Kbin is different code, and Lemmy is different code. Whatever instance you're on, if you made an account with a Lemmy-based instance then you login to Lemmy and thus use a Lemmy oriented app. Same for Kbin. If you use an instance that's using Kbin code (I know there are others but I'm only aware of kbin.social right now) then you login to it using a Kbin oriented app.
As for the content, it's all federated and if it works properly then you should be able to see Lemmy and Kbin content regardless of what app you're using, with the exception of content from defederated instances (regardless of whether they use Lemmy or Kbin). The sharing of content happens using ActivityPub which, while external of both Lemmy and KBin, are used by both (and many others like Mastodon) for the federation thing to actually take place.
In practice you wouldn't have to worry about it, except for choosing what app to use and whenever you're searching for communities on other instances (which on kbin search is something like "community_name@instance.name"). That's how I understand it at least.
I made an account at kbin.social and just went with it. It's all gonna be federated anyway (unless it gets defederated) and each day actually feels like it's improving.
I guess I'll start. I've identified as an atheist since 2015, having come from a deeply religious family (evangelical) from the Philippines. One of the main contributors to my switch was doctrines and their inconsistencies and incompatibilities (Arminianism vs Calvinism for example)....
Been on kbin since the 11th and it feels like it's getting bigger everyday. Probably true, but I believe that's because of the federation part. I like it so far.
Some people start feeling attraction at a very young age. It may not be sexual but the attraction is there. I'm a straight man and I've literally found girls to be beautiful for as long as I can remember.
Can you relax? Having your beliefs is one thing, but equating gay people to thieves and murderers is another. Most people from the time they are born have had their sexual attractions set in stone. Most men are attracted to women and vice versa. It is literally the same way for gay people.
The world can be a pretty strange place, but it's good to look back and find at least one thing that was good to you today. Be that a nice conversation, a cool picture you saw, a song you heard... whatever! But if you didn't find anything good today, here's your sign: go do one thing for you, right now. Even if its just a moment...
I'm studying mixing of songs and I've finally figured out a way to accurately measure the proper amount of low end frequencies. In the past I've always tended to overdo it on the low end because who doesn't love low end? Some monitoring tools that isolate and group the audible frequencies into 5 separate ones as well as studio setup emulations for headphones have really helped.
Does anyone else have multiple accounts while looking for new reddit alts? So far I've got accounts on Lemmy, kbin, and Squabbles and I've been lurking on Raddle, Sqwok, and Tildes from the outside....
Sure hope so. I was deciding between lemmy, kbin and squabbles. Only lemmy and kbin are federated and kbin seems much less of a hassle to get started with.

Why did you choose your instance?
I'm currently struggling to find my home. I have an account here at lemmy.ml, where most of my posts are, and one at kbin....
Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps.
