@Madison_rogue thank you, that helps.
@can excellent. Thank you so much.
Kbin and Lemmy and Mastadon (and others) can all federate with each other, so posts and comments are all shared. They all speak the same underlying protocol -- ActivityPub.

I'm new to Kbin, and I can't find where to browse communities (whether located on Kbin or, more usefully, across the Fediverse).
I'm new to Kbin, and I can't find where to browse communities (whether located on Kbin or, more usefully, across the Fediverse).
I also joined a Lemmy instance, and there it is straightforward: https://feddit.uk/communities/listing\_type/All/page/1
That link lets me scroll through all the communities, or search.
I do see the magnifying glass, so I can search for communities. But I don't see a way to browse communities.
I like other things about the Kbin layout and feel, so I'd like to try to stay here. But so far it doesn't seem easy to browse the Fediverse communities here.
(Also, I was trying to add a POST, but I don't know how to do that. Just switched me over to MICROBLOG. This is not very straightforward.)
Could someone tell me what jerboa is? That's the second time today I've seen that name.
I had a similar question, which I asked here.
Someone answered that Kbin, Lemmy, and Mastodon all "speak" the same protocol called ActivityPub.
Thank you. That makes a lot of sense. I didn't know they spoke the same underlying protocol.
For fun and experimentation, I'm answering you from my Kbin account. I feel like a kid in a candy store playing with this new technology. Maybe Reddit's suicide-by-greed is not entirely a bad thing.
