Yes, Reddit is going through its own API pains right now, and of course it is anyway a centralised social network much like Facebook and Twitter. So the discussion around alternatives has been coming up again. Lemmy has been around for a while, its technology is good, and it federates via ActivityPub to the rest...
Kbin is more integrated to Twitter-like softwares like mastodon.
What does this mean exactly? Wouldn’t mastodon’s way of working be incompatible with kbin/lemmy since one has strict hierarchy magazine/community>thread/submission>comment, and the other is just a bunch of comments like twitter? Basically subject vs person driven content?
Kbin has a “microblog” tab, you can see posts from mastodon people there. They’re either associated to a magazibe thanks to hashtags or in “random”. And you can follow people.
On lemmy, you can’t follow people and any post that isn’t associated to a community is just invisible to you.
