Asklemmy

Rust > PHP

Learned about Lemmy from Reddit but never heard of kbin until recently. That said, I like the name Lemmy a lot more than the name kbin. kbin sounds like a hex editor for KDE, not a Reddit alternative. I love the open source community, but sometimes the names of projects leave much to be desired. Lemmy isn't the perfect name but it's more memorable than kbin.

Started on lemmy. Haven’t gotten annoyed yet and can’t currently be bothered to try yet another new thing.

I liked both but ultimately joined Lemmy over kbin because it seems like there's more interest in building mobile apps for Lemmy. (Currently using Jerboa) Also like that my Lemmy instance is based on renewable energy which is nice.

I just heard about Lemmy first. Maybe later I'll try kbin too.

I tried Kbin and its way harder for me somehow searching other federated instanced content on Kbin than on lemmy.

It feels like for Kbin you need to go first to lets say Lemmy.world and then check the list and copy the names of each then search it.

on any lemmy instance i can simply search the things and find stuff of other instances way easier.

also Lemmy is like WAY bigger of user base posts and comments.

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.

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.

I'm in both, but I'm a Reddit refugee looking for a similar experience. 99% of my Reddit's time was through the RIF app and Jeroba looks and feels the same, so currently I only use lemmy.

I wouldn't mind switching over to kbin if it gets better in the future since I can read everything from anywhere.

I found a specific Lemmy instance that I wanted to join. For what I use it for the format suits me better but if not for this instance I probably would've been on kbin just cuz it seems easier to interact with mastodon through it

I have accounts on 3 Lemmy instances and this one on kbin, right now I use kbin a bit more cause it‘s smoother for me, but if Lemmy apps mature faster I might use those more.

I never really got that attached to any of my Reddit accounts either, so that feels natural to me.

What a difference, we can talk to each other :F

I came to kbin first when reddit shut down the /r/kbinmigration sub. Streisand effect.

Later I learned it was an anti spam feature and not intentional, but the damage was done.

1. Rust > PHP
2. At the moment, Lemmy is more stable & have workable Android Apps.
3. People who can use software regardless of the creator's political belief/worldview tend to be more open-minded and rational than purist who choose software only built by those who has same worldview with them even when it was inferior or lacking many features than alternatives.
4. People on Lemmy is diverse in their ideological/worldview, It makes conversation more interesting and less prone to be an echo chamber for one ideological believe.

People started talking about the reddit API change and named lemmy as an alternative. So that's the one I checked out. Didn't here of kbin til I was already here.

I think lemmy looks nicer visually. I'll probably give kbin a try at some point.

I'm in both, so...

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."
