I like the UI better, like that it interacts with things like Mastadon, and, what was honestly the biggest thing, doesn't have a dumb auto-refresh I can't disable (which Lemmy did (at least for a while)).
They both have a lot of growing up to do. Not being able to collapse threads in kbin is driving me crazy; especially for long threads with many nested levels, I can't tell what is even top-level.
Lemmy got rid of the auto refresh youβre referring to. No more live updates.
That's good news. I'm fine with it as an optional setting, but I hated trying to read something and poof
There's two different PRs with collapsible threads in codeberg. Fingers crossed one or the other get merged soon.

Nice! I knew about 167 but not 704. Here's hoping!
Look up kbin enhancement suit KES. They have android, iOS and Mac that I know of. Simple to add and theyβre implementing a lot of features
This. Is. AWESOME! So many so cool features!
I hate that I have to rely on some other add-in, but this makes things so much easier. Thank you!
The auto refresh was what brought me here. The layout kept me.
There are several userscripts for collapsible threads, I've used them since like day 2 after the Reddit shutdown!
I use this one: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468923-kbin-improved-collapsible-comments
Works both on desktop and Android (Firefox + Tampermonkey).
This. Is. AWESOME! So many so cool features!
