While I am posting from a lemmy account (because I didn’t know about kbin when I made it) if I was to host one of the two it would be kbin.
The reason is that lemmy has some hardcoded moderation things inside it that I disapprove of.
I believe I should be able to say anything I want without fear of being censored on my own self hosted instance and this comes from a leftist, I don’t want to use bad words to insult people, but if I want to use them in a different context I want to be able to.
If I see an argument between a bigot and a fellow lgbtq and the bigot calls my comrade with a slur I want to be able to describe the situation using the exact words used.
I think maybe it’s a cultural difference thing, where I live using slurs in a context where we describe a situation rather than for insulting someone it’s not seen as a bad thing. We don’t give those words so much power and importance to the point that even just saying the words makes people gasp.
I believe that censoring some words by default without even considering the context they are being used in doesn’t help, I believe it just gives the words more power while we should aim to take power away from them.
The “slur filter” was causing so much arguing that the devs stopped hard coding it. Now the whoever is running the instance can choose any or no filter.
Kbin includes some mastodon/twitter-like functionality. It also makes public what you vote for and the interface is subjectively nicer. It also have PWA support for the main websites.
However, it doesn’t have app support right now. There’s significantly more development on that front with Lemmy.
To me, Kbin isn’t really ready to be used by the average person. I get a lot of error messages and many communities are missing, no matter which Kbin instance I choose. I’ll move to Kbin when it’s a little more fleshed out. For now, I’ll stick to Lemmy.
Is kbin not just another Lemmy instance? I keep seeing people mention it alongside Lemmy like it’s something different, but it doesn’t seem to be when I look.
The content is the same, as it federates with lemmy, but the server and the code that runs kbin is completely different, it’s written in php while lemmy is written in rust. Kbin also has support for microblogs (like mastodon) so it’s not lemmy at all really, but it can talk with it :)
I’ll stick with kbin, but we’re all friends here. 👍
they federate nicely at the end of the day, and that’s what matters
why kbin over lemmy? havent tested it out much.

Also kbin has a much prettier UI in my opinion.

Ah that’s good.
slur_filter_regex
doesn’t seem to have a value by default, so I don’t understand your point.I might be misinformed then, I’ll have look better into it.
My understanding is the differences are superficial, since they’re both interfaces to activity pub.

For me personally, it’s the cleaner (stock) UI
Found it first.

I haven’t had any issues.
Kbin is great too! Definitely has its upsides.
