YSK that a lot of common questions/complaints about Lemmy are presently answered by kbin
This is not an attempt to convert Lemmy users, nor is it a slight on Lemmy. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why Lemmy works better for some, and I love the fact that we not only have multiple choices, but multiple choices that allow us to interact with each other regardless! It's amazing. Lemmy is great, no shade.
With that said...
Why YSK: I see a lot of users posting frequent questions about Lemmy that are currently answered by kbin.
For example:
- The ability to block a whole domain, or subscribe to one
- The ability to subscribe to individual users
- A built-in search tool to find communities all over fedi (kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon groups, etc.) with an indication of how active they are
- Mitigation for the "tracking pixel" issue
I find that almost every day, I see Lemmy users asking about features and I think, "well, kbin does that." I think it would be worthwhile for more users to check into both platforms and decide which might be best for them.
You're viewing a single thread.
I've been using kbin mostly on my computer, and its interesting to see the lemmy.world feeds pop in. still learning all the function of kbin. on my phone I just use wefwef.app as there seems to be a lot more of the low brow content I am looking for when pooping like funny memes.
Does wefwef (voyager) support kbin? It sounds like that's what you are implying, just want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding.
If so, I may make a kbin account and see how that works. Mostly I am looking for a familiar "post/subscribe into categorical communities" solution with no extra fluff. That's why I like Lemmy, but I haven't looked into kbin at all, in truth.
