Not properly joining independent clauses with conjunctions and/or punctuation is called a run-on sentence and is a pretty common problem when people forget to use punctuation and run-on sentences are pretty hard to read as you might imagine.
Yes. two independent clauses can be joined by a conjunction.
Using a comma to join independent clauses that could stand alone as sentences
This is called a compound sentence. It consists of two or more independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions such as "and," "but," or "or." Each clause can stand alone as a complete sentence.
A compound sentence becomes a comma splice when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined together with just a comma, without a coordinating conjunction or proper punctuation. This creates a run-on sentence where the two ideas are not properly connected.
This is known as a comma splice. It is considered a punctuation error as it incorrectly joins two independent clauses without a coordinating conjunction or appropriate punctuation. To correct a comma splice, you can either use a semicolon, separate the clauses into two sentences, or add a coordinating conjunction like "and," "but," or "or."
When two independent clauses are joined together correctly, they form a compound sentence. This means that the clauses are able to stand alone as separate sentences but are joined by a coordinating conjunction (like "and," "but," or "or") or a semicolon.
Yes. two independent clauses can be joined by a conjunction.
A semicolon (;)
Seperate independent clauses when they are joined by verbs.

Comma-splice
You have described a "complex" sentence. - Simple sentence = An independent clause. - Compound sentence = Two independent clauses joined with a conjunction. - Complex sentence = An independent clause plus one or more dependent clauses.
Using a comma to join independent clauses that could stand alone as sentences
A compound sentence has 2 or more coordinate independent clauses. A complex sentence is made from a dependent and independent clauses joined together.
The two types of compound sentences are coordinated compound sentences, where independent clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction, and subordinated compound sentences, where independent clauses are joined by a subordinating conjunction.
Clauses can be joined together using coordinating conjunctions (e.g. and, but, or), subordinating conjunctions (e.g. because, although, while), and relative pronouns (e.g. who, which, that). This allows you to create complex sentences by connecting independent and dependent clauses.
