Is there an article someone could point to that explains how kbin, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world etc. all relate to one another?

For example do I need an account with both kbin and lemmy, or are they just different names for the same thing?

Can I subscribe to a lemmy.world ‘channel’ with my kbin account?

Still trying to work things out.

    @DamnCatOnMyDesk Are you sure that people can actually send messages between apps? I mean, for example, between lemmy and kbin and mastodon?

    It seems rather like kbin users can view stuff from other instances and instances of other apps but any comments or messages are saved in your instance as comments on posts of other instances. People on the receiving instance can’t see your posts or messages.

    Please correct me if I’m wrong. But this is what I’ve noticed.

    EDIT: I just commented on a lemmy post, and then went to rhe actual lemmy site and saw the post. So I guess I was wrong, and people can actually post between apps. Which is honestly amazing.
