Correct, it’s completely different software.
They were for a few weeks, until today. I’m commenting from Kbin right now.
Turns out lemmy.ml admins had blocked a lot of bots and “kbinBot” (which is the useragent name used by Kbin for federation requests) was inadvertently among the blocked bots. The lemmy.ml admins took a long time to get it fixed, but it finally works again now.
but not every instance is necessarily running Lemmy right? Or are all the different sites like beehaw and kbin and such also running Llemmy?
Most instances are running Lemmy (the software). Kbin (the software) is an alternative to Lemmy (the software), though they can speak to one another, because they both use the ActivityPub protocol (same as Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and so on). Kbin is much younger than Lemmy, but eventually more instances running Kbin will show up.
But then they can’t force you to get Discord Nitro.

I plan on not having a disaster.
