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.
Edit: well snap! It's true! Thanks kind Internet stranger! You just made my summer! Sucks it's on Hulu though. I was just about to cancel that service.
Only reason I picked kbin was because of the interface. No offense, but lemmy seems a little janky at the moment. But it doesn't matter, we're all here anyway.
Federation is no more wonky than between regular Lemmy instances in my experience. I've had issues with both at times.
It was only for a few days when the Reddit protest started that federation was barely working at all, it's been mostly fine for quite a while now!
This is something that I don't quite get because Kbin doesn't even have an option to collapse comments, are there are any other things that you think Kbin does better than Lemmy? I also don't like how the thumbnails are stretched for image posts, and that images open on a second page load instead of inline. The lemmy experience in 0.17 was a bit messy with webhooks, but 0.18 is much better (check lemmy.ml for an instance running 0.18).
I kinda prefer that look honestly with the stretched boxes and thumbnails. Collapse comments is nice on Lemmy but I found that when i was upvoting or refreshing it seemed to lag and take a few seconds. Maybe that’s fixed I’ll go check it out!
I browse on desktop, therefore at this point in time, I use kbin. All other UIs I've found in the fediverse are pretty bad by comparison. Way too much garbage on the screen on most of them, and lemmy.world has an auto-updating scroll that you can't disable that I suspect is also a memory leak.

The auto-updating should be gone in Lemmy 0.18, but lemmy.world is waiting for 0.18.1 to update so they can keep sign-up captcha. Should only be a couple of days, from what I've read.

I'm pretty sure it is. I've heard several people mention that their browser tab will crash if they leave it open. When I'm done browsing, I'll leave it on my profile page and haven't had any problems.
The software stack seems more stable, the web interface is better and more flexible, and the development team seems more sound than Lemmy's. Heck I could potentially drop my Akkoma and PeerTube accounts entirely as well.
Personally that's the appeal for me! Once they add following hashtags I think I'll move over to kbin and toss my Mastadon and Lemmy accounts so I only have to manage a single login
I like to thing we all are sons of the Fediverse. 😇
One big Fedmily
"Sons of the Fediverse" sounds like a cult.
All hail the Fediverse then.
Brother in Fed, how are you doing on this fine day under the light of the Fediverse?
What are you doing step-lemmy?
Lemmy show you my kabin
I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
Could mean 1 of 2 things:
You pick ;)

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

Eh. Did you see what Reddit looked like in 2010 compared to Digg?
Why not both?
And why not Zoidberg?
July 24th is the date they're releasing the new season if Futurama and I think about it once a day.
What what WHAAAAAAAAT!
Are you fr about this?
Edit: well snap! It's true! Thanks kind Internet stranger! You just made my summer! Sucks it's on Hulu though. I was just about to cancel that service.
Thank you for the great, no, good news everyone!
there's gonna be a new season of Futurama‽

The fediverse wars, begun they have.
Nah just friendly jabbing.
It's not much of a war when the whole point is that they can interact with each other transparently.
I use kbin to VIEW Lemmy content because I prefer the responsiveness and the UI a bit more than Lemmy itself. But choices are good!

Right? I don't care where the content comes from. That's the great thing about the fediverse.
I can see that, but from my end it's a bit problematic for the time being :/
The homepage for kbin is a lot better at sorting active posts. I prefer it on this end 👍
New update seems to have improved active/ hot on Lemmy

Currently stuck with Lemmy, gonna move as soon as I manage to package kbin for YunoHost
Why are you going to move? Genuinely curious.

You can watch peer tube on kbin?
@WhoRoger Wait, seriously?
AFAIK kbin is just Lemmy+Mastodon mixed into a weird combo so yeah, it just acts like another Lemmy instance for the most part
Kbin has quite a few of its own posts but a lot is from Lemmy and mastodon, yeah. From my perspective, Lemmy acts like another kbin instance!
Personally that's the appeal for me! Once they add following hashtags I think I'll move over to kbin and toss my Mastadon and Lemmy accounts so I only have to manage a single login
