I guess it's both. Met a lot of kbin people in the past few days, so I went to check how this here looks from there. Kbin interface + Lemmy content seems like the best of both worlds, but the interoperability is pretty broken, sadly.

Personally, I'm here for the interface. I tried getting into Lemmy. It was unnecessarily arcane, and unnecessarily arcane things usually don't prosper in these scenarios.

I disagree... I prefer Lemmy's interface over that of kbin, plus it has better mobile app support. I'd say mobile app support is what matters most in the long run if we want more users.

Maybe I will change my mind once Artemis comes out. But it is nice that they federate with each other.

Eh. Did you see what Reddit looked like in 2010 compared to Digg?

The default Lemmy interface is not great but that will change. Already quite a few nicer themes out. It's early days. :)
