is.. kbin a fork of lemmy?


Doesn't seem to be -- here is the source:

https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core

It's ActivityPub though, so it can communicate with Lemmy and others.

Are Kbin and Lemmy currently interoperable?


Yes


This is interesting


It’s the point of building on ActivityPub. Lemmy is also to a certain degree interoperable with Mastodon. Though kbin is more interopable with it.


I used to wish Facebook had a wrapper which changed its look and feel to look like Reddit. Old Reddit of course.

They obviously have very different architectures and must have been a very impossible task.

This on the hand, makes me think that if someone wants it, it can look like anything, twitter or Facebook or Reddit (which it looks like currently)?

What’s the reason for it being more inter-operable with mastadon than lemmy?

Just to clarify, it’s fully inter-operable with lemmy. But while lemmy only has basic Mastodon support, kbin has full support. I’m guessing it’s just priorities.


ok thats cool. Agpl 3.0. extra cool
