I mostly see Lemmy communities in my “All” page, but I am not sure if that is the case, how discovery across Kbin and Lemmy would work.

I have a kbin post on my front page, but it’s near the bottom. It’s from their politics magazine.
It doesn’t just depend on discovery, it also depends on level of activity.
Some instances and communities are waaaaaaaaay more active than others. Meme communities pretty much dwarf anything else at the moment in terms of content, but that is slowly changing. However, it means in the meantime that newer posts or posts with less activity won’t float to the top so much.
As more people actually interact with big discussion threads about serious issues, more of those will float to the top.
In my experience, it really pays to upvote and interact with anything that really interests you. It’s intimidating to throw in the first comment, but important. A post is more likely to stay at zero comments the more people see zero comments. Why would you want to interact in a thread where nobody has posted? No one talking?
You’ll end up with a few posts as the sole commenter, but you’ll end up with more posts with discussion.
If you want to see more kbin content, do that for all kbin content you see, and you’ll be helping spur growth. My two cents anyway. Cheers.

This is a really important point. If I sort by new I see a lot more diversity.
I made an account on both world and kbin, I gave up mostly on the kbin account, I couldn’t find anything local that caught my eye and I didn’t like the UI layout for it, that night be part of their issue as well
I did the same. Then realised I could follow most of the more interesting kbin magazines from lemmy. So that’s where I’ve stayed.
Also, having a mobile app is probably the second most important thing to me (after content). And lemmy has lots of options there.
Funny, I started on Lemmy and switched to kbin because I prefer kbin’s UI. Can’t please everybody!
Which is why platform diversity and interoperability is or can be a super power for the fediverse. you can’t please everybody with a single platform, but you might have a chance with an ecosystem of different platforms that can talk to each other.
