interact over both with the same login/username.

An instance is like your email provider.
You can (mostly) email anyone at any email address on any provider, but you still need a username and password to log in to your webmail.
With lemmy, you can read and comment on any community, and respond to any user.
e.g. You are from lemmy.world, this community is hosted on lemmy.world, but I’m from lemmy.one
Brooooooooooooooo
