IDK about Kbin, but Lemmy is pretty solid just using a mobile web browser. I suspect Kbin might be too though, have you tried it?

Lemmy is better on web than kbin.

But kbin lets you block entire instances as a user, which is worth the tradeoff for me.

There was a couple instances I just didn't want to see and blocking them by community was like whack a mole

Let's you block domains as a user. It doesn't block the entire instance, some posts do and will still come through (as I've found over the weeks lol). They've said on the github that a feature is incoming to outright block instances, if I read correctly.

Edit: Sorry, codebase, not github: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/118#issuecomment-942720 ernests last comment.

Kbin is tolerable in a mobile browser, but it actually becomes quite good once you decide to use Firefox on mobile and install the Tampermonkey addon along with some community userscripts to improve the functionality. Kbin is much younger than Lemmy, so it's just playing catch-up right now.

On PC, I very much prefer Kbin's user interface (but still with custom userscripts and a few minor changes to the theme I use).

Yeah I feel like Kbin will be the main hub for the Great Reddit Migration. Even tho it isn't as popular as Lemmy, as you said, it's pretty recent and growing fast. The interface is, IMO, much more user-friendly than Lemmy tho.

But it's a matter of taste and opinion, at the end of the day, I don't care because I can access all the posts from both federation(?)
