    For your reference: for all intents and purposes there isn’t one. Lemmy accounts can interact and follow kbin communities and vice versa. You don’t need accounts on both, though you can if you choose.

      But are these actually the same communities?

      Or do they count as separate ones on separate instances which uses created with that instance specific account?

      I think they’re 2 spearate communities? Which does confuse things.

      Although the link worked on Connect for the Lemmy one so that’s what I’ll be using anywau

        You mean for this specific case? Yes, they’re two separate communities which is why it was disadvantageous to create a community on both kbin and Lemmy—if they made just one, that one community could share subscribers and comments and such from all Lemmy instances (that aren’t defederated) as well as kbin. They didn’t need to make separate accidentalrenaissance communities but they did.

        I’m not a fan of the e-mail analogy overall, but here it works. It’s like they created a gmail account and an aol account, thinking only gmail accounts could email each other and only aol accounts could email each other. But really, if they made only a gmail account then both gmail and aol would be able to communicate easily.

        One mod team working on two communities. We may consolidate to one or the other at a later date.

        We were honestly afraid that either Lemmy or Kbin would self-destruct so we wanted to have one to fall back on and we weren’t happy with how either handled images.
