Great question. As I'm new to these things too, I forwarded it to ChatGPT 3.5. In summary:

Lemmy is designed for creating and participating in online communities, while Kbin is designed for organizing and sharing knowledge.

Lemmy is more focused on discussions and social interaction, while Kbin is geared towards structured content creation and collaboration.

They seem to have more in common than they differ, especially for users who only read posts, visit links, write comments.

I also heard they are meant to be able to access each other's content, although that's currently not working.

Please correct what is wrong, happy to learn.

Yeah that’s totally wrong. Please don’t post chatGPT summaries as a way to fill gaps in your knowledge.

I am not really certain ChatGPT’s analysis here is correct

I don't know about Lemmy being able to see Kbin's content, but I'm posting this from a Kbin instance right now. Most of the posts I see are in fact on Lemmy instances.

@Spzi KBin wasn't even a thing when Chat GPT's training cut-off date happened.

Federation is having some difficulties currently, mostly due to things overloading or the solutions to the overloading. It'll get better as there are more instances.
