Anyone else having trouble with Kbin? (kbin.social)

I'm a Reddit refugee trying out all the alternatives I can find to see which sticks. I guess Kbin is part of the same Fediverse as we're in here, but it seems more isolated and people on Reddit are pushing it hard. As a result I've been seeing significantly higher engagement levels there than here, despite it not having a mobile app and a confusing interface.

Today, it will barely load and I can't log in without getting an error. It's so painfully slow, maybe because it has ddos protection enabled, but it's with every page load. I'm finding it too frustrating to use, but somehow more active than what I'm seeing here where the front page of All often has posts with zero comments and only a handful of votes.

How are other refugees managing the Reddit alternatives?

I looked at kbin but didn't like the UI. lemmy = much better
