    Kbin is federated with Lemmy though, so it is sort of indirectly included…ish. I can see and interact with communities on kbin instances from Lemmy, like this one

      It’s federated with Lemmy, yea, but it has a completely different layout with different features. I can straight up browse and interact with Mastodon from /kbin thanks to its microblog support, but you obviously wouldn’t say /kbin is included in Mastodon. I think that the same goes for Lemmy.

      Also, /kbin doesn’t get a mention but beehaw (a Lemmy instance) does?

        Right - that’s the weird part, if beehaw is being mentioned, then kbin should have as well, alongside Lemmy. Maybe someone will write to the author and complain about the imprecision:-). In the meantime, at least this gives us a glance at how people far away from the situation see it - those of us on kbin are on “Lemmy”, or something. :-P

        It is strange that they mention beehaw which is now largely defederated but not kbin which isnt. I suspect whoever wrote that article is less knowledgeable than I am on the subject, which is to say they know nothing at all about it - I’ve only been using Lemmy less than a month

          I suspect you are very correct:-P.

          Articles that mention kbin though are extremely few and far between. I think I’ve only seen it twice actually - I just posted one of them separately, and there the author does mention it while explaining basically that Lemmy is better.

          Kbin is like this best non-Lemmy fediverse instance that you’ve never heard of, for the average person:-).
