It has to do with the subreddit r/196 where they have a "rule" of posting something if you visit. They migrated to !196@blahaj.lemmy.zone and the subreddit is closed to new posts.

On kbin they call them magazines.
yea really either kbin or lemmy is fine, to me it seems more about what works best for you, hell some people are fine with using mastodon and just dealing with the jank of reading threaded posts there because they only want to follow a few communities. Also yea I'm using a cheap VPS with 2 vCPUs, 2GB RAM, and 40GB SSD storage and it is just fine for a single user instance
People are used to absolute convenience but don't realize it always comes with consessions
Part of it is that Lemmy instances are dealing with a major influx of new users and it's causing server issues. I decided to avoid that and the defederation drama and fired up my own instance. I'm kind of curious if I could use another server to run a kbin instance and just have it be kbin.captainapathetic.cfd instead, I don't see why it wouldn't work, considering doing it for Mastodon too.
I'm pretty sure it's deleted from your account's instance but not others.
I feel like federation let's this basically be what many want reddit to be, a platform by the userbase, for the userbase.

Inaccurate, laptop needs to be a 10+ year old ThinkPad running Linux.
From what I understand as long as it's a Federated activitypub based instance like Mastodon, kbin, and Lemmy they can communicate between each other but the platforms can have issues presenting the data from other ones in a way that makes sense.
Wonder if there's a magazine/community on Kbin or Lemmy.
