It might help to think of it like email. If you sign up with gmail, you have a gmail account. You don't necessarily have a microsoft account but people @outlook.com can still send your @gmail.com account email and you can still read it no matter where it's from
In a similar way, you have a kbin.social account. You don't have a lemmy account but you can still see posts from people in lemmy.world
That makes it so much more clear. Cheers !
But I canβt reply to a Lemmy post from kbin, right?
You can, but only people on bin will see it. I think.
Nope, i think they're integrated now. I'm on lemmy.world and I'm seeing his comment.
So if I go to kbin.social homepage, I am in fact seeing posts to any number of sites? Or is the notionof a site not accurate? I'm still kinda confused. Despite my age I'm a fucking luddite lol
Yes, and you can see where it came from in the post header.
Yep, (despite them saying kbin.social beside the title, not sure why that happens) I crappily edited this to show where the ones on my homepage comes from. And while it's technically correct to say sites, it's known more so as instances for this. You can check the instance a post is on by hovering your mouse over the name of the community and waiting for the popup to show it.
