No. It’s a different technology - in the same way that Mastadon is a different technology.
However, Kbin federates with Lemmy - so users can engage in each other’s posts.
So is Kbin similar to Lemmy (by being Reddit-like), but distinct like Mastadon (which is Twitter-like)?
Kbin does both.
There are communities (they use the word ‘magazines’) which works very similarly to Reddit. And also, there is a Microblogging feature, which works very similar to Twitter.
However I have some FOMO about Kbin because I don’t understand how it all works together.
It doesn’t cost you anything to sign up for, so give it a try.
Personally, I never cared about Twitter-like microblogging - so I’m okay with keeping just a Lemmy account.

Well, it does mean your Lemmy presence is split into yet-another account. I must say, it’s quite annoying to keep creating accounts while you’re “shopping around” different instances.
