I’m not sure I completely understand the differences. Are they seperate or somehow connected?
Also I’ve read you can view kbin instances on Lemmy somehow. How does that work if they’re two different things?
I’m using Liftoff is it somehow possible to view kbin instances on there?
After reading these comments since I also wanted to know the differences, I have determined I am still “technologically challenged”. I basically understood the punctuation.
You know you are old when you think there should be something like a “Technology and Federation for Dummies”!!
What part are you having trouble understanding?
Lemmy and Kbin basically just use the same protocol for exchanging information.
Both are similar in that they interpret and present that information in a way that looks similar to Reddit which is why you can see a community on Lemmy as a magazine on kbin and vice versa. In addition Kbin also can interpret it in a way that resembles twitter.
They both started with the protocol but the way they store, serve, and present the information from the protocol is different. For example, I think Kbin stores the information that shows who upvoted what, but I don’t think Lemmy does.
The part about PHP and Rust, the differences of which is the better code?/foundation?
Most of my confusion lies with which instance is the better option as a whole. Is PHP not as reliable as Rust even thought Rust is new? I can not read code so I have no idea what any of that means.
Apologies for my ineptness. I would like to understand better.
A car can run on petrol, LPG, diesel, electricity or hydrogen. The result is still the same - a thing that moves when you push on the go pedal.
For almost everyone, it makes no practical difference which fuel makes the website work.
