how did you find out about Lemmy?

how did you find out about Lemmy? - Reddthat

I found out about it because of a hacker news comment discussing the Reddit drama. I’m pretty upset that I didn’t discover it on Reddit. I assume any mention of Lemmy was marked as spam or was I just not browsing the right communities?

I still don't understand if I'm on Kbin or Lemmy. I have a Kbin login so this is Kbin right? But I can view subs/magazines/federations on lemmy? But not all of the content? And I can comment/interact with those Lemmyubs/magazines/federations if i'm on Kbin, but not with the same account if I go to Lemmy? WTF is going on.

I had a similar question, which I asked here.

Someone answered that Kbin, Lemmy, and Mastodon all "speak" the same protocol called ActivityPub.

I am new to the Fediverse. I vaguely understand how Lemmy instances broadcast content to each other, but I was surprised to find Lemmy communities on kbin. How does that work? - asklemmy - kbin.social

And it also seems that mastodon can also be "syndicated" to these other communities, and vice versa? Is that true?...
