I wanted give a try to kbin.social but not sure how private is the instance, the interface looks really nice but im worried about its privacy and how private is compared with Lemmy?

Nothing on the fediverse is truly private. Treat everything you say as public and as permanent.

What do you mean? Are private messages viewable by other users? Or other fediverse admins (that can also be everybody with a computer and a internet connection)
They are potentially viewable by admins since they’re not encrypted end to end and are stored in the database. It’s why there’s a warning message when you try to send someone a DM.
It’s the fediverse. I don’t see how it would be any more or less “private”.
i still learning,but so far i deleted my reddit and twitter accounts and changed them for mastodon and lemmy,thanks for the reply!
Yeah as everyone else said, nothing in the Internet is truly private.
That said, I believe the fediverse is better for preventing use of your data because no one server/instance has all the data. This makes it harder to track and use your data across servers/instances.

I can reply from our Lemmy instance :-) I think it depends on how you post certain things. But mostly it’s public I guess
Mastodon and other Fediverse software have more options if it comes to privacy
