  1. Still trying to wrap my head around exactly how the fediverse works. I understand it is decentralized. Are kbin and lemmy somehow intermingled? Meaning am I able to view lemmy content here on kbin and interact with it without having to create an account on beehaw or whatever?

  2. What exactly is the difference between the upvote (and downvote) button and boost? Is boost just upvote but moreso?

  3. Is there a "save" function like reddit had, where you can bookmark posts to your profile?

  4. Is there an android app(s) for kbin?

  5. What are tags and badges? I just left them blank for this post.

  6. Is there anything else that I'm not asking that I should know?

  7. Are the answers to any of this in the FAQ and am I fucking up by not reading it?

Thanks all.

  1. I am from a lemmy instance and yes it is intermingled. you can post on lemmy posts and view them from kbin and vice versa, depending on where your account is located and that is how the federation works
  4. I don't know about kbin but for lemmy it has jerboa as well as lemmur, but that one is broken

Thanks for the reply man. Are there any restrictions on how a kbin user can interact with a lemmy post or visa versa?
