Lemmy and kbin are two different forum software that can be installed and run on servers. Because both use the ActivityPub protocol, the content between them can be shared. So, a Lemmy user will be able to see content from a server running kbin, using Lemmy.
There isn’t an option, you can’t even tell but you already have the kbin content.
You can’t disable it.
The reason that’s happening right now is because kbin is enacting ddos protection using cloudflare so they aren’t federating properly, this is a temporary problem.
The other way round should also work (ie. to see kbin content on Lemmy), but for some reason it’s not working on major Lemmy instances for me, even though they are federated to kbin.social and other kbin instances.

This is due to Kbin using Cloudflare anti DDoS, which disallows Lemmy instances reaching it
To see Lemmy content on kbin, just add the full address of the Lemmy instance to the end of the kbin URL. For example, https://kbin.social/m/lemmyworld@lemmy.world lets you see content from !lemmyworld@lemmy.world on https://kbin.social.

Someone said the cloudflare protection is breaking that ability
Same here. I can actually see the Kbin communities when I search, but it is showing no content. Not sure what it looks like from the Kbin side.
As another poster said, CloudFlare protection is breaking sync with Kbin at the moment.
I set up an account in kbin a last week and objectively prefer it, but it’s become kind of unusable over the last couple of days.
