Aren’t they cross compatible? I’m still fuzzy on the differences. Also lemmy instances were getting hammered, (as it looks like the kbin are too now), so thus my choice of kbin.
The downtime is getting better though. I made this kbin account like 2 days ago and logged off right away cuz I was trying to figure out magazines and each time I clicked something, it said I was not logged in and I had to relog.
Today I’m trying it out again and everything is working, though sometimes I get a 503 error if I try to open a page or post something
Normally, yes! You can browse and interact with lemmy communities from kbin and vice versa with absolutely no problems.
However, since both are still so new, it’s common for one or both to crash. And if your home interface is down, you won’t be able to vote or comment anywhere until it comes back online-- even on other instances which are still up. So if you’re an impatient person (like me, lol), it makes sense to make an account on each, so if one crashes you can switch to the other.
