I am torn. Lemmy feels slimmer and easier to use with a wider variety of apps. Kbin has an advantage of being an “all-in-one” solution for the Fediverse with a better UI.

That said I use Mastodon for microblogging, so Kbin having that built in only clutters the site in my particular use case. While Kbin has a better UI it’s also more drab in color and harder to navigate. Kbin also has this karma/points system which feels odd. It skews into the negative VERY easily and is displayed on your profile. I prefer Lemmy’s upvote/downvote system but doesn’t have a permanent karma/points system.

I’ve been reading Lemmy is growing much faster than Kbin, but then I hear that “it’s all bots” and not real growth.

Where do you stand on this? Where do you think you’ll find yourself when this all shakes out?

    Lemmy needs just one click on an image and it enlarges the image just below the post. Kbin requires 3 clicks to see an enlarged image. Maybe this is a settings issue, and I am all ears on how to make kbin work like lemmy. But, for me, as of now, lemmy wins with this feature.
