I feel like all the reddit neckbeards went to Lemmy. Better vibe over here plus branding + UI.

One thing that I like about kbin is that it's not trying to be "x, but federated" like lemmy or mastodon for example. It's more exiting to try to make something new! I think it's very apparent how some parts of lemmy are full of redditisms on purpose which I disslike.
That said, I do have a lemmy account that I use for posting about other stuff. There are a tons of website sprouting up as contenders for a space in the new internet landscape and I'm having a lot of fun trying them out without really binding myself to one too tightly
- Tried joining a Lemmy instance but loading spinner stay stuck , didn't successfully create account
- Not much of a redditor , glad you're not limited to redditlike functions . Only downside's microblog functionality very basic compared to single purpose platforms (Mastodon|(.*)key) , but don't want hassle of maintaining multiple fediverse accounts
I don't really understand the difference, I think it's a shame that a Reddit replacement gets split into two camps in the Fediverse. At the very least, they should use the exact same data at the back end and interact with each other seamlessly. In either case, this is what you get in an open protocol. Maybe one or the other will win out in the long run.
Started with kbin today. After the first few interactions , it seems to get much better.
