Having a Star Trek forum that isn't run by the corporate shrills that run the reddit subreddit is always going to be popular. Did you know r/StarTrek leads all of reddit on account bans with over 1.5 million as of 2021?

I pressed the link and my lemmy app closed

So if im understanding this correctly, and im pretty new to kbin, an instance in reference to /r is just an entire subreddit hosted by someone on their own server instead of on lemmy or kibin, and it is being federated or connected to lemmy and kbin like it is a magazine?

Also, when i click on the kbin link above, it says it doesnt have the latest content...how often does it sync?
