It is not Lemmy or kbin, it is the fediverse. (kbin.social)

I don't think many people understand that if they use Lemmy or kbin, they are posting to the fediverse. There are other platforms and will be more to come. Referring to a post on "Lemmy" or "kbin" is like saying you saw a post on your Windows or Mac computer.

We should be referring to it as...

I saw it on the fediverse.
Hey fediverse users ...
A thread on the fediverse...

New terms may emerge but referring to the platform seems weird, almost ignorant.

edit: A better example is email. You wouldn't assume everyone is on Hotmail because that is the email provider you use. You say I'm sendingan eamail, not I'm sending a Hotmail.

So can I log into a lemmy app with my kbin details ? Or do I have to sign up on lemmy ?

You sign in to whatever instance you signed up for, and comment/reply/post to whatever platform or thread you follow on whatever instance it's hosted on.

...just like you sign in to your email provider and send an email to a user in any other provider.
