  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.

For #4 at least I think kbin.pub shows there being an app being in progress. Not sure how close to release it is.

Early days for a lot of this stuff, but I'm pretty excited to see it all develop.

I found an iOS app in development (https://lemmy.ml/c/mlemapp), but unfortunately you can only log into a lemmy account. it's not compatible with kbin. this is kind of an issue, because we need to catch the momentum and third party app are allies.
