So they're all entirely separate federated networks?

No, they use ActivityPub underneath, so you can go to kbin/mastodon communities/users/etc. from Lemmy and vice versa.

The catch here being that integration between them is somewhat limited. Mastodon displays Lemmy posts as Mastodon posts, with the communities being their own accounts. Not the best system. Lemmy can’t access Mastodon posts at all(AFAIK). Interaction between Lemmy and Kbin often also leaves out lots of information.

Oh cool, thanks.
