With Twitter and Reddit the way that they are, many people are turning to federated servers as their online home, kbin among them.

How are you using kbin? As a Twitter replacement? Reddit? As something new entirely?

Personally I'm trying to follow multiple types of federated content, magazines, and people.

I think kbin has a lot of growth to go through before all that content can become streamlined and look nice - but it's all there, and that's what counts.

If there's one thing I would change, it would be putting the comment box at the top, or in a drop-down instead of at the very bottom of a thread. But, I'm also just happy that the site is more stable and people are posting!

I agree with most of that, and I am the same: lemmy replaces reddit and mastodon replaces twitter for me.

The only thing I kind of disagree with is that being "rough around the edge" is the main issue. I think the main issue is our respective user bases are just too small, and we need more users. Perhaps a chicken/egg kind of problem?

p.s., You post great content!

Rough around the edges is, like I said, an issue for me specifically, not the biggest issue. Since I post a lot, I’ve also had to block a fair number of people, which is how I’ve learned block is such a mess. And there have been posting bugs I’ve run into that still haven’t gotten fixed and require workarounds. So I’m hitting a lot of the rough patches that folks that just browse or occasionally comment might not.

p.s., You post great content!

Thank you; I try!
