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?
I prefer kbin myself, though it is imperfect. Comment box should be at the top of the thread, and our subscriptions we subscribe to should be more easily discoverable, under profile name/settings seems non obvious from what i’ve seen of questions asked by others.
Comment at the bottom makes me bonkers
This fixes that https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468612-kbin-enhancement-script/code
I wish I could get that but I primarily browse on my iPhone.
You still can with the Userscripts extension.
Thanks for sharing this!
Finding the subscriptions definitely a pain, what does help is going to settings >gear wheel and turning on some of the navigation bars.
