I found it more intuitive to find a magazine (community) with the kbin site. So much so I will.come here to find a @lemmy.world/c as federated and then may go back to lemmy to post
Moving to: m/AskMbin!
### We are moving! **Join us in our new journey as we take a new direction towards the future for this community at mbin, find our new community here and read this post to know more about why we are moving. Thank you and we hope to see you there!**
Kbin also has this karma/points system which feels odd. It skews into the negative VERY easily and is displayed on your profile
I agree this is odd and unintuitive. @ernest is aware of this issue: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/80
It's probably related to the issue of how upvotes, downvotes and favourites are treated in kbin, lemmy and mastodon (and other fediverse apps). See https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/3
Prefer Kbin, I feel the interface is cleaner and more true to the Fediverse. My complaints are A) It's really hard to just look at a list of your magazines and B) why is the reply box at the bottom of the page?
I like kbin UI a lot, found also some user styles and scripts to make it even better. For iOS I found a great app called Memmy, I wish there was something similar for kbin.
I used kbin during the blackout but I've been liking the ui of lemmy a bit better.
Desktop - Kbin. Android - Lemmy. Mobile apps for Lemmy instances are far more function than the mobile site for kbin.
Prefer lemmy with Jerboa. But commenting from kbin because their sort algorithm is better
Kbin all the way, also as de-federated community. That said, now that I'm getting the gist of selecting the instances and magazines I want, enjoying the federated content has also become easier.
Clicked a link for Lemmy a few weeks ago and backed away slowly. Later tried Kbin social and just set up an account. It was easy. It’s still new and feels awkward. There’s annoying things like scrolling for the comment box, going through profile for subscriptions and problems finding replies and comments on Lemmy, but change is never easy.
Kbin, the Lemmy interface is just a no-no for me.
I haven't created a Lemmy account, and I probably won't. I chose Kbin primarily because it's written in PHP which gives me the best opportunity to contribute, since I know the language. Haven't done much of that yet, but I am watching development and it's very active. Lots of community involvement and people trying to help. Ernest is overwhelmed but steadily working on scaling up the entire operation (infrastructure, organization, processes, etc.) with help from some great people.
I like Kbin's UI and feel more than Lemmy's though I haven't used either for very long
