I have most of the Fediverse-based account and seem to have just gravitated towards Lemmy over Kbin as found it very confusing, What makes you prefer Kbin over Lemmy or any other Fediverse instances?

I had created a Lemmy account at the beginning, not having a clue about things (like so many of us). Then I ran into someone suggesting Kbin - had to search around to figure out where it was and how to get it. The early stock UI for Kbin won me over vs. Lemmy's, even though the content was (more or less) the same. With lots of scripting to customize the looks further and with features those scripts or default that Lemmy users are asking for at the moment, I'm very happy here.

Am I getting the same as any other Lemmy user? I think it comes and goes (it seems to vary between Lemmy instances too), but that's a matter of maturing the federation workings, and I get plenty as it is so it's not like there's nothing to see. Plus when I need more things to look at I can jump over to the microfeed tab and get lots to read as well from Mastadon.

Yeah from my research it does seem like Kbin might have more to be able to do on it and I can see why people enjoy it. I really enjoy the statistics on Kbin and wish they came to Lemmy but I much prefer the UI / UX of Lemmy, it's just clean and simple.
