This question is especially for people who have joined in the last week. Have you used other fediverse platforms or is this your first time really using one? What do you think of it so far? Are you aware that you can comment on Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account?
Joined Lemmy last week but moved to kbin, I’ve been on the Fediverse for a few years now. First joined on Mastodon, but now I actively use Calckey, Akkoma, and am a mod on a Peertube instance. As for what I thought of Lemmy, I liked it, but I was more curious about kbin as I’d heard about it for a while
I created both a kbin and lemmy account to see which one I like better but so far I like the UI of lemmy a little better. I find kbin annoying that I can’t easily see my subscribed magazines easily and the mobile web UI is even worse in that I couldn’t find a way to create an account on it initially or navigate anywhere I’d expect to go. Also while I like the idea of the fediverse, right now I’m not liking that while all instances and other fediverse implementations can all interact with each other, I don’t like that they all take a while to sync up and see each others comments on other instances right away, it takes some time (although I suppose it could be due to the mass influx of new users). I’m optimistic that it will grow in the near future given the mass migration, so time will tell
the good thing is that both Lemmy and Kbin can interact with each other ^^
Is kbin.social not a Lemmy instance?
@Quinncuatro @NeonBlue kbin.social is a #kbin-instance.
kbin also has communities called “magazines” and a tab for microblogging in addition.
@hydra
I’m still trying to figure that out, like how can I (Lemmy.world) see kbin content? I don’t see any of it I don’t think?
Go to the search page and put in a link to a kbin magazine (what lemmy calls communities and reddit called subreddits) for example https://kbin.social/m/tech
One of the results will be something like https://lemmy.world/c/tech@kbin.social
It might not have any content on it until you or another user on your instance subscribes to it though
Once you subscribe from the https://lemmy.world/c/tech@kbin.social page it will show up as a subscription for you on Lemmy until you unsubscribe so you don’t need to search for it every time
Will it appear in my all feed?
I’m not 100% on that, I think so though.
Does kbin have their own channels/subs?
