Kbin is new, the distinctions between Magazine and micro-blogging creates an extra barrier to understand the system, the few instances are straining under the load, and it's very much in beta.
New users won't be terribly forgiving, so I feel like Lemmy's the better option.
I never understood why questionable views from software devs might be a problem.
It's not like I can only use software made by people who don't eat meat, and everyone's doctors are partially informed by science performed by the Nazis.
I have no idea what kind of world these people think they're living in, as if everything were developed with shared values, and a pure conscience, until Lemmy came along.
Is "Magazine" just a community/subreddit/forum? I took a quick look at Kbin and found the terminology odd. I would have expected something called a "magazine" to combine communities or something, but I couldn't otherwise find any communities on Kbin.
Yes, a magazine is just a community or subreddit. I prefer the UI of Kbin but the terminology takes some getting used to. There's also regular posts and microblogs.
It is. A magazine is essentially a subreddit. I too found kbin a bit confusing at first but it's not so bad once you get used to it. One thing I really don't like about kbin is all of your up/downvotes, boosts, magazines you're subscribed to, etc. are exposed for everyone to see.
Thanks for the info. I had a closer look at Kbin today, and it wasn't apparent how visible which things were. Finding info over there is also a challenge, because all documentation/help articles are pretty much aimed at admins setting up servers, which I'm not ready to do.
I'm still checking it out, though the services are all up and down, so I don't have a full handle on it yet.
