No. Kbin, Lemmy, and Mastodon all use the same protocol and can communicate with each other, they just have different UI styles.

However, Lemmy (Reddit-like) doesn’t have a UI for microblogging (Twitter-like), while Mastodon (Twitter-like) doesn’t have a UI for comment threads (Reddit-like).

Only Kbin seems to have the option to use both styles of UI at the same time.

There are less Kbin instances available because Kbin is a little less mature and it’s a lot harder to setup, but the devs seem to be working on improving that.
