I see a very small minority of people using Kbin, but I don’t understand why.

Is this just a coincidence and did some people choose Kbin over Lemmy or is there a good reason to use Kbin?

    Also the ability for users to block instances and domain like mastodon has, which is pretty cool.

      This is a big one. There were some contributions from either instances or bots on my feed I didn’t like that I just blocked, and my feed is fine now. No need to ask for defederation of the whole community when you can do it yourself.

          But not instances or servers, that’s a much needed feature to de-porn my feed.

              Yep, although it’s almost been a year since the request so I don’t know how high it’s priority wise.

              Since the question was why people use Kbin that is a big one for now, at least for me although I have an account there I just prefer lemmy since Kbin seems to be too much on its infancy and also the fact that because it doesn’t have an open API as of now, there are (almost) no apps developed.

                Given the massive uptake in the last month I’m hoping a lot of old issues are now being looked at!

      I’m still searching everywhere for the ability to block entire instances in kbin (on mobile). Can you please elaborate on how it is done? I only see magazine pages with the block option.

        If you click on the menu next to the Kbin logo, at the top there’s a clog and a triangle. The triangle is the federation one.
