I’m glad this community is here because I feel very stupid. I’ve seen videos likening the fediverse to email and phone networks. Some of what I’ve seen implies that not only are lemmy instances connected but lemmy instances can also be connected with mastodon, peertube, and others. Is this true? How to I connect to other instances or even other platforms?
Supplementary question: what’s the difference with kbin in this regard? Or is it dead.
Lemmy was closer to reddit than Kbin was. Lemmy always had more users and users were more spread out. Kbin basically had like 70% of the users on one instance, the biggest instance is shutting down, there is now only one instance accepting new signups. So yea, seems dead.
Which instance is still accepting signups?
bin.pol.social (link to fedibd.org stat page)
312 total users
51 monthly active users
bascially dead
