Because you pretty much need a seperate Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon account. I've heard that it's somehow possible to see Lemmy posts from Mastodon, but I haven't really been able to understand it. Apparently, it's janky as hell, but I wouldn't know, as I just have 3 accounts I use, one for each 'service'.
Since I moved during the Reddit fiasco when servers were overloaded and didn't know what I was doing I just hopped from instance to instance. So now I have at least 7 dead accounts that are still probably counted in the 'users' statistic.
I'd say one person counting for ~10 is significant, and I doubt I'm alone, even if I am an outlier with my instance-hopping
Lemmy and Kbin should be pretty interoperable, but Lemmy and Mastodon don't federate particularly well, or at least, the user experience of federation is not great. The formats are just very different since Mastodon doesn't have much of a concept of groups or communities and doesn't have post titles and so on.
But you can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon and posts to the community will show up in your Mastodon feed, and you can boost, favorite (upvote), and comment on the post.
