While i have never used kbin i have no doubt that it can do everything listed above.
Really the fediverse is a "choose your own interface" kinda place. Do you understand reddit UI best? Use lemmy. Does twitter UI make sense to you? Use mastodon. Do you like both? Use both for different reasons.

That is the whole point. Get rid of the silo social media so you never have to lose your social graph again because you moved to a new service they are not on
Is there any good documentation about how to go about doing this? What's the user experience like?
Not that i am aware of. Howerlver users are always @user@domain from what i have seen and you can always copy a link into your instance search box and get the resulting profile post, comment, whatever to surface
