Not really. I've migrated across so many sites and forums, adopting one more won't change much. A bit miffed about a lot of good content I have brought there and now will be lost. Anyway, not a biggie.
I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...
I don't really browse Reddit anymore when I am on desktop. I am still on Apollo though, so my Reddit experience will go forever on July 1st. I'm really not interested in the official app and I have already some of my favourite communities replicated on #kbin and federated magazines.

I decided to take a peek at Reddit to see what kind of activity is happening, a good handful of the subreddits I am subscribed to are still super active with posts and commenters....
So I notice that KBIN and BEEHAW and LEMMY all have duplicate pages dedicated to the same content. Are we as a community going to have to decide which page will be the 'main' page, will we have to subscribe to each magazine for each instance, or will they consolidate eventually?...
I might be wrong, but I've noticed that right now, if you subscribe to a magazine, you subscribe to all subreddit-equivalents across instances with the same name. Let me tell you that subscribing to !random led to interesting stuff in my feed...
Hey, once again, I welcome the newcomers. It's great to see new faces here :) It seems that we've managed to resolve the server issue. Unfortunately, I had to temporarily disable certain features, such as content auto-refresh. It will be restored at the beginning of next week after the infrastructure change, so you'll get to...

I'm keeping my feet in two shoes for now, at least until they kill old.reddit for good - already I won't use it on mobile as Apollo will die soon.
One thing is for sure - I used to do efforts to produce good quality posts or comments on Reddit and help/support the communities/subs I was part of, but now I'm reluctant to do so and relinquish such IP to Reddit.
I'll be read-only there and contribute here in kbin.social and the fediverse as it grows.
They are two different softwares that provide a different user experience. Example of softwares: kbin, lemmy, mastodon.
Each software is deployed in multiple instances. For example: lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, kbin.social, mastodon.uno.
Each instance is, or can be, federated through a protocol called ActivityPub. In a nutshell, it simply means that the content produced on one instance of a software can (mark my words, "can") be propagated across the others (+).
All instances of all softwares are part of the fediverse.
Why "can" and not "is"? Because right now, the distribution of content across instances is not completely achieved: not all instances receive content from all others. Because of performance issues, time or simply choice, some of them are isolated or receive partial/curated content. This is the case of kbin.social where you are right now.
So the answer to your question:
Is it possible to see Lemmy posts on here?
is: yes, but for now (and depending on the instance admin's decisions), only some of them.
(+): if you want a further analogy from the past, it is more or less how newsservers worked during the USENET heyday times.
The branding for kbin is perfect for capturing the reddit migrators. The biggest friction point for the Fediverse is choosing an instance. If I want to join Lemmy, googling Lemmy takes me to a landing page with no join button, telling me to go to these other sites. Some of these sites even actively discourage signups, creating...
For what I can see so far, I'm perfectly happy with kbin.social (the instance)-specific content. I agree with you that federation can wait, although it's just my personal opinion. I daresay that as kbin.social grows, there might be no need for federation at all.
Here there is a good interface, good content, my needs, honestly, are already met.
for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?
For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.
Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?

how many of you have genuinely ditched reddit?
due to the rolling blackout... I think it's had its effect....

Took a peek on Reddit, it really boggles my mind how oblivious and obedient people are.

In response to the disastrous Spez AMA, /r/Videos have announced that they will permanently shut down on 11th June, one day ahead of the planned blackout (old.reddit.com)

It's okay to stay small
Hello everyone. I hope you're doing well today....
A lot subreddits end their blackout tomorrow. Will you go back to Reddit, or continue with kbin and the Fediverse?
I haven't used Reddit at all since the blackout began. Even if they change course, the Fediverse is growing on me, and I think I'll stay here....
Federation status: ON
Seems like the federation was turned on not long ago. It's very exciting to be part of kbin's growth!
Aaand... We have our first spam/bot!
Don't really know what the right way to call it is, but someone/some bot is spamming this post everywhere, even in the comments sections:...
