Took this from the sidebar at newcommunities

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won’t
To my knowledge this doesn’t work if a user in your instance hasn’t previously searched for the community
BeeHaw is Lemmy, BeeHaw is just a specific instance like lemmy.ml. lemmy and kbin are ‘group’ based federated apps. Lemmy has ‘communities’ and kbin has ‘magazines’. You can view lemmy communities as kbin magazines and vice versa.
I would say magazines and communities are the same but kbin magazines have an additional ‘microblog’ feature incompatible with lemmy.
Kbin is also more compatible with user based federated apps like mastodon due to the ‘microblog’ functionality. You can follow mastodon users from kbin which I don’t think you can do from lemmy.
You can follow lemmy threads from mastodon, but it can be difficult to navigate in my experience. > So am I accessing Lemmy through Kbin? Am I seeing the entire Fediverse through Kbin’s interface?
Yes and yes
Not really. kbin content is from kbin. You can read lemmy and mastodon content from kbin.
