Asklemmy

I'm in both, so...

Personally using Lemmy as I find the interface, syntax (linking users and communities), and deployment easy to use.

Also I personally want to contribute to Lemmy and learning Rust is a high priority in my personal and work life.

I like both. Currently on kbin because of the All bug on lemmy. My aim is to use both for a longer period.

Idk i just heard of lemmy first

I can't signup for lemmy, the submit wheel spins and spins

Honestly, I just like the UI better.

At the end of the day that’s a large reason to choose any of the federated platforms because as it matures we will seamlessly be able to communicate with each other. Be it Mastadon, Kbin, Lemmy, Pixelfed etc.

That’s what I love about federation. It won’t matter what platform we are on, we just choose the one that looks the best for us and can talk to EVERYBODY. It wouldn’t surprise me if down the road there is a better universal alternative that shows Mastodon, Lemmy/Kbin, Pixelfed content in their original format all in one instance (could be like tabs or all in one feed). I would personally use that but if anyone just wants to see posts in a Lemmy-like format they have the power to choose.

It's really easy to check out these various Fediverse projects, just go to an instance, don't even have to create an account to check it out. I had Lemmy bookmarked for a long time because it was mentioned as an alternative to Reddit, but never checked it out. I had no idea what ActvityPub was all about and was really wowed by it when I looked into it. It's like, man, I should have got on the Fediverse a long time ago.

Anyway you can access most content from most any platform in the Fediverse to it's just a matter of trying the projects to see what you like the best. I like Lemmy a lot for its interface design, but if you like Kbin better, use that.

I have to admit Lemmy is still a bit rough around the edges as far as browser access, but it works well enough and I expect it will get a better and more feature rich as it matures. I don't use mobile much for internet access myself, but I hope that mobile apps for it can also develop quickly as that will be really important for its adoption.

Lemmy is the first one I heard about, and that's where I made my account. Kbin is also a much newer project, so I'm less confident that it'll be around in the mid-to-long term future than lemmy.world, and I'd rather not have to make a new account.

I feel like Lemmy has more content, probably because it's been around longer, so it's a good base to build from.

I'm also giving an answer to the other thread on Kbin, since I think there are good reasons to use that one as well. They're both solid, and I'm using both regularly--often viewing posts from one service on the other. For me, it's "yes AND," not "no BUT."

I started with both at the same time and I spent far more time here. I don't know, if kbin still has the problem, but every single time I opened kbin, I had to do the whole cloudflare-process of waiting, check a box, wait again and then get redirected. Apart from that I prefer the layout here and since here are more users, there is always new content and it feels lively.

Kbin just sounds cooler, dude.
I mean, lemmy - that's just lame with extra steps. Eww. Yuck. Yucky. Not cool. Actual cringe, tbh. 🤢
Kbin. That's like cool-beans, dude. Actually rad. And based. 😎
Who doesn't want to be cool? I tell you, nerds, that's who. Do you want to be a nerd? Didn't think so.
Checkmate. Try proving me wrong (pro-tip: you can't)

Everyone in kbin is handsome and / or gorgeous! Everyone in Lemmy is a Lemmy user 😛 /s

In all seriousness, kbin is developed by Ernest who is an extremely devoted and trustworthy dev. Lemmy is developed by CCP shills. That's the reason I chose kbin.

kbin is also getting steadily updated and I have a very good feeling about its stability and featureset in a few months taking a look at the GitHub.

I first was on Lemmy, now on kbin. Kbin is just a much more nicer experience. Also it's not developed by tankies who glorify f*cking Mao Zedong. Simple as that.
