they're both parts of the Fediverse and are both link aggregators. similar to how, as a Lemmy user, you can subscribe to a community from a Lemmy instance ("server") different that you're on, you can subscribe to kbin communities the same way. I'm posting this comment from my kbin account.
kbin isn't a lemmy instance. It's server software for running a Reddit-like website, just like lemmy is. There are kbin instances -- that is, website running kbin -- just like there are lemmy instances (i.e. websites running lemmy).
Lemmy- and kbin-based websites can share content.
Think of it as the people in Lemmy being Outlook users, and the people on Kbin being Gmail users. They're just different flavors of the same thing (Reddit-like link aggregators, in this case).
And, as you already know, as a user of one you can interact with the other, and vice versa.
Even cooler is that mastodon users can interact with lemmy users sort of
