For me:
Privacy reasons. When a comment is "deleted" on Lemmy, the comment is actually only hidden to all except instance administrators. The comment remains on the post and continues to display the poster's username. kbin is also not a beacon of privacy, but it at least removes deleted comments from threads. This is also why I try to interact more on kbin magazines than Lemmy communities.
kbin has a sweet community search tool that not only searches kbin magazines, but also Lemmy communities and even Mastodon groups. This means you can easily find communities all across the #Fediverse for any of your interests.
kbin has a much nicer/more modern UI. It's got some quirks, but it's easier to read and navigate than Lemmy by default.
Customization options! Lemmy has themes, which is cool, but kbin has themes and lots of fun toggles to change your experience.
Last but certainly not least, Lemmy devs have a pretty shit stance on human rights. (See here: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379). There are communities like #Beehaw, which are super friendly and non-problematic instances separate from the Lemmy devs, but it's worth noting that instances like Lemmy's flagship instance and Lemmygrad are run by folks with some grossly misguided views.
@ADHDefy mostly #3 for me. I am looking forward to the "hide interacted with threads" functionality to come to kbin. I'm patient though.
Edited to note - i agree with the other points too.
@Facni
How far does "interacted with" go for you?
as in, does clicking already count as interaction or would you need to comment or vote?
if it's just viewing the content, then this might be done using a simple userScript as Kbin already remembers which threads you've viewed on the homepage.
@TGRush
for me any of the up/downvote, click in to view, or boost counts.
I'm a scroller, but, like, if i see a joke in https://lemmy.world/c/dadjokes then i can chuckle and give it an upvote but i dont have to click in and load the thread fully. But the next time i load the page id lke to not have to scroll past that same thread to see new stuff.
If i downvote something id like to not see it again on the next load. If i open a thread and read the comment posts, i dont need to see that thread again on tne next load.
That sort of thing.
It does have some downsides in that finding threads i /sort-of/ remember and want to check again is harder, but i'm used to that.
