I'm new to Lemmy and kbin, so these points may be more a me-thing than a Lemmy/kbin-thing, but from what I can see:

  • Accessing Lemmy content from kbin is pretty seamless, but it's difficult to access kbin from Lemmy.

  • kbin's integration with Mastodon/microblogging fediverses is neat.

  • kbin seems to have more magazines catering to more of my specific interests and hobbies, while Lemmy's communities are more generic.

  • This is specific to the instance I am on (beehaw.org), but I can't access the Lemmy instance when I'm using ProtonVPN.

  • I just read through the Mastodon thread on how the Lemmy developers are not consistent with their own policies of human rights. While that doesn't automatically mean that Lemmy is bad, I feel more comfortable using software by developers who are not known to be "tankies".
