Only heard of it recently is it another federated platform like Lemmy or pixelfed?

    Yes. It’s also similar enough that the “magazines” of kbin are close enough to “communities” on lemmy, that they translate quite well. Lots of people on kbin subscribe to lemmy communities, and vice versa.

    Both pool their content fairly well, so you can pick which you like better, and still access most of the same stuff.

      Whenever I am directed to kbin I get a website with a feed and then the status has me not logged in … so it makes it appear as though I need a login to use this… the way people are talking on here though im led to believe you just subscribe and it’s almost seamless… sooo what am I missing ??? How do you subscribe to magazines etc with Lemmy ? It’s currently not very intuitive.

        Kbin user here so my only answer is… switch to Kbin? From here, everything is integrated pretty seamlessly. Lemmy communities show up in the search results with Kbin magazines, and posts from across the fediverse show up in my feed interchangeably.
